Someone correct me if i am wrong here.
isn't twixtor very similar to apple's own frame blending function, Optical Flow?
It used to be only available in motion but it is now built inside FCPX.
i have always used optical flow and have found it to be fairly good.
Find it user the time remapping settings (in the same area as effects, transitions etc.) under 'video quality' choose optical flow and see how that works out for you.

Oh SWEET dude...didnt know anything like that! i have scratched the surface of FCPX good to know dude thanks
We had Twixtor on Avid for years. Havent upgraded it since. After Effects does an amazing job as well.
Dont thank me, thank the Internet
Seriously, Im glad FCPX came out with the drama cause all it did was speed up the positive links and tutorials.
All the bashers can sit back and gloat but honestly its a good tool and thats all it is! Its not freakin cancer.
FYI Im Avid MC user at my work but also teach FCP at local college (soon to be FCPX). I have my reasons to hate and love all them tools but it doesnt help to be negative when you want to move forward in this medium.
Probably that I dont know. most of my footage I bring in and go out for a movie
figured it out
for anyone else...slow the clip down, then run optical flow over it
bit slow...but really cant wait for my 8gb upgrade! im starting to like FCPX more though
Good tip, keep em comingfigured it out

Good tip, keep em coming
im sure you knew that though
what will speed up my rendering times?
i have quad core i7 2.93 currently 4gb but upgrade to 12gb coming soon
just bought a 1tb gtech FW drive (not SSD) which i use as my scratch and media drive.
anything else?
Nope not yet. Havent touched Optical Flow to date in FCPX. Currently working on the workflow for my next curriculum. SInce its a side job, I do that from home. Ive done two projects on FCPX and mostly skate videos, tons over 100 GoProHD clips thus why I said "went to movie" during importim sure you knew that though

Optical flow is one of the hardest things you can ask FCPX to do. it will take an age to render
my macs in the sig and it still takes enough time that i visibly age by the time it has finished!

I cant imagine using that on anything 4K. Most sfx I do goes into After Effects. Have to block that shot big time. If I get a chance Ill test OF with some 4K res files. Should be fun to watch
Blimely thats a beast!
is it worth the wait? I have just tried to slow down something from a gopro @ 60fps to 3% it was shocking. But i guess for 3% you need 1000+ fps
however for something 50-25% slower it was super clean. Its a great little feature, i love finding new little features.
taking out optical flow how are you rendering times? would the need upgrades help speed mine up ?
