I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with other tools that use Motion Prediction for smooth interpolation between frames?
Imagine you have a short video sequence, perhaps a skateboard jump of 3 seconds, at 30fps that's 90 frames, and you want to slow it down to 300 frames or more so it takes 5 -10 seconds, runs in slow-mo.
Or, you have a 3D rendering that takes hours to complete even for just 30 frames, and you need 5x to 10x that many for longer duration but can't wait for the rendering of several days.
Frame blending with time stretching ain't cutting it because it leaves crawling effects, as it blends from one frame to the next.
Motion prediction can in some cases produce better results. It has its limitations too but in some cases it can help turn a 60 frame sequence into a 600 frame sequence and it only takes minutes to render those additionals.
So, I'm looking for other tools that do that, want to compare, see their options etc...
Anyone work with video, 3D animation, do post work? Does After Effects do frame tweening with motion prediction? Any other tools out there? (I mean other than PD Pro of course :-)
