Re: Shooting for Twixtor

I think I misunderstood your problem.

I though you were just trying to go to film. And shooting 60p to get 24p is not the best way.

However, if you need to retime in the middle of that process, then I would suggest you shoot 60p. And shoot with a decently high shutter speed as well (Twixtor does much better if objects aren't motion blurred). You can always add motion blur with ReelSmart Motion Blur as a post process if your images are too sharp after Twixtor-izing.

Also note; if you need to change frame rates we only support frame rate changes in After Effects and combusion. Note you can perform a frame rate change with FCP and Twixtor, but it involves writing out each frame one-by-one with QT Player and then reading them back into QT PLayer with a different frame rate. This involves quite a bit of time and disk space.

You should try out the demo of Twixtor, and do a comparison test with Twixtor using 60p and 24p shoots. But as you suggested, as a general rule: more frames and less motion blur will give better results.
