that was super sick dude. my main critique would be make sure you're shooting with a high shutter speed, since it definitely looks like a bright enough day to do so.

:11 was the sickest shot in the edit for sure. I noticed a lot of blur in some of the shots. Like soulcrew stated, crank up the shutter speed. On a super sunny day, I normally shoot at around 1/1000 when i know i'm using twixtor.

How did you convert it to be widescreen but maintain the same aspect ratio?

MPG Streamclip.

I cropped 50 pixels off the top and 50 off the bottom.

I love the way it came out.

Looks really nice. Great edit btw too. Probably too much slowmo for a regular edit but for a twixtor test it came out well. Only noticed small amounts of morphing and I was looking for it.

Yeah, I've just noticed that sometimes it really helps with the motion blur. One other thing many forget to do including my self is to change the setting in twixtor from 29.97 to 59.97 since thats what you most likely were shooting in. That will help it smooth out sooooo much as well.

Shutter speed is my only comment. It looks blurry in some cases, which could be super smooth with a higher rate

? I guess it looked cool but it was horribly over exposed...


my advice is to crank up the shutter, it will do good, twixtor or not
