Should I Use Frame Blending?

Select Use Frame Blending to

create smoother motion

by blending adjacent frames when output frame rate doesn’t match input frame rate. Smoother motion, yes.

Is frame blending better than optical flow?

Answer: A: Answer: A:

If you’re slowing down to 25% you’re better using Optical Flow

. With Frame Blending (as Karsten Schlüter said) you get a dissolve of two frames to make a third one (in between them).

How do you use frame blending?

  1. Select the layer in the Timeline panel.
  2. Do one of the following: Choose Layer > Frame Blending > Frame Mix. Choose Layer > Frame Blending > Pixel Motion.

Should I use optical flow?

Optical Flow interpolation is ideal for

modifying the speed of clips containing objects

with no motion blur that are moving in front of a mostly static background that contrasts highly with the object in motion.

Should I use frame Sampling or frame blending?


Frame Sampling repeats or removes frames as required

, to reach the desired speed. Frame Blending repeats frames, and it also blends between them as required, to help smooth out the motion.

What is maximum render quality?

Maximum Render Quality maximizes

the quality of motion in rendered clips and sequences

. Selecting this option often renders moving assets more sharply. At maximum quality, rendering takes more time, and uses more RAM than at the default normal quality. Select this option only on systems with sufficient RAM.

What is frame blending and optical flow?

Frame Blending does the same sort of thing, but

adds a blend between frames

. Optical Flow tries to create new frames where they are needed by looking at neighboring frames and trying to guess at what intermediary frames would look like.

What is frame blending for?

Frame Blending repeats frames, but it also

blends between them as needed to help smooth the motion

.” If you aren’t changing the frame rate during your export, leave this setting at “Frame Sampling.”

Why is my optical flow not rendering?

FCPx wont render ANY clips with Optical Flow

IF that clip has an auto Speed Ramp applied to it

… Remove the speed ramp and it works. FCPx will render optical flow if the clip is “just” retimed as a whole… But NOT if you have made an auto speed ramp from the Retime Menu… Above is a known and reported bug.

How does optical flow work?

Optical-flow methods are

based on computing estimates of the motion of the image intensities over time in a video

. The flow fields can then be analyzed to produce segmentations into regions, which might be associated with moving objects.

How do I enable frame blending AE?

Set frame blending for the composition by choosing Enable Frame Blending from the Timeline panel menu, or by clicking the

Enable

Frame Blending button at the top of the Timeline panel.

What is frame blending in Final Cut Pro?

The first method is called Frame Blending, and you can find it under the Retiming → Video Quality section of Final Cut Pro X. Frame Blending

creates new in-between frames, each a composite of two neighboring frames

, in order to reduce the stutter associated with the duplicate frames needed to slow down footage.
