View Full Version : Frame blending problems

So i got this jpeg-sequence that i interpreted as 10fps, i dragged it onto my 25fps composition, switched on the advanced frame blending. When i render it to uncompressed avi the animation gets all jerked as shown in the example below. The thing is that it looks great when i do a ram preview from within AE. Any ideas?

i'm using After effects 7.0

Have you set frame blending on in the render dialog?

Yes, im sure it is processing frame blending because with it turned off, it looks just like the source material in 10fps.

Also, if i instead of interpreting the source jpeg-sequence as 10fps, use it as a 25fps sequence, time-strech that and do the frame blending from there, it looks ok.

so the problem is narrowed down to specifically when i use frame blending with a sequence with a lower fps than the composition, rather than time-streching.

anyone familiar with any of these problems?

You're introducing an odd number of frames similar to what you do when you create pulldown. Unfortunately this sometimes breaks optical flow anlysis. A better way of controlling such behavior would be using the Timewarp effect. It's more sophisticated and you can animate the stretch amount with slight variations in the critical areas.

Yes, im getting used to the timewarp effect now. One function is missing in that effect for me though. I want my clip to stretch to about 200%, timewarp will only warp time within the length of the clip it seems, right?

so if i rephrase from zero again; What is the smartest procedure to slow down a clip, then work with pixelmotion for interpolation? (preferably including timewarp effect since it has all those useful parameters)

thanks for the help
