Twixtor Pro Keyframes not making any difference AE6
We’ve been using twixtor here to slow a shot down to 50% of it’s original speed and getting a few issues on a certain shot with vertical railings.
We’ve tried keyframing these (whilst in Source mode and using don’t use / main_bg_layer keyframes where appropriate), but the results seem to be exactly the same keyframed or non-keyframed. Is there something we are doing wrong?
Any advice would be gratefully received.

Are the railings going behind, or close to, a foreground object or person?
If so, then you’ll probably ned to create a matte for the foreground person, and ALSO use points or splines (what AE calls masks). AE’s masks might be more appropriate here, because you can tell twixtor to track the whole length of the railing and not just one spot. This is because when the railings go out of view (or into view) it’s very difficult for Twixtor to figure out which part of which railing corresponds to the proper railing.
We do have tutorials for how to use a matte for better foreground/background separate tracking
If the railing is in the BACKGROUND, you’ll still want to use.
We don’t have a tutorial for splines yet, but we do have sample projects on our help site here https://help.revisionfx.com/tutorial/49/ (make sure to read the README after you download the projects). Make sure to read the manual section first (The manual was installed upon your disk when you installed Twixtor, in the same directory with the plugins in the /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/CS6/MediaCore/Twixtor5 folder).
The examples aren’t tutorials per se, but examples of how a properly set up project would look like. There are very simplistic examples with mattes and points, mattes and splines, and then a very complicated example with several foreground mattes and splines AND points.

Hard to say without seeing images but this could also be of interest to you:

Thanks for your feedback Peter and Piere. Peter, I’ve sent you a mail via your RE:Vision Effects email. Almost there.
