slow motion
What plug-in do you use for slowing down video in FCP? I use twixtor 4.5 ant the quality is perfect, but the problem is that I can’t see a result in real time. If it’s one clip, it’s ok, but if I need make slow motion for ten or more clips, it takes a lot of time to render that I could see how it looks. The quality of speed control in FCP doesn’t meet my requirements.
Thank’s a lot.

If its more than just a simple rate change, I will usually do any retiming in motion.
Generally i will switch on the optical flow and get the painfully slow (on my meager system at least) analysis to begin from the start.
I can do all the retiming work while it works all that out and bring it all back into fcp when properly baked.
If the clip to be retimed is part of a larger file, I would recommend either recapturing just that clip or exporting it to work on. It will bring down your optical flow analysis time hugely.
I’ve demo’d twixtor, and was very impressed, but for the most part it looks like breaking a walnut with a sledgehammer. I look forward to the day optical flow in built into fcp.

I don’t know what you wanted to say, but my workstation isn’t laptop. It’s Mac Pro with 2×2.8 Ghz Quad core intel xeon procesors, 8 Gb RAM + G-Tech RAID5. I’m complaining because I can’t see the result in real time. The quality of preview can be poor, but I want to know where I can make a cut and feel a dynamic of the clip. Later rendering can last forever.

Slow down. Why do you sugest me to buy other HW and SW if I was asking for FCP plug-in, which could work great like twixtor and could see real time preview like with built-in FCP speed control. It there is no such a plug-in, you could just write it, but there is no need to be ironic.

…”The quality of speed control in FCP doesn’t meet my requirements…”
Not trying to speak for Dave,
but I think he may be speaking for a lot of us;
he knows what incredible leaps have been made in editing systems
from the way, until quite recently, it used to be.
It is hard to watch people who somehow expect everything ‘now’,
complain about what for most of us is an unheard of level of functionality
in our NLE’s…just a guess.
