is there a good speedramp plugin ?

[Peter Ralph]

any effect becomes tacky as soon as it becomes simple to create. Remember how quickly the shine plugin sent the shine effect from cool to hack?

effects are best left for ads/music vids/network TV bumpers which have a life of a few weeks.

You can try the “Time Ramper” of the Joe’s Plugins.

another option is Realviz’s ReTimer SD/HD/Pro

… but I’m with the other’s, speed ramps stopped being cool or clever about 5 years ago.

When the promos departmnet in my last company went FCP some years back it was the single most often used monstrosity that was regurgitated over and over again … and every single “editor” that did it thought they were the bees knees. yuk. That said, creative people with a bit of panache and vision can often find new and interesting ways to weave an “old” effect into something special … so if thats you, then have at it!

have none of you tried this workflow?

create the timeremapping keyframes in fcp

send clip to motion

in the speed properties of the clip go in and change to optical flow

watch it take ages to retime using shake style optical flow with spinning wheel next to transport controls based on full length of original captured clip

remember to set the optical flow folder as well in motion’s preferences

and always remember clips get longer or shorter based on speed changes, leave that space.

yes there is always going to be issues with deinterlacing footage before applying such effects, it will always take ages and feildskit is best bet.
However why not use the frame controls tab of Compressor, set fields interpolation to progressive (tweak the antialiasing .. on drop downs if someone has better explanation of this bit in Compressor help me here) and then FCP does everything you are after.

FCP suite now does quality optical flow, start using it for time remapping.
