new Twixtor broken?

[Pierre Jasmin]

Can you confirm if this is Premiere 9.0.2?
Did you apply Pro or Regular version?

Perhaps ping us at tech support @ revisionfx dot com
so we can follow-up

After more tinkering this afternoon I’m realizing that my problem – twixtor not working / only getting a still image – occurs when the speed is set to a negative value, otherwise things seem to work fine.

I’m using the regular version of Twixtor on the latest Premiere Pro – I can’t check the number – but I will! – as I’m away from that computer at the moment…

Yes negative value goes backward, so that only works from a point in clip – as on second frame otherwise you are already out of range

To add to what Pierre said, from the manual:

Note on negative speed: A Speed% of -100.00 does not simply flip the original sequence so that it plays backwards starting at frame 0. Imagine the play head on your clip. If you are at the beginning of the clip and you tell the machine (Twixtor in this case) to start playing backward, then there’s nothing before the clip starting position to play. That’s why you will not see a result with a negative speed as the first keyframe. If you play the clip at 100% for a while, then put in a –30% keyframe (or other negative value) at the place where you want to start playing backward you will see proper results.
