    The Warp Stabilizer was I think fully developed by Adobe where the optical flow time-remapping in AE is a licensed product. I would imagine Adobe could figure something self-owned out like that have with the new 3D-tracker. That said, they are still licensing Mocha as well for a good reason.

    Wow, thanks for the info! I really liked FCPX for skateboard videos because I pretty much use variable speed change on every clip so I might use FCPX for this

    When I used FCPX for slow-mo, I first batch conformed all my clips from 60p to 24p using cinema tools. Should I still use Cinema Tools to conform first if I’m using Adobe? Is there anything in Adobe that will conform footage to 24p?

    What’s the deal with Smoke? I’ve looked into FCP Avid and Adobe.. is autodesk something to seriously consider? I guess all the jobs I look into use Adobe, FCP7 or Avid, but now I’m curious. Is Smoke up and coming?

    Very hard to say. It appears to me Smoke is still searching it’s destiny on the market.

    If you are a quality junkie 🙂 then Smoke is simply the fulfillment of your dreams!
    Scaling, de-interlacing, noise reduction, tracking… all of the finest and adjustable.
    Editing and Compositing well integrated into one app. Currently no Color Grading! (Hope this one changes.) Currently restricted to AJA hardware (Kona3G, IoXT).

    But if you are searching for a NLE primary for, well, EDITING,
    I would suggest you test it yourself if it fulfills your demands.
    Smoke2013 is currently in open beta status and so long it is for free.

    Best regards,
    Bernhard

    No need to batch conform, you just control click on the footage from within PP and choose Modify/Interpret footage to change your frame rate. Simple.

    No need to do this for FCPX. Drop your 60fps clips into a 24fps Timeline, select them all and choose Conform Speed from the ReTime menu.
