  • Problem using Twixtor 4.5 with long source

    Hi, I ran into a problem with twixtor.

    If I have a 2 minute source clip and only want to slow down a small portion about half way into the clip… how would I do that?

    It seems that Twixtor always looks at the duration of the source material and ignores all “edits” that were done inside premiere. If for exaple I “remove” sec. 0-55 and 60-120 wiht the razor I have a short 5 sec part left. Once I apply twixtor on this part and change the speed to 50% it seems to apply the effect to the whole 2 minutes of source material and shifts everything according to the new speed around which actually “messes up” the 5 second part that i need.

    Is there any simple way around that?
    (I already tried to keyframe the speed parameter, but this somehow seems to make premiere extremely slow)

    Or how could I make Twixtor to handle the 5 second portion of the clip like if there would be nothing before or after… just like if the source would be only 5 secs long?

    A quick workaround would be to export the 0:05 clip in native format, and re-import it for the Twixtor treatment. Or maybe if the clip was on its own track? (just a guess- I only use Twixtor in Combustion)

    Thanks Jeff, your suggestion was actually my workaround in the past… but I was hoping there would be a better solution and that I just miss something obvious.

    But what about the clip being on it’s own track like you mentioned? What would be the difference?

    I doubt there would actually be a difference with the clip on a separate track. That being said, it’s something I would try & see. Bugs come from strange places…
