Why don’t fcp use Compressors slow technology
I have started to use compressor when I slow down clips. It is simply amazing. (If you haven’t tried. DO!). Any reason why FCP can’t slow down clips the same way ? (I know Motion can)
This is high up on my feature request for fcp 8.0.

I guess you mean you take, say, 60fps clips and slow them to 24 using compressor by making the source play slow? Some thing like that? CinemaTools can also achieve that.
Can you explain your method?

Thats call “Optic Flow’.
Few years ago that was one of the highlights of SHAKE.
Compressor and Motion inherited this technology.
I guess that the present architecture of FC doesn’t allow to implement it.
Hopefully in FC 7…

Rafael, how is it possible that FCP architecture allows Twixtor that does optical flow inside FCP?

I guess that some how FC uses a third part engine.
When you drop the clip in the Twixtor’s well you are more or less “sending to Twixtor” the clip.
The same happens with the Smoothcam.
FC manage to use some Mac OSX core engine that works out of FC.
All these workflows uses the GPU. The last Twixtor version (fxplug) takes advantage of those features and can works in 10b with FC.
Said that, just to add that I have no much idea about how all those things works. this is just what may intuitions tells me.
There are people around (Andy Mees for example) with a real knowledge about those matters. Sure he can informs you better than I.
Cheers,
rafael
