Smartphones record in Variable Frame Rate (VFR), causing editing stutters and audio desync. Twixtor 8.1 Standalone fixes this by converting VFR to a smooth Constant Frame Rate (CFR).

How it works:

-Optical Flow & ML: Synthesizes perfect frames between uneven intervals.

-Flawless Audio: Eliminates track drifting and sync issues completely.

-Speed…

Greetings CowPokes – is there a way to get the mask mode selection via Expression?
maskModes exists for the scripting API but there doesn’t seem to be one for Expressions. I tried the propertyGroup() way but either it’s not possible or I’m not doing it right.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Bestest!

I wanted to thank this community, which I joined 10-15 years ago. This is exactly what I wanted. It worked perfectly. Thank you.

Just stopping in to say Hi!
The Audio Forum is still not dead yet.

Ty Ford

Thank you, Brie!

13 years later this post is still helping folks out. Thanks again!

Went looking for this in 2025 and find 2018 me answering my own question. Thank you, young me.

Woah, apparently the answer was on the surface.. thank you for bringing it up, Dan!
I remember reading about it in the manual, wondered the real application, seldom saw it mentioned in tutorials. Copilot was none the wiser.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Master!

I have a partial answer. The speed of the external drive is CRITICAL. I purchased a Buffalo 500 Gigabyte SSD with integral usb. It’s physically bigger than a flash drive but ideally faster than one. It awkwardly hangs off the IPhone usb c connector with a USB A to C adapter. They claim “up to 600 MBps”. In my single recording (5 minutes) so far w…

Hi,

Is there a way to convert a Final Cut Pro XML into a readable file that you can open in Microsoft Excel for example? As a documentary editor I get asked all the time from production managers for timecode information on music tracks or archive clips. In Avid you can export an edl with this info. The equivalent in FCP would be really useful… Read more

Recently, whenever I’ve struggled with keying, I’ve found that rotobrush solves the problem for me. Combined with Key Cleaner and Advanced Spill Suppressor, it’s given me a better key. No good for hair of course, but that’s not something you’re worrying about with your shot.

Thank you

Yes, so probably like this:

tStart = inPoint;
dur = .75;
delay = .25;
t1 = tStart + delay*(thisProperty.propertyGroup(3).numProperties - thisProperty.propertyGroup(2).propertyIndex);
t2 = t1 + dur;
linear(time,t1,t2,0,100)

Appreciate it mate! I reckon I don’t entirely understand it yet, but I’ll def give it try!

Hi,

You can use Command Drag or Control Drag on a Mac or a PC and select those edit points without moving the playhead.

I’m trying to import video clips that I filmed in the Sims 2 into Sony Vegas Pro 18 but it’s not letting me drag & drop them into the timeline at all. It isn’t giving me an error message, it just simply isn’t letting me drag & drop the clips into the timeline.

I believe this is caused by a codec error.

the clips worked on earlier versions of… Read more

I greatly appreciate it, Andrei.

I’ve sent you the details and will hopefully send a fuller post as I complete this learning.

Just wanted to say thanks for the suggestions. I’m having a lot of fun with it.

Hey Kevin,

I don’t know, sorry. As I already have the full package as part of Continuum.

But, depending on the shapes that you are flying with, you might be able to pull a key on the background.
Not sure if the project is portable, but you might be able to do a one month rental when exporting and do it at that point.

I’m working on PPro today, and…

Are you animating the photos by moving them on their z axis?

WOW awesome ….. !!!!!

I’ve already managed to do it, thanks… but after I’ve made my model with VolumeBuilder… how do I make it editable in polygons?

I am trying to test the new Connector object with Voronoi Fracture to get something like in the documentation image I uploaded.

I want to test the break property with mograph selection to only have breaking of the connector pieces of the voronoi fracture on certain parts, either using a mograph selection tag or a field.

However, neither… Read more

Hi Matt,

Click on the material then click on Viewport at the top of the material attributes, then change the Texture Preview Size from default to a large size as you want. let me know if this works for you.

Thank you, Brie,

Always appreciate the gold coins 🤩

Hi Michael,

Picking up on this thread again as I’m facing another decision point.

I’m about to start editing and just re-assessing whether Premier Pro or Da Vinci Resolve Studio might be better suited to my project (feature doc I will edit from home).

I had decided on Da Vinci because of the price point but a friend has given me access to Premier…

I was able to convert the first file, but I had a problem with the second one.

I have never used Maya or Blender, but I might try… once again, thank you for your help. A thousand blessings.
