You might try our RE:FLex for AE, which allows you to deform images using free-form splines.
Demo version here (make sure to read the short manual): https://www.revisionfx.com/products/reflex/
Click on “Downloads” to get to the demo installer.Pete Litwinowicz

[Aaron Neitz] “Just be aware that it WON’T ever look like it was shot in 23.98. 60fps plus a higher shutter speed gives you that “soap opera” look
“As pointed out, if you shoot at a higher shutter speed than you like, you can simulate a longer shutter speed with our ReelSmart Motion Blur. It trackes the pixels in the scene and adds motion blur based on calculated motion. Just FYI. https://www.revisionfx.com/products/rsmb/
So my real addition is this: This also great if you need to shoot at a higher shutter speed to get a better key when shooting green screen footage… and then you can add a simulated motion blur back in after you pull your key.
Just my 2 cents.

It sounds like you have a potential solution… but this also sounds like a perfect job for our RE:Fill product. You tell us where the bad pixel is via black and white matte, and we’ll fill in those pixels with info from surrounding pixels. https://www.revisionfx.com/products/refill/overview/
Note that CC WIre Removal that comes with AE only works in 8 bits, while ours works in 16 bit and floating point. Also, RE:Fill allows you to fill in the pixels with a blend of surrounding pixels, not just offset pixels (of course, displaced pixels might be better in some circumstances, and we can do that too).
WHy don’t you try the demo? https://www.revisionfx.com/products/refill/downloads/

OUr FieldsKit product ($89.95) has a plugin that allows you to animate the cadence at the cadence changes. You have to manually add keyframes for the cadences, but it’s better than cutting the clip up, reimporting into AE, removing pulldown and gluing back together.
And you’ll get a great deinterlacer too.
Why don’t you try the demo: https://www.revisionfx.com/products/fieldskit/downloads/#ae_compatible_6

What is the date on the installer you have? I realized that I did not have the correct Microsoft runtime libraries the first time I made the installers. The date should be May 14, 2010.
If the date on your Twixtor installer is before that, please download the latest version and reinstall.
ALso I see that you said you have Twixtor 4.5 key, then are you using the Twixtor 5 installer and just running in demo mode?

Also, I can vouch for CS5’s effectiveness in the multiple processes area. Some really huge bottlenecks in the “talking” between the multiple processes have been addresses and sped up immensely.
What does it matter if it’s multiple threads or multiple processes? What you really care about is speed in processing, right? In pre-CS5 days, their was a larger amount of interprocess “I/O” that slowed things down (at least with respect to the plugins we make). With CS5 we are seeing that projects with our plugins are sometimes are up to 5 to 7 times faster over our old plugins within CS4 (I was testing on an 8 processor machine with lots of RAM, FYI). Part of that speedup is due to some heavy optimization we have done in our new yet-to-be released plugins (which we expect to be releasing sometime in the second week of May), which will benefit pre-CS5 users as well (the update pricing will be announced when the plugins are available). But when coupled with CS5’s much better multiple-frame-at-same-time processing, the speed increases are truly eye opening.
Just my 2 cents.

The FxPlugs live in /Library/Plug-ins/FxPlug . Delete the Twixtor folder you find there.
Note that Spotlight doesn’t search the /Library directory by default, which is why your search did not find it.
