Ah, I was a bit unclear on what the Alt motion source was about, but that seems quite clear, thanks.

Basically, what I’m trying to research is this.

I’m working on a film restoration, and I have two copies of the same film. One looks great, but the film’s been broken and it’s missing a few frames here and there. The other is a poor multigeneration copy, but is complete.

Cutting the missing frames into the good copy looks very distracting, so I wondered if Twixtor could be used to create new frames using the poorer frames as reference – those frames of course having the exact geography required.

So it seems the answer’s no then, I need to draw on splines and stuff.

Thanks for the advice, I haven’t explored the PRO version features yet. I’m assuming then that this approach will give a result more like the original 10 frame sequence rather than a cross-fade?

What I’m really trying to get at with this test is, as the original video actually contains the ‘missing’ frames that Twixtor is trying to create, can I use this video to guide Twixtor without having to draw or animate stuff? ie: save myself a lot of time.

Can I manipulate the video in some way and use it as an Alt Motion Source? As I have it set up currently, Twixtor seems to be ignoring the Alt Motion Source, or is it just unable to read straight DV footage?

Is there any way I can capitalize on having the original source video?

Thanks guys for taking the time to reply.

It sounds like I need to investigate Shake or AE then if I want to combine luma and chroma channels from different sources.
