    They did a complete make-over of the website
    recently, so maybe the files/pages you’re looking
    for are buried somewhere.

    Each installer comes with a basic manual.
    Also, ask about the large (200MB+) html tutorial package
    that has host-specific notes (e.g. FCP, AE….)

    Have you checked out the online projects at :
    https://revisionfx.com/rstwixtortutorials.htm
    Also the FCP section of that big (200+MB)
    “Twixtor Basics” html tutorial.
    It covers this plus many topics.

  • No worries. Happens often when (re)installing/deleting/
    modifying plugins.
    It has to do with a ‘cache’ file that FCP maintains.
    Look for a file named FCP POA Cache.
    It should be in your ~/Library/Preferences/FCP User Data
    Delete it, and restart FCP.
    Should work.

    April 30, 2006 at 6:49 pm in reply to: Sony 24 Cineframe footage in Twixtor

    Right. I just happened to meet a couple of customers at NAB
    that had the exact problem. Just because the
    manufacturer has “24” somewhere in their cam(corder)
    spec does not mean the footage _is_ 24p or can
    be inversed (IVT’ed) to obtain 24p frames!

    That Cineframe24 mode is, as far as I can understand it,
    an ‘effect’ to mimic the 24p+3:2pulldown=60i effect,
    and if you try to do an inverse, you’ll get progressive frames
    that alternate between full resolution and half
    resolution, which is horrible.
    That’s because Cineframe throws out a field
    at appropriate places.
    Nothing like a true 3:2 pulldown, though it _looks_ like
    a real pulldown-added footage when it’s running at full speed.

    So the best solution would be, if you want to use
    Twixtor and other effects and need access to
    full resolution frames at all times, shoot in 60i.
    A combination of Fieldskit and Twixtor, though a bit
    slow, is quite useful for creating 24p output from
    60i/50i etc. In a pinch, you could skip the FK step
    completely, since Twixtor can deal with interlaced
    input and output progressive frame as well.

    Check out the big Twixtor tutorial on how to do this…

    Seriously, after 3 yrs of missing it,
    I swear I’ll make it this time around.

    maybe use an isolation mount or steadcam during a shoot?
