That did it. All is good. (And yes, this was with After Effects. In the earlier post, I was referring to the PP project that you attached to your post, which worked for me. Sorry for the confusion.)

Again, thanks for your help, and for making such a terrific product.

Pierre,

I created a short test project and couldn’t reproduce the problem. Then I went back to my original project and looked more closely. Many of the ‘mark segments’ keyframes were between two frames. I believe this happened when I took that sequence (the middle sequence of the three nests) and converted it from 24 fps to 18 fps. Very strange to see a keyframe in the middle of a frame. In any event, I went through all the keyframes and moved them to frame boundaries and I believe that has fixed the problem. I am exporting the whole thing and checking.

Again — many thanks for your help,
Steve

Pierre,
Yes, the sample project works for me in Premiere.

I will create something and send it to your attention at techsupport@revisionfx.com.

Unfortunately, the media is a tiff sequence, so I don’t know if I can get it small enough to email. We’ll see.

Thanks —
Steve

Pierre,
Just tried it and did not have success.

1. 18 fps cut sequence, call this V1
2. nest V1 into V2, also set 18 fps. Apply Twixtor. In Twixtor, set 18 fps input frame rate and 100% speed. Mark cuts.
3. Nest V2 into V3, set to 24 fps. Cuts still have same artifacts.

Any suggestions?

Thanks again,
Steve

Pierre,

I want to do much the same thing in AE and am running into a strange problem.

I’ve put together material transferred from 8mm home movies — it’s a tiff sequence that I’m treating as an 18 fps clip. Many, many cuts, thus many, many layers in the AE comp. (Should have done it in PP, but with 165 edits and color correction on each one, I’m not eager to start over.)

Composition plays fine at 18 fps. But the slow frame rate is distracting. So I nested the whole thing into another comp at 24 fps. I apply Twixtor to the single clip in that comp, set the input frame rate to 18 to match the nested material, and set 100% speed. This plays way smoother than at 18 fps with very few artifacts (amazing — thank you). But there are artifacts at the cuts. So I set the display to source, keyframe all the cuts, and set back to twixtored output.

But it doesn’t work. The cuts are marked correctly, but Twixtor still creates artifacts over the cuts.

What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks for producing such great software and for being so generous with your time here.
