Kevin,

3 years later, I’ve found your post to be incredibly helpful. I got some 10fps spinning CAD renders from a client and wanted to smooth them out. Using the timewarp method worked marvelously.

Thanks very much!

Dave,

That’s probably the most prudent advice. My mistake in production is certainly causing more of a headache in post than I imagined.

I managed to get a better track in Mocha by using the B-spline tool and doing a tighter bezier shape around one of the more stable drawings. I also ticked the “small motion” tag which kept it looking for more subtle motions (3 pixels or so according to the manual).

I know I’m a little late on this, but if you enjoy things the simple way:

1. Open Adobe Media Encoder
2. Select the sequences you want in PP
3. Drag them into the AME queue.

Bam. Done.

If you have a PC available, create an intermediate file (I like ProResHQ) and move it over to the PC.

Use Microsoft Expression Encoder, which has a free option and is also extraordinarily powerful offering multipass, varied levels of VC-1 complexity, smart resizing, motion estimation and more.

If you love FREE as much as I do, this is a great solution.
