Animation help required

[Stephen Thomas]

I have rendered an 1800 frame flythrough animation but after viewing it it seems too fast. Does anyone know is there a way to slow it down without reducing the frame rate or re-rendering over a larger number of frames? Any software e.g. that can stretch it out over a longer time period and interpolate the frames in between?

 

I seem to remember that Windows Movie Maker has a feature to double the length of an avi file but not sure whether it remains as smooth after recompiling.

 

First post on the forum, any help gratefully received!

Ive used twixtor in Fusion which works really well, you can get it for loads of other apps too like AE, shake...

Realviz retimer is another one but ive never used it so cant comment on its performance.

Yes indeed, in Windows Movie Maker you can make longer the display of each image, resulting with a longer animation time

This isn't a complete solution, but it might help if combined with something else. Depending on how you are presenting it, you can always reduce the frames per second from 25 to 18 - 20 before losing too much quality. This will slow it down a bit. You'll have to fiddle with it though to ensure smooth play back. Adobe Premiere works well.

If you have individual frames then you can use max/viz ram player to adjust speed (usually comes out choppy though).

 

Most video editing programs will allow you to alter the length of a clip. Make your clip longer, plays back slower.

You can load the individual frames or an existing avi into Max's RAM Player.

 

Then just select the frame playback rate you want and output (or re-output) it as an avi file.

Thanks for the suggestions. Managed to get the use of Combustion 4 for the job using the timewarp feature which worked well using the blend option.

 

Cheers anyway!
