Good re-timer software?

[franck]

Looking into purchasing a good retiming program to go with Final Cut or independent of it.
Any of you have some experience with a sub-$1000 version?
Thanks.....

ive used it on numerous things and although its not nearly as sophisticated as something like Re timer pro or twixtor. it can give you some really good results with basic application .. and its only 50.00.. ive been happy with it for alot of basic project usage.

It looks like it does the trick for incredibly cheap. But it's PC based, right?

 

[Neil Rowe]

correct. unles theres a mac version im unaware of.

I've only used ReTimer myself, and it's results are quite outstanding - takes a little to get used to, as you have embed comps/sequences to retime clips, but you get used to it. The SD version is $400, and the HD version is $900. Neither are cheap - but I think they offer more the Twixor or ReelSmartMotionBlur as ReTimer is essentially both these tools in one.
Might be wrong though as I don't own either plugins from RevisionFX. Was trying to find someone myself who'd used both ReTimer and ReelSmart... any takers?
--EDIT--
Forgot to mention too, ReTimer works in AE, Combustion and FCP - no need to buy multiple versions. Huge plus in my book as I use all three.

Duff, you can download demo versions for both Twixtor and MotionBlur. I've tried the first one and I'm planning on getting it, once I have 600$ laying around. It *is* that good, just try it.

nice - thanks, I will!

So can you use it as a sort of plug-in to fcp?
I'm really not familiar with AE, and feel too lazy to learn it. So if ReTimer is fairly simple and doesnt need AE, looks like a good option for me.

 

[Duffdaddy]

yes, it is a plugin - but just as simple or complex as any filter in FCP.

sweet thanks

..agreed, if you have thcash to spend.. retimer Pro would be the way to go.

actually someone made the point in the AE thread that none of the other slo-mo tools can also remap audio. Never noticed it myself in ReTimer as I've never worried about audio - my slo-mo has always been to a V/O or soundtrack. So if you need to remap your audio too, AE apparently is your only option.
