GH3 Incredible Slow Motion with GH3 & Twixtor!

It's nice to see a Twixtor example without some distortion going on.

I read on these forums on a post that for best results you need a shutter speed of 1000 for Twixtor is that correct?

It makes sense for Twixtor to be able to create the intermediate frames that it needs the sharpest possible image & a higher shutter speed will remove motion blur. Having said that this particular video was evidently shot in 1080 50 fps with a shutter of 1/50 or 1/100.

While I agree this is a nice example, I can't help noticing the "dancing" grill lines at 1:06 (on the right of the top panel). Smoke + rigid lines + twixtor is often quite problematic.

Hah ha, I was watching the bottom part of the picture, you're quite right.

Scrub that, I'm still waiting for a good video using Twixtor without some distortion. :cry::badputer:
 
Nah, I'd rather just see slo-mo *without* twixtor.
Nothing like high frame rates native in camera.
 
Not to mention that absolutely nobody outside of camera geeks would notice any of the artifacts. We have come a long way since slowing down video on the NLE. This doesn't look half bad. Obviously real overcrank will always look best, but this is not bad by any stretch of the word, and it was not even shot with the proper shutter speed.
 
Thing that amazes me is that you can get this kind of quality now for such a small price. While I'd love to have a Phantom camera, I'd never be able to get enough use out of it to justify the price. And renting a Phantom is at least $2K. I can get (well, assuming I can find!) a GH3 and the software for less.
