i saw a plugin call twixtor 4.5....it really works for giving the slow motion to a normal video??? i tried to get the tutorial but its to heavy...how these plugin works for slow motion ,etc??? :huh:
 
Twixtor is nice for slowing down progressive footage, which usually doesn't slow down as smooth as interlaced. And it works great for ramping the speed of a clip from fast to slow or slow to fast. AE 7.0 has a feature called time warp that does the same thing. Not sure if earlier versions of AE have it included. It is nice! I like!

AE7 is the first version to have this technology built in. Twixtor does however have some advanced features to help tweak out the output if you are getting undesired results (which I haven't found very helpful). If you have AE7, then I would pass on Twixtor. If you don't have AE7, then I would seriously think about getting it. Oh, and I believe you have to have the Pro version of AE7.
 
its not the same thing using Premier and reducing 50% of velocity??? i tried TWIXTOR and the slow motion its not too great, when i reduce 50% velocity the slow motion get too rude.
 
I've used Twixtor a lot recently, and I love it. IMHO, it's way better than the included timewarp in AE7.

If you are wondering why technically, toolfarm.com has a blurb about it on their twixtor plugin page (http://toolfarm.com/pluginfinder/index.php?Twixtor):

How does Twixtor compare to Timeblend in After Effects 7?

(Posted to the AE List by Peter Litwinowicz from Re:Vision Effects) Thought I¹d answer this with respect to Twixtor and AE 7's "pixel motion" setting (the time remap setting of AE 7 with no user settings) and its Timewarp filter (that allows you to tweak the settings for the retiming):

Twixtor is at least 2 times faster (against both AE's "pixel motion" setting for time remapping and the the Timewarp filter). Often Twixtor is even faster than 2x than the Timewarp plugin; it depends on the settings and whether or not you are adding motion blur upon speeding up a clip.
Twixtor has a feature that allows you to not generate inbetweened frames on either side of a cut edit in your source clip (and, for dissolves,Twixtor has a way to turn off the motion estimation for just the transition based on where the transition is located in the source).
Twixtor works in floating point (AEs "pixel motion" works in floating point, but the Timewarp filter with changeable settings does not).
Twixtor has the ability to remove motion blur upon slowing down footage. Timewarp will not remove motion blur; it only adds motion blur (a feature which Twixtor has as well).
Twixtor does frame rate conversion very simply and is built in to the
plugin. Pixel motion works as expected in this regard, but the Timewarp plugin assumes you will time-stretch the footage in a comp that's the same frame rate as your source (as far as I've been able to figure out). I presume you can do the time-stretch math yourself... Precomping and retiming in the original source frame-rate and then put that into a comp with the required output frame-rate... a bit more work for the workflow.

Twixtor Pro also has many features to help you fix problems when they occur in the tracking. Most notably, when the tracking goes ³bad², Twixtor allows you to use AE¹s splines (masks) and point positioners to show Twixtor exactly where things are moving from frame to frame. There are no corresponding features in Timewarp or AE's "pixel motion" setting.
