In this thread they made a reference to frameblending as a way to do slo-mo video in FinalCut Pro...

My questions are:
• What is frameblending?
• How do I do it?
• Is there any other way to control video playback speed (slow or fast motion)?

Hi,


Frameblending is the method that is used for s-m-o-o-o-t-h slow motion effects.

basically if you have a series of frames of video running at normal speed ie:


1, 2, 3, 4, 5


if you were to do a 50% slow motion without frame blending you would have:

1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4 , 5, 5 which results in a slight jerky effect.

with frame blending (which merges two frames to give an independent frame) is:

1, 1+2, 2, 2+3, 3, 3+4, 4, 4+5, 5


At least, this is what I think it means


Hope it helps,


Matthew
