I have used twixtor myself for a few projects but I have never had terrific success with it. One of the best filmmakers I know who uses Twixtor really well is my friend Salomon Ligthelm, whom I met when he lived in Dubai back in January last year. He put up a new video a couple of days ago, Gravity, and he was kind enough to write this guest blog post on how to get the best out of it.

Twixtor will not give you as good results as a dedicated high speed camera of course. They do that job incredibly well. You need to light a lot to make them work but as you will read below you need to do the same with twixtor to get the high shutter speeds needed. But for those whose budget means renting a Phantom Flex or something similar is out of the question Salomon guides you through the best ways to make the most out this powerful, but tricky plug-in.

I guess with every project the approach is somewhat different. When Twixtor becomes a part of my workflow I need to become increasingly more aware of the way I am shooting so that I have workable footage in post.

This is a great guest blog post, the video is great too.
I love when you post tutorial stuff up here it is awesome to see something done but even more awesome to see how.
Thank yous all around.

I want to accomplish smoother playback, a la "soap opera" style I have this beautiful scenery shot in 24p years ago, and I'd like to to see how it looks on my new projector that I've got in 60fps. Normaly I would go the other way around since 23,976fps is the ultimate cinematic framerate (according to me), so basically this is just testing.

I thought 30fps would be easy to convert to 60fps but I'm getting double frames every 4-5 frames or so. My idea with the 30fps material was to drag the clip in to a new comp > double the clip > make a new sequence out of that, slowing that down by 50% using twixtor and then import that sequence in to a new 60fps sequence. It "sort of" worked, but it got choppy not to fluid as I wanted to.

I'm not sure that's possible, though. Even when my BD player adds the 'missing frames' to turn 24p content into the 60p signal my TV receives, it still looks like film. I suspect for that video look, you will need to have shot it at the higher frame rate originally.

No not necissarliy, "smooth video enthusiasts" use this method a lot, check the SVP link I posted in my previous post I would never assault a good film with this method, but for a test I'm curious to see what it looks like!

Tnx, this was exacly what I was looking for Basically I did exacly as the tutorial, except I changed the sequence settings to 60fps instead of interpret the footage. What is the difference in changing sequence settings and interpret the footage?

The typical, recommended workflow would be to set the sequence to the desired final output frame rate. Then, change interpret frame rate of a clip from (typically) real-time, to a new speed, that will play out each individual frame, no skips and no duplicates, at the new frame rate. If you change the framerate interpretation of a 23.976 fps clip to 59.94 it will speed it up to 250% of normal/realtime. If you then drop it into a 59.94 sequence and add Twixtor, you would need to tell Twixtor to slow down the footage to 40% in order to get back to real time.

In Premiere, interpret frame rate changes the playback speed of the clip. Using a sequence with frame rate different from the clip, will retain the original speed of the clip and duplicate or remove frames as necessary to meet the new frame rate.
