SpeedWarp
High-quality retiming and temporal interpolation
Changes playback speed using temporal interpolation, with separate controls for speed, frame delay and calculation quality.
SpeedWarp
Overview
What SpeedWarp does
Speed controls the temporal rate while Delay offsets which moment is sampled. Mode trades processing speed against higher-quality interpolation.
The hardest material for any optical-flow-based retime includes occlusion, crossing limbs, hair, water, smoke, flashing lights and fine repeating textures. Those areas should be inspected frame by frame.
For an efficient workflow, work in the faster mode during timing and switch to the higher-quality mode for final evaluation and render.
