Has anyone come across or use any software that can extend the amount of frames with in reason? Similar to GooderVideo's SlowMotion...

I saw SlowMotion the other day and tried the demo, it works great except for it doesnt work with *.mov clips, only works with *.avi. Although the price is great I was wondering if anyone else used anything like that and could provide a link or two?

you generally don't want to work in mov or avi format when you are doing work liek that as it is compressed. Convert to frame sequence, do the retime, and convert it back when you are done.

Im allways using uncompressed mov files for my video clips. I was just looking for somethig to expand a clip by a few seconds without spending another several days re-rendering it.

Also Im not sure what you mean by convert to frames and retime it? All my renderings are initally saved to *.tga frames and then converted to an uncompressed *.mov to be imported in to vegas for editing.

wow, DAve, SloMotion actually worked...

I got the demo, and fed it a un-compressed AVI, and did a 3X slow motion on it.

I got the same results as Twixtor or Re-timer, for what it matters. That is some good results, but some major artifacts as well....

Still, SlowMotion is $30, Re-timer is over $1500....(but of course, it is a professional tool)...
