Fixed a bug where Twixtor could cause rendering to stop with no errors reported. This could happened when the source material's "in" and "out" points were trimmed within an After Effects or Premiere Pro, or the whole layer was moved to a starting time other than zero.
Version 4.5.10 | December 5, 2008
Fixed a bug where Twixtor could crash or hang Quantel generationQ.
Version 4.5.9 | October 10, 2008
Fxied a problem where Twixtor made Premiere Pro crash or hang
Added a new Warping Method, "Forward, no Smart Blend" in Twixtor Pro, see manual for details.
Version 4.5.8b | May 20, 2008
Added the ability for the installer to add an After Effects-compatible license for Twixtor if an FxPlug license was installed (Mac only). The plugin itself has remained the same, only the installer has been updated.
Version 4.5.8 | April 20, 2006
Fixed a problem on Windows where AE 7.0 won't quit if a project has Twixtor applied.
Added Intel support for Final Cut Pro. Read about limitations.
Version 4.5.7 | January 24, 2006
Fixed a bug that was crashing Final Cut Pro.
Version 4.5.6 | January 17, 2006
Added floating point image support for After Effects 7.0
On the Macintosh, make sure to delete the previous set of plugins for Twixtor in your plugins folder, because the name of the plugin files have been changed
On the Macintosh users will see a significant improvement on G5 CPUs running Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger).
Version 4.5.5 | October 11, 2005
Fixed a bug where the tracking could sometimes extremely poor, matching up images in a way where one would inappropriately go completely offscreen. This fix affects all the Twixtor and Twixtor Pro plugins (including the Motion Vector Create plugin included in Twixtor Pro).
Version 4.5.4 | September 16, 2005
Fixed a bug in Twixtor Pro that prevented spline guidance to be used from within combustion.
Fixed a bug where the tracking could sometimes extremely poor, matching up images in a way where one would inappropriately go completely offscreen.
Version 4.5.3 | August 15, 2005
Fixed a bug in the Twixtor Pro, Vectors In plugin where the Inverse warping mode was performed regardless (basically setting the Warping menud to Forward was ignored).
Version 4.5.2 | July 7, 2005
Fixed a problem in Twixtor Pro where InvMatteShrink values greater than zero caused some of the layers to go black when a sequence was retimed.
Fixed a problem with the Motion Vector Create plugin where black frames were created when "Image Track" was turned off and there was one or more foreground layers
Version 4.5.1 | March 22, 2005
Fixed a problem where render-only licenses worked in demo mode even when there was a valid license present.
Version 4.5 | March 11, 2005
Tracking completely rewritten from the ground up. Twixtor is much more accurate and exhibits fewer artifacts when there are objects crossing in the scene. (note that the "Crossing Objects?" checkbox of previous versions is gone because the new tracking in Twixtor 4.5 takes into account crossing objects to the best of its ability).
Added an option to automatically enhance dark imagery or imagery with poorly defined edges. In many cases, footage that was difficult to track becomes much more well-behaved upon retiming.
Added a smart blending option for pans and zooms to prevent inappropriate streaking.
Fixed a bug in Twixtor Pro where tracking points' "Use" settings were being retrieved at incorrect times. Now Twixtor correctly retrieves the "Use" parameter for each track point in the source timing (instead of the output Twixtor timing).
Fixed a bug in the Create Motion Vector plugin where spline's Layer setting could not be set to FG2 or FG3 (combustion problem only).
Because we've added new options in version 4.5:
You'll see that we've renamed the Twixtor 4.x and Twixtor Pro 4.x plugins as Twixtor 4.5 and Twixtor Pro 4.5. The new ones will show up in the applications as "Twixtor 4.5" and "Twixtor Pro 4.5." That way, your old projects will still run and load using the previous version of the two plugins (that way you don't have to worry about the new tracking in the new version screwing up older projects). The "Create Motion Vectors" and "Twixtor Pro 4, Vectors In" plugins remain the same and old plugins will use the new plugin, with the new features, once installed into the application's plugin folder.
Version 4.0.1 | January 28, 2005
Fixed a color problem some users were seeing when slowing down footage using a Motion Blur Compensation value greater than 0.0.
Fixed a potential crashing problem in Twixtor Pro when using Forward warping.
Version 4.0 | December 6, 2004
Better integration with host with respect to interlaced materail. What does this mean for you? It means you no longer set an "Output:Fields" setting for most hosts (in fact, this setting has been removed for most apps). Instead, Twixtor pays attention to the field rendering settings of the host to determine whether to create interlaced material or not. It also means that you no longer have to set the field interpretation on interlaced footage to None (however, you still have to tell Twixtor that you are giving it interlaced material).
Added render-only license pricing for After Effects and combustion.
Motion blur parameter renamed Motion Blur Compensation because it now controls the removal of motion blur as well as the addition of motion blur. This parameter now defaults to 0 instead of 0.5.
Regrouped the parameters so that they are divided into Input, Track and Output parameter groupings.
Stretching method renamed Time Remap Mode.
Speed/Frame settings greyed out in most hosts depending on the time remapping mode of Twixtor being used.
Ability to mark segments of your source material so that Twixtor does not interpolate inappropriately across cuts, dissolves and other transition.
Only need to set Output:Frame Rate in combustion (the parameter has been removed for all other hosts applications)
Only need to set Input:Frame Rate from within combustion and After Effects (the parameter has been removed for all other hosts applications).
After Effects only: Ability to retime audio and image sequences using After Effects time stretching and time-remap tools but using Twixtor frame interpolation methods.
Premiere Pro: Twixtor now works properly in Premiere Pro interlaced projects.
Motion vector export and import. For use in 16 bits-per-channel processing applications only.
Fixed a potential crashing bug from within combustion.
Of course, new features were added to Twixtor 4.0. For info on what is new in version 4 see the main Twixtor page and the manual that comes with the installer.
Because we've added new options in version 4.0:
You'll see that we've renamed the plugin, and that it will show up in the applications as "Twixtor 4.x" and "Twixtor Pro 4.x." That way, your old projects will still run and load (using pre-3.0 Twixtor).
