Slow motion in FCPX disappointing
I'm extremely disappointed in the retiming in FCPX and Motion 5! I have a simple shot of a dog jumping over a fence and I have tried all the retiming tools in both FCPX and Motion 5 and the results are unacceptable. I've tried normal, frame blending and optical flow. With normal and frame blending, the video in the timeline plays ok once or twice and then gets jerky or psychedelic. With optical flow, the motion is smooth but it looks like someone on an LSD trip. I also tried everything in Motion 5 from behaviors to keyframes, using the program's various blending options and the results are similar to FCPX and unacceptable. Even if it's playing ok in the timeline, it still looks aweful when exported with Export Media with Current Settings.
Out of frustration, I went into Premier CS6 and used their simple retiming tools and find the results are acceptable.
Overall, I'm very happy with FCPX and use it for most of my editing but now it looks like I have to open up Premier to get acceptable retiming.
Anyone else have these problems? Any FCPX solutions other than paying $$$ for Twixtor?
