Smooth/Interlace is a plug-in that offers two solutions for reducing stuttering in slowed down clips. It aims to improve the smoothness of footage and enhance viewing experience.
Excessive slowdown of digital clips may also result in visible jerkiness, which can be addressed using the "smooth" algorithm offered by the plug-in. By blending two successive frames to reduce the apparent jerkiness, this processor makes the output look much more professional.
Users can also use this effect on specific parts of the clip to preserve the quality of still scenery. Smooth / Interlace is a useful plug-in when playing back a clip on analog equipment or when slowed down clips exhibit jerkiness.
Some of the key features of Smooth / Interlace include:
- Smoothing using blending algorithms that reduce jerkiness. Users control the amount of blending from 0% to 50%.
- Interlacing that intertwines half of the next frame with the current one, useful when a clip exhibits poor quality on analog equipment but appears well on digital.
- Smooth Interlace, which is a compromise that blends the interlaced picture with the current one. This option is ideal when creating a consistent video source for both analog and digital equipment. Users can control the blending amount from 0-100%.
To use this plug-in, you need iMovie. Smooth / Interlace is an excellent tool when you want your digital video to look good on analog equipment or when you slow a video clip and notice jerkiness.
