Retime Outside Filein Node?

[user_deleted]

Hi!

I use to take advantadge of the superb "Advanced optical flow" in the FileIn Node, but what i'm working on now requires the time remap to be the last node of the tree, before the FileOut.

I didn't find a node to do that: TimeX has no Adaptive Retiming (pixel tracking for real frame interpolation, no blending).

Any idea of a workaroud? Any alternative or better option for the TimeX?

Thanks in advanced,

I'm noy sure if I understand your problem correctly, but for a thing like that I just fileOut the material and then fileIn again, using the retiming. Maybe there's some reason why that won't work for you? Anyway, best of luck.

Sure it does work, although it doesn't seem the best solution for me: i must render the fileout node, then import it as a FileIn and only then be able to play with it.

I use the Retiming to achieve some "real" Motion blur, first i slow it down, then i speed it up again blending the frames. With this method i have to render in between.

I also like the effect of the weird warps Shake does when doing extreme adaptive time remaps: i wanted to be able to tweak the previous processes without re-rendering see how they work:
The thing is i'm having problems because the retiming processes different the color and alpha channels and the result is uncompositable... And i wanted to see what the changes along the tree do to the time remapping

Well, I was just wondering if there was a node to do propper time remaps, if the only place is the FileIn node i'll cope with it.

Cheers!
