Remap Parameters
If you select the Remap button in the reTiming parameter, the following additional
parameters appear:
• retimeMode: By default, you are given two options for frame blending:
• Nearest: No frame blending is applied, and Shake simply uses a copy of the nearest
available frame to fill the new in-between frames.
• Blend: Averages neighboring frames together to create in-between frames that are
a combination of both to soften the strobing effect that can result from slow
motion effects.
• Adaptive: An interpolation method for retiming that uses advanced image
processing to generate new in-between frames. This is the highest-quality method
for many images, and is the most processor-intensive. With the retimeMode
parameter set to Adaptive, two additional parameters appear to let you adjust the
trade-off between quality and processing time. For more information, see the
section on Adaptive parameters on page 120.
If the retimeMode parameter has been set to Blend, two additional parameters
appear underneath.
• weight: A gamma curve is applied to the mixture of source frames that are
blended together in order to create the in-between frame. A weight of 0 means
that each source frame needed to create the destination contributes equally, while
a higher gain, such as 2, causes the center frame to give the greatest contribution
and frames farther away proportionately less.
