Optical Flow Retiming
When you retime footage, Motion stores the retiming files on your computer. The settings in this
section of the Cache pane specify the storage location.
•
Save Retiming Files: Two buttons that set the storage location of retimed footage:
•
In folder with source media: When enabled, this button tells Motion to save the retiming files
in the same location as the source footage.
•
In this folder: When enabled, this button sets a custom storage location. Click Choose, then
select a new location in the file dialog. By default, the Optical Flow folder is located in the /
Users/username/Library/Caches/com.apple.motionapp/Retiming Cache Files/ folder.
•
Delete Retiming Cache: A button that deletes any optical flow retiming files and resets any
objects with optical flow to frame blending. An alert dialog appears asking if you want to
remove all retiming files.
•
Reveal in Finder: A button that, when clicked, shows the location of the retimed file folder in
the Finder.
