RE:Vision Effects is now shipping Twixtor 4.5 built to match Final Cut Pro's native FxPlug effects plug-in architecture.

Twixtor enables users to speed up or slow down image sequences. The software synthesizes new frames by warping and interpolating frames of the original sequence, calculating relevant motion for each individual pixel.

The existing After Effects-compatible version continues to work within Final Cut Pro, but the newly introduced FxPlug version can process images in 10 bit YUV (and greater bit depths, when supported). The After Effects-compatible version only works in 8 bits per channel within FCP, but can also run in After Effects, combustion and Premiere Pro. Note that 8 bit processing within the FxPlug version is significantly faster than the After Effects-compatible version, but 10 bit or full precision YUV processing takes longer than the 8 bit processing in order to take full advantage of the extra bit depth.

The FxPlug version runs within FCP 6.0.3 and up, while the After Effects-compatible version will run in any version of FCP from version 4.0 and up.

Apple is continuing to add new features for FxPlug plugins, and as such there are greater future opportunities for Twixtor within FCP in the FxPlug version. It is hoped to include Twixtor support for Motion and Final Cut Express in a future release.

FxPlug or After Effects-compatible Plugin costs $329.99 (regular) or $595 (pro).
