For decades broadcasters have converted movies to NTSC video using three-two pull down, where each movie frame is converted to either three or two video fields in order to convert the 24 frame rate to the 60 field rate (well, actually 29.97 frames/second to 59.94 fields/second). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-two_pull_down https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-two_pull_down
How can the new smoothing conversion be worse than that?
- sbergot 7y agoMy issue with TV smoothing is that it is inconsistent. It can revert back to the original framerate when the scene is too complex.
- mrob 7y agoI agree that it's a problem, but a constant 24fps is also inconsistent in how much blur it produces. 24fps is fine for a static talking scene, but as soon as the camera moves everything turns blurry and jerky looking. That harms my immersion just as much as inconsistent motion smoothing.
- sbergot 7y agoI guess those things are subjective. I don't mind some motion blur the same way I don't like hand animation smears.
- ryanjshaw 7y agoThat is copying the original frames pixel for pixel. Motion smoothing involves interpolation heuristics (if you're lucky) between two original frames, creating an artificial frame that the film creator never intended nor vetted.
