FAKING Slow Motion with OPTICAL FLOW - DaVinci Resolve TUTORIAL

00:00 Introduction
00:30 Optical Flow
02:39 Additional Examples
03:58 Conclusion

You want slow motion... but you didn't shoot slow motion! Don't worry, optical flow can help. This video shows you how to use frame interpolation one shots that you have slowed down so that they playback smoothly.

It's worth stating that slowing to 25% is pretty extreme. And optimistic! I wouldn't normally recommend less than 50% - and your results will tend to be better, too.

Try combining optical flow and speed warp. It will add missing frame rates and give super smooth, slow motion. The downside is that it took longer to render (even with render in place)

[ikestrom]

Well explained. For shots with visual artifacts you can also try "Motion Estimation > Speed Warp". It can be much slower to render because it's more computationally intensive, but the results are usually much better.

Hi from Puerto Rico, this lady always find the way, for me to learn something new, even if alredy know about it and keep my attention, Thanks for your tips.

[garfieldirwin]

Excellent summary on optical flow use -- confirms what I have discovered empirically, but it's nice to know I haven't missed anything. Subbed.

[donnytheflow]

Thanks for this explainer video! I'd use it more for dramatic/creative.dream like effect rather than viable slow mo but in any case, super helpful to know about.

More content!! This is all gold, cant wait for the paid course to release

[dingpongcrate]

Have used optical flow. it's not as smooth. Next vidoe clip i'll change it to 60fps. make it whole lot easier, thx for the tips. like it.

I also have used this combined with speed warp to put a video in a desired frame rate (a 23.97 fps to 30fps timeline)

In My opinion, optical flow inherit the same motion blur from the original footage. Therefore, unless the original one already has high shutter speed, the slowed speed will not look "naturally blurred".

[Kamikaze]

Would adding slight additional motion blur help hide the artifacts? Mind you I’m an amateur, so if that’s a silly question, you know why. Thanks for the tutorial, just what I needed.

[JoshWhiton]

What if we shot in 60fps and we're just slowing down 50% to 30fps on a 30fps timeline. Then there shouldn't be any need for Optical Flow, correct? Will the 'nearest' setting just drop every other frame and deliver the smoothest slow motion possible?

[poletkolibri]

How can I blur a video shot at a high exposure speed and remove the strobing effect?

[richardsontwain]

Changing the Motion Estimation to Speed Warp will help, but, slowing down to 25% is extreme.

[pradachan]

like can we convert 24fps to 60 in davinci without altering video speed?
