I recently shot a 30 minute timelapse for a client (not a typo, it's 45,000 photos). The client asked, after I delivered, if I could slow it down. Yikes.
(note: I did send the client several test clips to determine the speed they wanted before I started the project, they just decided, after delivery, that they wanted it slower)
I despaired, I was seriously worried that I wouldn't be able to do what they wanted, but...Premiere came through, and I'm quite amazed at what a good a job it did.
It was a simple process: right-click on the source movie, set speed to something slower (after testing, we decided that 60% of original speed looked good with the subject matter), set Time Interpolation to Optical Flow, and let it render (and render and render... ;-)
The quality is good enough that I may choose, in the future, to shoot at a higher rate and slow down in post (sometimes the shooting interval needed for a particular subject is too fast for my intervalometer or camera).
Just thought I'd give Optical Flow a shoutout.
Cheers!
