RE:Vision Effects Inc. announced 64-bit support of its Irix Discreet systems (Sparks) versions of Twixtor, its popular retiming solution, and ReelSmart Motion Blur, which adds and removes motion blur based on per-pixel calculated motion. The new releases also work within the Linux versions of Smoke and Flint and are available for Burn render farms.
Nick Brooks, Academy Award and Emmy Award winner for visual effects, said, "Twixtor 4.5 represents a new touchstone in retiming. The difference in accuracy means that retiming artifacts are either drastically reduced or disappear on the hardest to retime footage."
New features include:* 64-bit support for Discreet systems (Flint, Flame, Fire, Inferno and Smoke) for the Irix operating system.* Users must make sure that they update their Burn plug-ins of Twixtor and RSMB when updating to the new versions now available.
Twixtor Sparks licenses are priced at $795. Burn render licenses are priced at $198.75. RSMB Sparks licenses are priced at $189.95. Burn render license are priced at $53.99. Current licensees of the Twixtor Sparks version 4 and RSMB Sparks version 3 may update to the new version with both 32 and 64-bit Irix support for free.
Now available for 64-bit Discreet systems and continues to be available for 32 bit Irix versions Flint, Flame, Fire, Inferno and Smoke and on Linux for Smoke, Fire and Burn.
Twixtor and ReelSmart Motion Blur also continue to be available for Apple Shake and Final Cut Pro, Avid editing systems, Autodesk Combustion, Eyeon Digital Fusion, Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro, Quantel systems and others.
