Frame Interpolation
These settings determine the default state for all retiming and speed change effects, including when
clips are in mixed frame rate timelines.
– Retime Process: This drop-down menu lets you choose a default method of processing clips
that don’t match the project frame rate in mixed frame rate timelines and clips with speed effects
(fast forward or slow motion) applied to them, throughout the project. Since each clip in every
timeline defaults to “Project Settings,” changing this setting will change the way most mixed frame
rate and speed effected clips will be processed, except for those with custom settings selected.
There are three options:
– Nearest: The most processor efficient and least sophisticated method of processing; frames
are either dropped for fast motion, or duplicated for slow motion.
– Frame Blend: Also processor efficient, but can produce smoother results; adjacent duplicated
frames are dissolved together to smooth out slow or fast motion effects. This option can
provide better results when Optical Flow displays unwanted artifacts.
– Optical Flow: The most processor intensive, but highest quality method of speed effect
processing. Using motion estimation, new frames are generated from the original source frames
to create slow or fast motion effects. The result can be exceptionally smooth when motion in a
clip is linear. However, two moving elements crossing in different directions or unpredictable
camera movement can cause unwanted artifacts.
– Motion estimation mode: When using mixed frame rate clips in a timeline that has Optical Flow
retiming enabled, when using Optical Flow to process speed change effects, or when using Image
Stabilization or Temporal Noise Reduction controls in the Color page, the Motion Estimation drop-
down of the Master Settings (in the Project Settings window) lets you choose options that control
the trade-off between speed and quality.
There are additional “Enhanced” Optical Flow settings available in the “Motion estimation mode”
drop-down in the Master Settings panel of the Project Settings. The “Standard Faster” and
“Standard Better” settings are the same options that have been available in previous versions of
DaVinci Resolve. They’re more processor-efficient and yield good quality that are suitable for most
situations. However, “Enhanced Faster” and “Enhanced Better” should yield superior results in
nearly every case where the standard options exhibit artifacts, at the expense of being more
computationally intensive, and thus slower on most systems.
New improved Motion estimation mode settings in the Master Settings panel of the Project Settings
– Motion range: When using mixed frame rate clips in a timeline that has Optical Flow retiming
selected, or when using Optical Flow to process speed change effects, this drop-down menu lets
you choose the default setting to use, small, medium or large motion, for all speed and motion
related calculations so you can try and improve the result by matching the type of motion in the
source media. This setting can also be changed on a clip by clip basis in the Edit page Inspector.
