OK, so you've seen the results of using the gopro with twixtor, now were going to delve into the guts of how to do it. The first video tut im going to post isnt made specifically for the gopro but the fundamentals are exactly the same. I will post the finished film first and then the breakdown of how the guys  achieved it using twixtor and just remember that because twixtor interpolates the footage, the result this guy gets on his finished project is amazing. Over the next few days I will add more to this post both in video content and some breakdowns of the key  do's and donts when using twixtor.

From the start, 'Twixtorizing' fire and water is an extremely hard thing to interpolate due to their unpredictability. However, I shall explain the main principles of Twixtor which you can apply to any video, and how to tidy up any unwanted warping.

Before you start, for best results use a shutter speed that will match your final framerate to avoid blurry slow motion. Also, use the highest framerate setting on your camera possible e.g. 60p, 60i or if you are using a 5D Mark II use 30p; The more frames Twixtor gets to play with, the better!

Hope you enjoy :)
