    if you want 4K shoot 30; not 24 fps, you'll be much better off with 3k 48fps than 2K 60fps, and also shoot with the lowest compression available for the resolution you choose.

    if it's just a single shot, you can do an extraordinary amount of triage to 'help' the algorithms of twixtor/kronos. if you have the budget to get a lot of that done, i'd probably just rent a phantom or an epic. watch some videos and play around with the software, do some tests to see what works and what doesn't. it is possible, and i've gotten decent results in my tests, however in some cases i've also gotten some pretty janky lookin' artifacts that have to be cleaned out. there ain't nothin like the real thing.

    You can get great results with twixtor under certain conditions.
    Make sure your moving subject isn't changing posture, it should rather be moving on a path – and make sure the background is uniform or you will get ugly artifacts where the moving subject is intercepting the background. And use a high shutterspeed

    Yeah, get sharp contours and a very soft background. You can add some motion blur later with RSMB from the same company as Twixtor.

    But don't expect too much – rather rent a higher speed camera. An Epic body doesn't cost an arm and a leg in rental these days.

    My Red is called Vertov after a Russian avantgarde filmmaker, a pioneer in modern cinematography, a true revolutionary who later suffered under Stalin's bureaucracy.
