Hmmmm... I'm watching fringe with this, and it's kinda weird... It seems like they're gliding, almost unnatural...

Hmm, I just checked out the beginning of the latest Fringe episode (just like dingo_d) and it's not something I like. It looks like a live 50fps tv-clip or a homemade 50fps movie. Takes away from the "movie/pro tv"-feeling. I don't like it. Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn! "The sky was the color of a TV tuned to a dead station" - Neuromancer

It's called the soap-opera effect.

Looks like shit.

Aaaah, that's what I was trying to remember, the soap-opera effect. Yes, it makes it look like an episode of "Emmerdale Farm" or "Days of our Lives". Laughing

it's pretty glitchy on liveaction footage, but the positive effect is huge on animated content just tried it with gits and it's so much smoother

Yeah, they've removed the FARM-part of the title. Still same crap that is STILL running. It's as old as I am, sending it's first episode the same year I was born. I remember hating it while watching telly as a kid. At that time we only had two channels and I wanted to watch cartoons, but only Emmerdale Farm on one channel and some crappy education program on the other channel. Normally I'd be out and play with the other kids, but some days you had the day alone or weren't allowed outside (for various reasons).

In that time kids played a lot more outside. Wink
