If, like me, you only use open source software there are a few options but they’re not integrated within a general post processing or video editing GUI. Motion interpolation or motion-compensated frame interpolation (MCFI) is a form of video processing in which intermediate animation frames are generated between existing ones by means of interpolation, in an attempt to make animation more fluid, to compensate for display motion blur, and for fake slow motion effects.įor those that use proprietary software there’s a few that can do this, including Twixtor and After Effects. Here’s what Wikipedia has to say about motion interpolation. To make the faces morph I used motion interpolation to morph between each face.

These faces continue to morph between lots of different faces, suggesting that when getting to know people you can never really settle on who they are.

In this case, the -c copy flag is used to define the output file in this case, the file the end of the Let’s Never Meet video the robotic faces slowly morph into something a little bit more human-like. Similarly to -ss, if you don’t want to cut part of the end of the video, but only part of the beginning, you don’t need to apply this flag. The option -t is used to specify the end of the new file in this case, the video will end at 00:02:00. The -i flag used to specify the file to be edited in this case, the file is LinuxHint-vim.mp4. For example, for 2 minutes and 3 seconds timing, you should type 00:02:03. As you can see, the timing format must be HH:MM:SS (Hours, Minutes, Seconds). If you only want to cut part of the end of the video, you don’t need to use this flag. The command below uses ffmpeg to cut the video from the second 00:00:05 specified with the flag -ss this is the flag to define a starting point for your new video in case you want to cut part of the beginning. I will be working with this Linux Hint video (duration 00:03:280) I just downloaded for this tutorial. You only need to define starting or end time, or both them if needed and the output file.
