KRONOS
KRONOS is a CUDA GPU accelerated retiming plug-in for Adobe’s After Effects that brings together innovative technologies and Academy Award®-winning FURNACE algorithms to offer a whole new approach to retiming footage.
KRONOS consists of two plug-ins, KRONOS which allows you to both re-time and motionblur clips, and Motionblur which creates the Motionblur section as a separate plug-in for ease of use.
You can use KRONOS for retiming, speed-ramping, time-remapping and slow-motion effects, and the addition of realistic motion blur. Retiming can be particularly useful when you have to make something fit an allotted time segment, or want to creatively move in "super slow-motion", saving you time and effort.
Features
- Uses The Foundry’s Academy Award®-winning FURNACE algorithms
- Ground-breaking Blink technology for real-time CUDA acceleration
- Optical-flow engine
- Core tracking workflow
- Fully automatic and fully configurable operation mode
Benefits
- KRONOS adds quality and performance to your pipeline. By utilising NVIDIA GPU to off-load processing, KRONOS can create brand new frames using optical flow/motion estimation, at an incredibly high speed, producing far superior results than other packages.
- KRONOS uses complex mathematical logarithms to look at every pixel on each frame to be able to predict where it will move to next. By comparing the two, it can make a very good guess at what would come in-between, allowing the creation of additional frames and a super smooth slow-motion result.
- New Blink technology uses NVIDIA's Fermi GPUs to run faster than real-time, offering much faster performance for your workflows.
