Motion smoothing is ruining cinema
This whole thread and article is like it&#x27;s from an alternative universe to me. All of my tech-savvy friends go to great lengths to turn motion smoothing on everywhere (&quot;smooth video project&quot; is the best I know for PC) they can so that panning shots don&#x27;t look awful. They wouldn&#x27;t play videogames at 24Hz, so why should they watch a film at 24Hz?<p>It does introduce artefacts. The solution to all of this is for filmmakers to move on from the 1930s and film at 120 fps or higher. If people only want to watch a quarter of the frames, it can be downsampled easily.<p>The argument reminds me of musicians who didn&#x27;t want their albums chopped up and sold as individual tracks, to be consumed however listeners desired.
