KRONOS is available to buy, rent or evaluate for Adobe After Effects.

KRONOS consists of two plug-ins, Kronos and Motionblur. Kronos allows you to both retime and motionblur clips, Motionblur splits out the Motionblur section as a separate plug-in for ease of use.

The Kronos and MotionBlur plug-ins utilise the Blink framework to offload processing to your supported NVidia CUDA graphics card, as detailed in the KRONOS release notes.

The Kronos and MotionBlur plug-ins are fully float enabled, so don't clip your super-white and super-black information.

Kronos Plug-in

Kronos is used to change the speed of a clip. The algorithm uses motion-estimation technology to generate motion vectors that describe where each pixel is moving from frame to frame. This is then used to build in-between frames in a sequence. The images below show a blend (left) to create a new frame and a sharp frame (right) created using our vectors. Motion blur is automatically created when speeding up clips. Much of our research has concentrated on reducing the edge-dragging between foreground and background objects.

MotionBlur Plug-in

MotionBlur uses the Foundry's advanced motion estimation technology to add realistic motion blur to a sequence. MotionBlur uses the same techniques and technology as the motion blur found in Kronos but presents the controls in a less complex, more user friendly way.
