Paper Title: Temporal Dilation and Visual Fidelity: A Technical Analysis of Twixtor Applications on Kizumonogatari Source Material

Abstract

This paper explores the methodology and technical challenges of using RE:Vision Effects’ Twixtor plugin to manipulate the frame rate of Kizumonogatari (Akiyuki Shinbo & SHAFT, 2016). Due to the film’s unique visual style—characterized by rapid cuts, heavy stylization, and high-contrast animation—standard frame blending often yields subpar results. This analysis covers the preparation of source footage, the mechanics of retiming, artifact mitigation specific to the film’s art style, and the aesthetic implications of "fake 60fps" in anime editing (AMV/Edit culture).

Editors specifically target this series because its production qualities make the Twixtor effect look cleaner than almost any other anime: kizumonogatari twixtor
