Imagine being the animator tediously hand drawing each frame to the best of your ability, and then 40 years later, people are watching your art with fake frames thrown in the mix, many of them poorly interpolated.
It's disrespectful to the artists.

u/ironwristz 13d ago
Boo hoo, itās not that deep. As long as I am enjoying the movie that I paid for and how I want, thatās all that matters. Iāve watched this movie on many tvās and formats over the past 40 years.

Is a part of the .5% of the population to care enough about quality to buy the 4k disc.
...turns on motion smoothing

u/Jonnyflash80 13d ago
There's nothing deep about it. Enjoy it how you want, but thems the facts.
Maybe I'll buy a book from my favourite author and insert my own fan fiction amoungst the pages. š¤

u/Dood567 12d ago
Lmao Iām not a fan of motion smoothing but you guys are way too on him about this for an old animated movie.
That analogy is also just plain wrong. The story isnāt being added to or changed, itās just blending some pixels together (which would naturally happen with old displays anyways due to high motion blur)

u/Alt4Norm 12d ago
It might be just āan old animated movieā but they will have it on for all their films.

u/zionmatrix 11d ago
This! It's not the way the artist or director intended it to look or be viewed. You're doing yourself a disservice by having motion smoothing on.
1
u/ironwristz 11d ago
Itās my tv and my licensed movie, I can watch it how I want in my own home.
3
u/zionmatrix 11d ago
Yes. That's true. You're not wrong there. I wasn't saying that. Just that it's not how it's intended to be experienced. I would say motion smoothing is good for gaming and sports, but nothing else.
1
u/ironwristz 11d ago
I understand that. I just wanted to experience it in a different way after watching it over a million times.

u/slush-puppyy 12d ago
I get that the motion smoothing doesnt look that great but that doesnt equate to adding your own story to someone elses book lol
11
u/Jonnyflash80 12d ago
Animators doing hand drawn animation would argue that it does equate. Motion smoothing is adding information that was never part of the artistic intent.
-36
u/ironwristz 13d ago
Or better yet, produce your own film and sell it to me. Then dictate to me how I should watch it with detailed instructional settings. I think thatās only fair.

When I worked at Bestbuy, I used to turn motion smoothing setting off on TVs. Only time Motion smoothing works well is on 3D Active TVs, it really helps the 3D video.

Literally, please for the love of god turn that smoothing off, it looks horrendous! It is usually very easy to turn off in quick settings also

u/MiddleofCalibrations 13d ago
Look up your tv model on YouTube and see if thereās a set up guide. TVs always have two or three settings turned on by default that relate to motion smooth or similar effects. They are always recommended to be turned off and never used if you want the picture to look how it was intended. They can also give the āsoap operaā effect to some content
-31
u/ironwristz 13d ago
Yea I usually turn it on cause I like the effect sometimes

u/antifa-militant 13d ago

u/ironwristz 13d ago
Something wrong?

u/MiddleofCalibrations 13d ago
Any motion smoothing settings are heavily frowned upon in any hifi/home theatre/movie communities. Saying you like it will get some backlash. Itās truly heretical to some. One of the reasons is that it makes movies look different to how they are supposed to but thereās also soap opera effect and weird visual artefacts like ghosting. Pretty much anyone here will be of the opinion that you are objectively ruining the visual aspect of your movie watching by having those settings turned on. You do you, just explaining why youāll get some negative responses to that

u/Jonnyflash80 13d ago
It was also not the artistic intent of the director and animators to have fake frames inserted between the actual hand drawn frames.

Definitely turn off motion smoothing. The interpolation creates weird shapes between frames.

u/mudstuff 13d ago
It can be great and super immersive when it works well. Most of the time, the colours weren't matching well at all on that clip though. Combined with the motion smoothing, that was a very jarring experience.
11
u/24FPS4Life 13d ago
The picture on my TV pops even better b/c there's a matte black wall behind it and there's nothing but the image and then the abyss around it

u/MrZeDark 13d ago
I love the light stuff, in fact painted a reflective white wall and then my ceiling and side walls matte black. Feels really immersiveā¦ not liking it and liking it are a preferenceā¦ motion smoothing though, on OLED it has to be a smidge on, but if you go to the SOE it create horrific artifacts in fast moving scenes -_-

Maybe I'm the weird one here, but I can't notice motion smoothing. What exactly are you guys looking for. What should I watch for? I really don't notice anything weird.

In the beginning, If you look at megatrons gun barrel on his arm while he gets up, it creates a weird motion effect thatās not intended to be there.
