This seems almost too good to be true. I’ve never seen Twixtor deliver these smooth results without some artifacting. I looked at the source and there is some funkyness but overall that’s quite impressive!

Nice! although this footage lends itself very good to this… once the bike crosses the bushes on the back, you see some very noticeable artefacts. e.g.at 01 minute 5s.

Yeah. This turned out really great. The editing and the footage worked perfectly for both the subject matter and the slowdown effects. Unfortunately those slowdown plugins almost never allow for such a great degree of slowdown. Specifically, they seem to almost always fail when a subject comes from outside the frame or moves to reveal background elements that they cannot predict.
These slowdowns had neither…which made for a great advantage and gave the piece some impressive..and probably free
...production value. Kudos.
I think its important for everyone to give these slowdown effects a try for an afternoon before they go out and shoot their masterpieces. If they know the capabilities and the gotcha’s its really possible to adjust your shooting style to compensate and plus the work.
BTW. My testing finds the slowdown plug’s in Nuke and Shake to be pretty damn good. On AE I just tested the new Twixtor, and it’s leaps better than the standard Timewarp in the app (which I am told is based on an older Foundry Kronos version).
