Prompt

Apply a Frame Interpolation effect, rendering a synthetic midpoint between subtly time-offset versions of the scene. Show gently displaced contours, faint double edges around moving details, localized optical-flow stretching, and soft translucent ghosting near occlusions. Retain natural colors and consistent lighting, avoiding uniform motion blur. Keep the original subject and composition.

Paste it into LetzAI with your own image to apply the effect ↗

Identify

An intermediate image connects two states that are offset in time.

Principle

Optical flow1 or neural frame models estimate a new temporal image.

Try it out

Pay attention to hidden edges2.

Classification

Schematic visualization, not neural inference.
