    Yes. Motion smoothing. It’s like kerning or the Wilhelm scream. Once you notice it, you’ll hate it.

    It makes the slow panning forests and splashy paint videos in Currys look nice, but it makes movies and TV shows look terrible.

      Eh, I’ve been adding it on purpose to technical and astronomy documentations during transcoding for my library. 23.whatever fps NTSC pulldown is just choppy.

        Yeah, the way I see it if what you’re looking at is real, it might look alright. Sport, etc.

        For anything with special effects, it looks like unfinished behind the scenes footage. I saw The Hobbit in high frame rate and 3D, and let me tell you, it just looked like Martin Freeman in rubber feet. Although in fairness the whole film was gash even in standard 24 fps.
