Animation Interpolator
A browser-based tool that inserts intermediate frames between animation images using Farneback optical flow, with loop and background options.
- For
- Animators working with ordered image frames
- Worth noticing
- It warns that motion works best across roughly 5–50 pixels; larger gaps may produce blurred intermediates.
Field notes
The instructions recommend naming source images with numbered filenames because files are sorted by name. Users can choose the number of inserted frames and optionally connect the last original back to the first for a loop. A dark-background option offers a threshold control, while playback includes pause, speed, and ping-pong modes. The page cautions that large gaps between source images can blur and that optical flow cannot reveal occluded surfaces.
