Intelligent FRC takes a more nuanced approach to motion smoothing, allowing content creators to determine the level of motion smoothing used in each scene. Forbes reported this. This function is also designed to adjust the strength of motion interpolation depending on the ambient light.
Authentic Dolby Vision 2 motion
The intelligent FRC HDR10+ Advanced is very similar to the Authentic Motion feature that Dolby announced for its upcoming HDR standard. Dolby Vision 2in September.
The announcement describes Dolby Authentic Motion as “the world's first creative motion control tool that makes scenes more authentically cinematic without unwanted judder in every frame.” Authentic Motion will be available on TVs that support the most advanced level of Dolby Vision 2, called Dolby Vision 2 Max, and will be targeted at high-end TVs.
TechRadar In September, it was reported that Authentic Motion would have 10 levels of motion smoothing, citing a demo of the feature applied to a scene from the Amazon Prime Video series. Paris has fallen which was filmed at 25p. In the demo, the video reportedly went from motion smoothing level 5 during a tracking shot, to level 3 when “the camera smoothly switched to a downward tilt,” to level 1 “when the camera stabilized,” and then to level 0 “when a stationary camera watched the woman talk.”
Will this work?
We don't yet have enough information about any of the HDR standards to be confident that these technologies will improve the appearance of video through motion smoothing, especially for viewers who are already put off by motion smoothing.
Giving creators more control over exactly when motion smoothing is implemented and how strong it is could mean that the soap opera effect isn't applied to scenes unnecessarily. But none of the standards have proven that motion smoothing will look natural when applied to specific frames at different scales.
