About:
Mvtools is a VapourSynth plugin providing advanced filters for motion estimation and compensation. It enables precise motion vector analysis between video frames, allowing for high-quality motion interpolation, deinterlacing, and frame rate conversion. Its main value is in creating smooth slow-motion effects and restoring motion clarity in video post-production workflows.

Key Features:

Motion vector estimation and compensation
Motion interpolation and frame rate conversion
Deinterlacing and motion blur tools
Support for multi-threaded processing

Use Cases:

Creating smooth slow-motion video via frame interpolation
High-quality deinterlacing of archived footage
Motion-compensated noise reduction

Alternatives:

MVTools2 – An older fork of MVTools; the dubhater version is generally considered more maintained and optimized for VapourSynth.
FFmpeg minterpolate – A built-in FFmpeg filter for motion interpolation; MVtools offers more granular control and often higher quality results at the cost of complexity.
