The motion of video is not smooth as your demo video.

[minhmanho]

I just tested on video surf in DAVIS dataset. I don't know where went wrong, but, like the title, the motion is not as smooth as your demo. The interpolated frame seems closer to Frame 1 than Frame 3, the interpolated time probably is not exact 0.5 *Regarding the modification, I refrain to change significantly, just make a loop to run on video. Here are the modified run test on video and result.
