slowmoVideo is an open-source equivalent of the well-known proprietary Twixtor plugin.

If you try to follow the procedure from the project documentation under Kubuntu 12.10, you’ll not go very far. Because you’ll start by installing the default -dev packages of libavutil:

$ sudo aptitude install libavcodec-dev libavdevice-dev libavfilter-dev libavformat-dev libavutil-dev libswscale-dev

Then you’ll need the -extra packages, which can’t be installed with -dev packages:

$ sudo aptitude install libavcodec-extra-53
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libavcodec-extra-53{b} libavutil-extra-51{ab} libvo-aacenc0{a} libvo-amrwbenc0{a}
0 packages upgraded, 4 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libavutil51 : Conflicts: libavutil-extra-51 but 6:0.8.5ubuntu0.12.10.1 is to be installed.
libavutil-extra-51 : Conflicts: libavutil51 but 6:0.8.5-0ubuntu0.12.10.1 is installed.
libavcodec53 : Conflicts: libavcodec-extra-53 but 6:0.8.5ubuntu0.12.10.1 is to be installed.
libavcodec-extra-53 : Conflicts: libavcodec53 but 6:0.8.5-0ubuntu0.12.10.1 is installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

    Keep the following packages at their current version:
1)     libavcodec-extra-53 [Not Installed]
2)     libavutil-extra-51 [Not Installed]

Abandoning all efforts to resolve these dependencies.
Abort.

This issue was already reported. But we’re lucky: someone contributed on that ticket a nice script to help you build the missing link.

Let’s fetch it and make it produce a collection of new libav packages:

$ mkdir new_libav
$ cd new_libav
$ wget https://launchpadlibrarian.net/126008181/mk_libav-extra-dev.sh
$ chmod 755 ./mk_libav-extra-dev.sh
$ ./mk_libav-extra-dev.sh

You can then install the working libav packages:

$ sudo dpkg --install ./lib*.deb
$ cd ..
$ rm -rf ./new_libav

Now, we can follow the standard slowmoVideo instructions:

$ sudo aptitude install build-essential cmake git ffmpeg libavformat-dev libavcodec-dev libswscale-dev libqt4-dev freeglut3-dev libglew1.5-dev libsdl1.2-dev libjpeg-dev libopencv-video-dev libopencv-highgui-dev
$ cd ~
$ git clone git://github.com/slowmoVideo/slowmoVideo.git
$ cd slowmoVideo/slowmoVideo
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ sudo aptitude install libopencv-dev
$ cmake ..
$ make -j3
$ make install
$ cd ../../V3D
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make -j3
$ make install

After that you’ll be able to run slowmoVideo itself:

$ ~/slowmoVideo/install/bin/slowmoUI
