Hi, is there any way to slow down KotOR 1, specifically cutscenes? Say, to make them 2% their original speed?
"Why, oh, why?" you rightly ask. Well, using the Camera Keyboard settings in kotor.ini, I've been able to slow down the in-game camera, which allowed me to do this test:

These fly-by shots are the original footage I captured at 30fps, but sped up about 50 times. Each captured frame is essentially a "sample". Blending a bunch of these samples together creates the actual blur, which gives a very film-like look.
Like I said above, I've been able to do this by editing the Camera Keyboard settings in kotor.ini. However, the camera swerving around a character gets kind of dull after a while, and I think it'd be really cool to see this in the cutscenes.
Before, I've been able to slow the walking animation of the PC. I also saw a mod out here that changed the speed of people walking in the streets. In Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast there is a timescale cheat which slows everything down to a minimum of 10%. I don't think there is anything like that in KotOR, so I'm hoping some individual cutscene animations could be slowed down, though I suspect it is a time-consuming process.
The sounds very likely won't slow down, but I can just add that later, so only the visuals would have to be slowed down.
Here's another video showing the effects of motion blur:

I've tried to add this motion blur using After Effects myself, but with subpar results (since it has to create the missing samples between each frame by calculation, often creating weird distortions).
Just for clarification, this motion blur is not intended for during gameplay. The actual game is supposed to be slowed down, so I can create video with a film-like blur, which I think would add to the cinematic-ness of KotOR.
This feels like a strange request, just for a bit of blur, but I'm kind of excited about it (if it works), so I'm just throwing it out there. :)
