Why is the image so jerky?

I love how it looks. It's so smooth. I don't really understand how it works. It looks like it has more frames but how is that possible?

It is very clever, I was amazed at how well it works when I tried it. What it does is it analyses the content of the frames to identify moving elements so it can form extra frames in between. E.g. imagine a ball moving across the screen, the ball is in one place one frame, then has moved along a bit for the next frame. It doesn't just blend the two images together to form one with a blurry ball in two places, instead it makes a whole new frame with a clear image of a ball between the two positions. So it really does have more frames when you use this feature.

I can see that some people might like it, and perhaps I would get used to it, but I found it made movies look "cheap" to me, like a camcorder soap opera.
