Re: Simple Morph
by Tim Dagoberg
Eran: Thanks so much for tutorial. Very interesting, funny, and well done. A few questions:

1) I tried to duplicate this morphing with an Illustrator file with layers. I manually pre-composed the layers and enabled the time remapping, etc, in AE but the blending option wasn't available for the layer in the composition panel and it didn't work. I did get it to work with a Photoshop sequence, as you showed. Does this morphing work only if the source files are photoshop sequences?

2) If there is some blending that isn't quite as clean as wanted, can you manually clean it up? If yes, how?

3) I am focusing on making a face turn, say, from a straight ahead keyframe to a face/keyframe turned 45 degrees... It seems to work well, but would you recommend another process to handling the inbetweening?

Thanks so much!

1. Looks like the layer that comes illustrator either are contentiously rasterized or didn't interpolate as a movie, if this is the case then AE won't allow you to work with them in a similar fashion as explained - so convert it to PSD doc and continue from there

2. not with the built in tools, for that you'll need RE:Vision Twixtor Pro

3. In that case, I'd recommend to check RE:Vision re:flex

Yes! you must use a movie file, or image sequence which has video qualities inside After Effects, that allow it to use Frame Blending option.
Thanks for highlighting this again :)

Cool trick, thanks.
Just to let everyone know: this only seems to work for (Photoshop?) image sequences. So, if you have a comp with consecutive single frames and you nest it and do the time remapping trick, frame blending still won't work. This, at least, is the behavior I encountered in CS3.

I used to think morphing was hard yet it can be as easy as this :) Thanks man this tutorial is definitely going to save my time :)

A great Idea! After many frustrating hours of fiddling with reshape masks at last I find a briliant shortcut thanks to your podcast.

Thankyou and keep the good stuff coming!

I'd also like to say a farewell to Aharon. Im a big fan of your podcasts and sad to say goodbye :(
