Morph Transitions

The Morph Transition creates a fun metamorphosis effect by analyzing the content in one clip and blending it into the content of the next clip.

The Morph Transition Editor lets you set a guide line for each clip to help determine the area of focus for the transition, such as a horizon line. You can then preview the transition and make adjustments to the guide line and length (duration) of the transition. The guide line determines how the transition will be applied, so feel free to experiment with the positioning until you achieve a result you like.

Morph transitions work best between clips that have similar reference points.

5 In the Preview area, use the playback controls to preview the transition.

Note: You can drag the vertical bar on the timeline below the preview to adjust the length (duration) of the transition.
