    I`m trying to make something similar, but HAVE NO IDEA whatsoever how this is done, so I can`t really go on YouTube and search for the effect because I don`t know how it`s called.

    Can someone please elaborate on this effect that`s happening in this video from 0:35 to 0:55 –>

    How is this called? How is it actually done?

    Not sure if this is how it’s done, but you can achieve this effect if you take several frames from a shot where there is camera movement and morph in between them.
    So let’s say you pick the following frames from a second of footage (25 fps example):

    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24

    You would morph from 1 to10 in 25 frames, then from 10 to 1, again from 1 to 10 and then 10 to 18. Then 18 to 24, 24 to 18 , 18 to 24, 24 to the next frame you pick up. You may need to play around a bit until figure out the frames you pick and the amount of frames in which the morph happens so that you can match the beat.

    I hope it makes sense to you.

    You have two cameras shooting simultaneously but not exactly the same composition. Then you morph between the cameras. IMO this looks really dumb.
