  morphing

  Posted by Rob Kahn on February 13, 2006 at 5:40 pm

  I have logos which i want to morph from one to the other. I thought the RE Vision efffect would do the trick until I discovered it was a demo. I’m not against buying but at that price I want to know I’m getting what I need and not getting more than I need. Any thoughts?

  Thanks

  Rob

  Well, it’s the only real morphing plugin for most compositing apps out there, so you have little choice in the matter if you want to stay inside your beloved AE. However, there are some free-and shareware programs that allow morphing with varying degrees of quality, control and speed. Also do not forget the Reshape effect in AE. It’s a bit tricky to understand at times, but works quite well on simple linear setups as I suspect your logos to be.

  Thanks
  I’ll start playing with reshape. Unfortunatly these are corpaorate logos with images and graphics so they wont be quite that simple but hopefully reshape will do the trick.

  Could you name some of the share and freeware software ?

  He points out several pitfalls and tweaks, and what morphs well and what doesn’t.
