    Posted by Diley Balbuena on July 25, 2013 at 11:21 am

    Hello,

    I need some help. I have been working on a video for work and it’s for a competition with lego cars. It’s a team work morale booster and none of us have any experience in film and editing. I have made due with it though.

    I have created a video with multiple tutorials and all was fine except when I reach the morph – nothing goes right. I’m trying to morph 4 cars into one car. All I get when trying is an entire page morphed and it looks terribly sloppy. I have no helpful plugins so i tried the correspondence method. Can someone help me create a quick 5 to 10 sec morph for the attached two images? My deadline is Friday. It’s a lot to ask, but I was hoping someone can offer a hand. I will eternally grateful. I figured I give it shot.

    Until then I will slave away in front of the computer trying to figure it out with all the morphing tutorials I found. If I don’t
    I’ll just do a simple transition.

    Thanks
    Diley

    Your link doesn’t work, go to your profile(click your name), click the files tab, click in the link field and just paste the link directly into your reply, like this:

    6315_4carsmorphblackandwhite.rar.zip

    Also, when I opened it up, I only saw 1 image(4 cars) not 2, where’s the second one?

    It’s probably a little to late though but here it is.

    Thanks though!

    I did an old transformer project where words Transform into other words, it’s at the office, but I could plug your images into in the morning and you could take a look and use it if you like it.

    Today’s my last day. I shouldn’t have waited to the last minute for that last scene – I was just having a hard time with it. I’m probably going to pull an all nighter trying to figure out how to make those two images into something usable although.
    I’m about to give up and just going the transition route since I still have to do timing and final editing. I think it will still kind of get the the message across. I wish I had more time, they just gave us a week to pull a mirable – but I appreciate the thought. Thanks again
