  • Morphing (Or other effective transitions) in After Effects?

    Posted by Raymond Miller on September 17, 2011 at 5:51 pm

    Hi,

    I am working on a project that involves a man in front of a greenscreen talking about his company and I was trying to find a creative way to transition between sections of his speech without just resorting to crossfades. I was thinking of a morphing effect but I am at a loss as to how to achieve this effectively with live action video footage on After Effects.
    If a morph is an unattainable option I am open to other methods.

    Thank You in advance.

    Here’s a simple AE morph recipe from one of my older posts:

    Since it’s green-screen, you could re-frame the shots at the transition points with cuts or any other transition. Depending on your footage and your delivery requirements, you may be able to simulate the look of a multicam shoot, which may add some visual interest over keeping the talent in the same shot for the duration of the project.
