Using REFlex motion morph

[Pierre Jasmin]

When you run the installer did you select [x] After Effects CS4?
It should show up in the RE:Vision Effects folder in the Effects menu.

It should place the plugins automatically here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\CS4\MediaCore

Thanks – Pierre!

Much appreciated! I’ll try to locate it
in the plug-ins folder before I post next
time to see if it even installed…

I”ll repost soon w/my discovery either way…

Thanks again,

Hi again Pierre,

As we get deeper into the morping process, we’re running into some problems: as objects pass in front of one-another there is all kinds of distortion that happens. ie. a hand passes in front of a face during the morph and everything goes all mushy.

We’ve discovered that doing a separate comp for every problem shape will do the trick, but it’s super time consuming and we’ll have a big compositing job to do at the end of the morphing.

Can you think of another way to clean these problem spots up?

Thanks!

Yes some work involved…
Sometimes you can use the boundary shape but there is only one

In case if you have to do multi-pass morph, and you move a front layer in a way that leaves small holes, you can use RE:Fill Area to cover up the background hole.

Hi Pierre,

Here’s the finished spot that i directed and did the post on for a spec competition.

Your plugin came through.

Enjoy!
