Yeah, the Morph Cut is not suitable for every situation. I’ve just been lucky with my challenges I guess.

I’ll probably sound like the laziest person ever now, but I think it’s a missed opportunity from Adobe by not implementing the “Morph Cut” as a transition in Ae; instead, there’s a lot of extra manual work that easily could have been avoided. I mean, the “Morph Cut” in Premiere is fantastic, it’s just a simple drag-and-drop. I’ve never experienced any problems, glitches or unwanted results with it (but I understand that it’s not perfect for everybody).

Thank you, Walter! I have a much better understanding now.

Dave, I did that before I posted this question and started this thread.

My results:

• “Luminance” and “Lightness” creates identical results.
• “Full” and “Half” doesn’t change anything at all; they “turn off” the Displacement Map-effect completely.

I’m just curious why there are two options for the same result (“Luminance” and “Lightness”), and also what the purpose of “Full” and “Half” is since they don’t seem to work?

Agreed! However, I was talking about using the Color Profile Converter-effect to delinearize an image in a linearized working space when effects like Colorama doesn’t generate expected results or behaves unexpectedly. “Some effects work well in a linear space, others work better in a video/logarithmic/gamma-encoded space” just like you said, Walter.

I found a solution to the “Colarama generates unexpected results in a linearized working space”-issue; if I apply the Color Profile Converter-effect before the Colorama-effect with the following settings the Colorama-effect starts working as expected:

• Input Profile = Project Working Space
• Linearize Input Profile = Yes
• Output Profile = Rec.709 Gamma 2.4 (this should be the same as your Project Working Space)
• Linearize Output Profile = No

Apparently, the Colorama-effect doesn’t like to work in a linearized working space, so by applying the Color Profile Converter-effect before the Colorama-effect and delinearizing the image (or whatever) the Colorama-effect now works as expected!

Thank you, Walter! I feel like I have a better understanding now. I wasn’t aware of the Color Profile Converter-effect, however, I’m a little bit confused how to use it properly. Can you help? I’ve applied the Color Profile Converter-effect to a sRGB-image in a 16 bpc Rec.709 Gamma 2.4 linearized project. When choosing “Input Profile”, should I choose the specification of the image (sRGB, non-linear) or the specification of the project (Rec.709 Gamma 2.4, linearized)?

Which key (button) is “/” on this keyboard?:

Thank you, Dave, but I was talking about “Fit” when it comes to zooming in/out in the comp window:

I finally found a working expression written by Dan Ebberts in this thread: https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/227/20157

The expression:

minVal = -80;
maxVal = 30;
w = wiggle(5,1)-value;
value + linear(w,-1,1,minVal,maxVal)

Kalleheikki, your expression works great UNTIL I change the frequency because when I do, the smooth transitions no longer works:
