When I saw the announcement for this tutorial, I thought: this is the best morph I've seen since the Black and White video. Really fantastic how you explain the initial preparation on the shoot and all the tools and how they work. This is a perfect tutorial.
@@flo.motion Well its a very well planned shot with a lot of Physical things also happening onset. Its far from the best ever any more. Its just the one that is clearly a morph. The best morphs being done these days are invisable effects. Black and White is very good though and does hold up. LIke they comp in hair swinging in one person before they start the morph. Thats just good planning.
I still remember the first time I saw that effect in Michael Jackson's Black Or White, I was all crazy trying to think how they had done it, without a doubt the king of pop was ahead of time. Thanks for this great tutorial, a hug and success.
I love the way you explain how the tools work instead of just using them and letting others figure it out,it is part of what makes you a very special tutor. I was also unaware of the morph cut tool in Premiere heh! Well done as always and thanks for the time you spent.
The best teacher i have ever seen , i m Alone at home and you are so clear with a powerful knowledge!!! Thank you so much to be there !!! Go on !! I will follow you every Time !! You are a genius
@@flo.motion Thanks so much to take Time to answer, you are unbelivable!!! It’s the first time i leave a comment for your work but i follow you for a long time, and i hope you will continue , i love to learn with you, your way is so professional!!🙏🙏🙏👍👍😇
Ох, помню как я удивлялся в детстве этому клипу Джексона. Ставил покадровое воспроизведение и не верил своим глазам. А теперь я могу сделать это за 20 минут не имея никакого опыта в монтаже. Магия.
Привет! Это именно то, что я испытал, когда увидел это! И на протяжении многих лет я искал компанию, которая занималась эффектами, и хотел узнать о ней больше! Но все же думаю эффект музыкального видео не достигнут !!
You did nothing wrong you presented this tutorial so unique and cool. Those who disliked this video and many more just hated maybe on you the awesome person you are and your talent. Simply that 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Good tutorial. I really liked the extra time you spent going over parts of the Liquify tool, and that Morph Cut transition will be something I can use for sure.
I finally figured it out! So I think the reason some people dislike your videos is because they're new to After Effects so they won't know what a key is or that you have to click on the stopwatch.. so when you put "easy" on the tutorial they're gonna want you to explain everything in detail. I've been using After Effects for awhile so I figured everything out but someone who has never used it would be lost without a background in the program
One thing I love about this tutorial is it explains the idea behind the process first. Too many tutorials just go step by step without explaining WHY you are doing what you are doing.
That is exactly what I tr to do all the time!! If you know what is behind an effect, you can do it in any tool... like a glow is basically a blur... simple things!!
That is a great use of the morph, being able to blend the jump cut in Premiere. I immediately checked my Final Cut Pro on the G5 and sure enough, it is not available in the menu. So I checked AE on the G5 and you guessed it, not available in the menu. SMH I was so pumped up to try it out that I turned to my imaginary girl friend and asked her if she wanted to morph with me but since she is imaginary, wasn't on the menu. That video of you two dancing at the beginning and end and reading the book was cute. You have great chemistry together.
@@flo.motion Yeah, Dinosaurs in Omas Garten. But I don't see it anymore when I scroll down your page. I still see the great tutorial of you riding the 3D dino and that same costume at the beginning. I must have been dreaming, time difference of a million years.
Iv been looking for a good Morph Tutorial for Years, all I get was people morphing still image to still image, I wanted a Video to Video, Thank you sir, you got yourself a Sub Bro
Dude - you're sick - keep doing what you're doing. The people who gave you a thumbs down on this video are probably noobs looking for a quick/lazy fix for their morph cut problems.
Thanks for this tutorial I really learnt alot. All this time I mostly had a jump cut in my interview videos but after watching this I have a solution. Thanks again. Awesome tutorial.
Since I was little and saw the MJ video i was waiting for a software to have a simple drag and drop transition. Thumbs up for the tutorial and for the editors VFX artist of the video back then
This is a really good tutorial. Instantly subscribed. Most people don't explain the why part but just the how part which is not really helpful in the long run.
Wow, great tutorial. I love that you can achieve great results in just a few simple steps. You just have to know, and that's what you achieved for me. Will try it today. Thanks
@@flo.motion i do a lot of drone shots and I don't like the boring cuts and transitions in the areal videos. Maybe I can combine the morph with zoom to get more flowing transitions and get the videos more dynamic. What do u think?
@@flo.motion thank you guru ji u have a great experience in the field so watching your video gives my skill a boost thank you for sharing valuable knowledge
Servus, wie gut geht es dir heute! Weil ich behaupte herauszuhören, dass du Deutsch deine Muttersprache ist (vermutlich denkst du, "es ist auch nicht schwer zu erkennen"), schreibe ich auf Deutsch. Hier geht es aber um deine Skills. Die finde ich sehr beeindruckend und deine Tipps hilfreich! Danke! Habe auch deinen Kanal aboniert!
@@flo.motion Hi. Immer mal wieder phasenweise. Am Stück kann ich das nicht sagen. ... aber ich bin vom Niveau eher wie ein "aufgestiegener Anfänger". ... :) Deine Skills sind wirklich profi-haft!

Hey! How did you keep the light constant in the middle of the opacity cut? Although I manage to make the morphing look good, the cut is given away by the difference in opacity. Even though both videos were recorded with the same lighting scheme. It's as if there was a small dip in the light during the morphing transition.
Cool tutorial. Also you can use other distortion methods, like Reshape, Mesh Warp, Puppet tool or even use Mask with its vertices linked to Puppets through Duik bones (thats may be quite complicated). Do you know about ReVision ReFlex Plug-ins? With ReVision ReFlex Warp or ReFlex Motion Morph you can achieve better results and a lot quicker.
Hey! Exactly! The method stays the same, it is a mixture of warping and blending! Some of the tools you mention have some limitations, for example Reshape only allows for one mask (as far as I know) And also ReFlex does exactly the same! The only difference is that they have some special features, like automatically align the images or features in the image and edge detection. But the animation process is the same, you animate the warp and the blending and create a morph by that! By the way: The morph in the beginning where we took a picture on each birthday was done with ReFlex Motion Morph!!
@@flo.motion in reflex you could use a lot of masks on one layer for small details, and it is possible to animate mask path instead of blend amount. So i think ReFlex is simpler and faster, but unfortunately it is paid.
In terms of the shooting side of this, how precise do you have to be in the original alignment of the talent faces? I presume you couldn't blend 2 continuous talking shots cos there's 2 much movement. Thanks, love your work!
Hey, that is indeed tricky! And the words would need to line up perfect!! So for example in a music video you could do it! I tried that a few years ago: ruclips.net/video/PhDtJG7C_qg/видео.html This is basically a morph over 3 minutes... but also the eyes and so on are really differnet to achieve! Maybe you could try morph it, and then track one mouth shape over it? Really curious to see your result!!
Good Point! I also have their plugins and they are absolutely great!! But in this tutorial I wanted to show you a method on how to do it without plugin, as they are indeed a bit expensive if you only want to do it for fun! But the triplet shot in the beginning was done with RE:Flex
Hi, did u use the same technique for the example of all the photos of three people standing with a banner in the beginning of the video? The morph looks really great there.
my opacity slider just refuses to work. it works every time I make a new project but as soon as i move one of my layers there is nothing i can do with the transparency
Hyeee... I'm happy I found you... This tutorial is indeed very helpful for people who could morph simple objects ...But I don't even start with it ...Could you please spoon food "morphing" to newbie like me.

It's so crazy how old that effect is and people are still trying to replicate it, it was so well done in the Black Or White video!
you are totally right! And still no real idea how they achieved it!!
@@flo.motionIt was done using elastic reality which was discontinued back in 1999.
@@RBahn1Interesting comment. Please tell me more 🙏🏿🥺

Err, for your hair growth you mean...it's certainly growing quickly here. Seriously, great tut. Love it.
I'd love you forever if you did just a video of people morphing the tutorial was fantastic I would love to see a video of different people morphing 😊😊
Not quite sure, but wasn't that exactly what this tutorial was showing to you? I morphed one person to another...?? Or did I miss something??
I must have confused you sorry I was meaning like just a video clip no tutorial of more people morphing
