Although you can apply a Shape Curve to a morph, the actual moving track of a key dot from Image 1 to Image 2 is still a straight line. Beginning with version 4.0, you can use a real curve as morph track instead of previous straight lines. You'll find that you can easily create very different and amazing morphs with this new feature. Choose the Sequence/Track Curve menu to open the Track Curve window.

Edit Curve

The track curve is specified by a sequence of control points and smoothly passes through each point in the sequence. There are at least two control points on a curve. The red cross on the curve marks the position of each frame.

• Add Point: Click anywhere in the working area () to add one control point.

• Move Point: Drag and drop a control point to move it.

• Delete Point: Right-click a control point to delete it.

• Tension: Drag the slider () to adjust the curve tension or directly type a value from 0 to 20.

• Flip: Click the Flip Horizontal or Flip Vertical button () to produce horizontal or vertical mirroring of the curve.

• Set for All Sequences: Make the Set for All Sequences () checked will apply this curve to all the sequences of the current project.

• Reset: Click the Reset button () to clear the current settings and back to the original status.

Curve Library

• Load Curve: Load a curve in the curve library () by double-clicking, then it will be displayed in the working area immediately.

• Save Curve: Click the Save button (), the current curve in the working area will be saved to the bottom of the curve library.

• Delete Curve: Select a curve in the curve library, then press Del key to delete it.

Remarks

• You can launch Track Curve as well as Feature/Shape Curve window at the same time.

• You can edit the curve while the morph movie is playing in real time, which means you will immediately see the effects on your final morph.

• Track Curve is only available in FantaMorph Deluxe.
