If you are familiar with morphing technique, you may know its kernel is: morph = deform the shape & cross-dissolve the feature. Before FantaMorph 3.0, we perform both the deformation and cross-dissolve linearly. Now with the new controls Feature Curve and Shape Curve, you can freely control the morph process of feature and shape. Choose the Movie/Feature Curve menu to open the Feature Curve window, or Movie/Shape Curve menu to open the Shape Curve window.

Edit Curve

The curve is specified by an array of control points. A curve passes smoothly through each point in the array. 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.

• Linear: Make the Linear option () checked will result in a line strip.

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

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 Feature Curve as well as 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.
