Tighten up your interviews with the Morph Cut Transition in Premiere Pro
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- The new Morph Cut transition blends, or morphs, two different frames together to create a seamless cut. If you experience any stuttering during playback with a Morph Cut transition then there are a few steps you can take to make it work.

You have saved "my Bacon"
I love your teaching style. So, please do not stop doing what you are doing!
-Brandon Murphy
Thank you so much, that made my day!
geesh exactly what i needed. Thank you!
You are a life saver, my interview is due today and I had no idea how to get the morph cut to work properly. THANK YOU!
Glad you liked it and I'm happy to help.
You know.. fire is a best case scenario, being that heat waves can cause weird ripples as well - it isn't an effect that seems extremely out of place. Good video - thanks for making these.
+foxxxof - Thanks.
Love this. Editing an interview as i watch this and have this exact issue. Thanks Colin
Awesome, I'm glad it worked for you.
Just getting started with Premiere Pro CC 2019 and editing a non-actor reading script with a steady backdrop. Lots of do-overs and pause/read more sections that had to be razored out, including the separate audio track from his boom mic. This technique is exactly what I need to smooth out all the cuts. Thank you!
Well, I had limited success with this. Of the 7 cuts needed this transition for 2 of them kept saying "Analyzing in background" on the screen. My laptop cannot run HW acceleration so I figured it was just horsepower during preview. Well, even the published MP4 output has the black box with "Analyzing in background" burned into the video. :-(
Yes, Morph Cut requires a lot of horse power to render. Nothing you can do about it other than wait or add more power. It's amazing when it works.
Great tip! It helps very much. ;-)
Oldie, but a goodie!
Yep, it's amazing when it works.
EXACTAMUNDO WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR AMUNDO! Thanks as always Colin.
Happy to help!
SUPER helpful!! Thank you!
Could you copy the "fire" tracks, put them on top, do the morph transition, and draw a mask around the guy so the it doesn't affect the fire?
Yes, that would work.
No disrespect for your client in that video. @1:18 But he looks like Nicholas Hoult getting ready for his yearbook photo.
Ha, ha! That's "Skippy", he's a great young man and quite the looker. Thanks for watching.
Thank you Sir!
You are welcome!
Wow. Didn't know of this - thanks for sharing!
I'm glad you liked it.
Still very useful. Thanks
You bet. I use it multiple times on every edit I do.
Thanks a million, just what I needed.
Glad it helped!
Thanks a lot for all the great content you share! I like the mix of simple and advanced topics! :-)
Thanks so much for watching.
thank you
Thank you! Subbed! Best ADobe Premiere Tut I have seen so far! Salute from Spain!
+Elmega Criticon Thanks so much for the kind words and joining my channel. Lot's more to come.
+VideoRevealed OMG! My videos looks SOOOOO much better now... I can't thank you enough!
+Elmega Criticon Your comment made my day! Thanks.
Can't wait to try this!! Thanks!
It's amazing when it works, but some clips are just too much for it to handle.
Thank you for this! So helpful even today!
Glad it was helpful!
Wow! keep up the great work.
Thanks!
Great! thanks for the tutorial! I just subscribed!
Thanks so much for your support.
LOVED IT!
Great!
That is PERFECT!
Thanks!
Has there been any updates to this technology since you posted this? could you do this with a Matte around the person and have morph cut only apply to the person and leave background?
There are no updates. The whole idea is that it's supposed to do exactly that, keep the static things static. I find it fails on many shots but when it does work it's like magic.
@@VideoRevealed Ok, just wondering, I have never used this effect, but your more recent video pointed me back to this one to watch. I remember on my old 486 computer I had a Morphing program, but it would allow you to use two different pics, map out the zones to morph to and from, and you would do a tiger to a persons face for example... I (half) expected this to work in the same way....
@@drone_video9849 There should be Morphing Plug-ins for After Effects, which behave the same way....
It can save your bacon, this is the must beautiful say in this video. Thank you for this video, I always have an issue with editing my video when I am talking, I have another bunch of tricks. but this one seemingly amazing. but I'm sorry I couldn't find (morph) in my transition affects, may be I've got an older version of premiere.
Morph Cut is in the newest version of Premiere Pro CC.
Thats good, but only works if the cut is so subtle
Correct.
Es maravilloso, ojala lo hubiera encontrado hace una semana. jejeje
¡Y ahora tiene un lugar para responder sus preguntas de Adobe!
Morph Cut is incredibly unstable just as a word of warning. It is a good tool when it works, but so often I have encountered exporting failures because Morph Cut is unstable. Use with caution
Morph Cut has two completely different ways of calculating the effect; CPU or GPU. I would say that the GPU is more apt to have issues due to GPU drivers always in flux. My recommendation is to turn off GPU acceleration when using Morph Cut. Also, Adobe has updated this effect in newer versions of Premiere Pro so that's worth a try.
Dear Colin Smith
I applied this Morph Cut transition into three diferent places in a 41 minute video and I got the software render error message number 512 at the very moment the system reached the first one of the three places at the timecode 00:14:00:23.
I was taken by surprise because I had already applied this transition before in another video, much shorter, with no problems while rendering.
The only way I succeeded in rendering was by removing all Morph Cut transitions. Fortunately they were only three.
Have you already been told of something like that before? If so, did you recommend any action to avoid this error?
Thanks for your help

The rendered files from transitions can become corrupt and sometimes you need to change the Renderer in the Project Settings to clear out the preview files. I change from GPU to Software and back and it useful fixes any issues.
The Morph Cut is notoriously tricky and it only works if the cuts are very similar.
Wow, great tutorial. Keep up the good work, however, I tried Morph cut in my interview, and it looked great But when I tried to render the final video, it would crash Premiere Pro 2017. Tried many different ways but in the end I gave up and removed the Morph. Any way getting around it?
My guess is the crash was caused by a GPU error. You could change the Project Settings to Software Only (which bypasses the GPU) or update your graphics card drivers.
uu uhm is awesome, its original. morph cut is dangerous.
Hi, I'm having a problem with the morph transition... If I'm applying it on my original footage file it works just fine... but I'm creating a nest sequence (or a sub sequence I tried both and makes no difference). This nest sequence contains my footage and one adjustment layer, with an ultrakey effect and a LUT. When I'm trying to use the morph transition on this nest sequence it gives me an error, saying "Error reading node property". Should I always make my cuts first and then applying the adjustment layers? this would be possible but a little troublesome.
Thank you for your contend and for being such an accessible person.
Leonardo Trigueiro
Morph Cut Transition uses a face recognition technology and it's best to keep the two clips as clean and original as possible so apply it to the clips, not a nest. If you need to add any affects, do it after with an adjustment layer or nested sequence.
Thank you
That's great info Eric.
@@VideoRevealed Adobe has been aware of this problem of seeing "error reading node property" on morph cuts in nested sequences for almost as long as morph cut has been available. They acknowledge it as a bug but obviously have no interest in fixing it. Resolve, on the other hand, has no difficulty handling situations like this so I've stopped using Premiere's morph cut.
Love this guys explanation/teachings. But after 2 years of my video editing I'm loosing my mojo . I need a good strong butt kick. What do you suggest :) lol
It looks like you do a lot of cycling videos, so why not shoot from a moving vehicle? I don't imagine you can do that in an actual race, but you can do that to add interesting footage. What if you shot the course the day before and used that footage with the race footage? Or what about changing your position to somewhere higher for some shots? That will give you a unique perspective. Also, wear one of those bright construction vests so no one will bother you because you look "official". It's a tactic shooters use to get access where they normally aren't allowed.
As the editor, your job is to serve the story so your options are limited with editing the same footage shot the same way. But if you spice up the shots, then you'll have more to choose from.
Tell more of a story. Use animated maps (I have a tutorial on that). All that will get your creative juices flowing.
Morph is not in my Premiere Pro CC 7.0, is mine outdated?
You already have Creative Cloud so just update to the latest version with the Creative Cloud Desktop application.
Could you use masks on this to morph selected areas?
No, the "morphing" is not something a user can control, it's only a transition.
Can i get the Morph cut free template link ?
Morph Cut is an effect already in Premiere Pro.
I didn't find the fire distracting
Oh, okay. Thanks for watching.
Apparently this trend didn’t take of, because there are even more jump cuts in video now a days, than ever before.
I absolutely agree. It's really a shame because it only takes a small amount of effort to prepare and deliver a quality performance on camera.
Colin, I know you'll answer questions, but I don't know if you'll take the time to look at a video clip and offer a solution. Lemme give it a try. If you'll go to my video at ua-cam.com/video/h5OPUCMFNlQ/v-deo.html then go to the very last ten seconds, I have two clips that I wanted to blend better than I did. I think it's possible, but I resigned myself to just using the default transition. That didn't work very well. Is there a transition or effect that will better stitch these two clips together? Many thanks!
There are no automatic tools to blend the vehicle like that. The Morph Cut Transition needs facial recognition to work, so that's out of the question.
The "Hollywood" way to blend these two files is to "morph" them. Morphing software used to be very popular but I don't even know who makes one anymore. What morphing will do is designate matching points on each part of the car and distort them. So the right headlight ends up landing on the right headlight of the next clip and the frames blend perfectly. It's very hard work to do correctly. Anyone can do a crappy morph job, but to make it seamless is an art form.
Here's a scene in the making of Forest Gump (sorry for the poor quality). The feather had to be morphed to land at Forest's foot.

VideoRevealed Wow! Thanks for sharing that. Of course, had I thought ahead to what I might want, I would have simply filmed a single, continuous shot. But the idea coalesced nearly a year after shooting it. We learn by doing, right?
This is horrible advice for interviews because it is unethical if you're making non-fiction. Viewers should know there's a cut when someone is speaking if you are making a documentary or if you're a journalist. Journalists and documentaries will always make cuts like this obvious.
Point taken.
Unless you work for MSNBC. Then the more you disguise your selective cherry-picking, the better.
I think they actually give out pay raises over there that.
:-P
VideoRevealed, I suspect you’re being polite, but don’t take the point too far because it’s far too general. There certainly exist situations where it _could_ be unethical, but there are far more where it’s not only fine as far as ethics goes, the cutting is the only thing making the thing viewable and without them many interviewees would be pissed off at the edit! But you knew all that. 🙂
Astralis Lux, nope. See, for example: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_reservation
I can barely hear you. Can't believe it's about editing an interview.
I have since raised my gain level for my tutorials. Sorry for the problem.
Why did you need a video that was close to 7 minutes long just to explain something you could have covered in under 2 minutes? You could have cut out the useless introduction and just told us how to do it.
Sorry you didn't like it.
This is a problem that many UA-camrs have. They ramble on about whatever their topic is, because they don't know what they want to say. Work on writing out a script and following it so you don't add in so many unnecessary parts.
So sorry you have to endure strangers who act like your boss. This is a problem with UA-cam viewers who haven't figured out they can scrub the timeline to get to the juicy parts. Then they rant as if they have skin in the game. If I were new to editing I would have gladly watched the whole thing. But I just wanted to see an example of the morph cut in action and skipped down. Nice work. BTW, I tried it in an interview and it worked surprisingly well. Thanks for the help.
You see, that is the issue. The majority of this video was useless content that you skipped through most of it to see the part that actually matter. The only issue with that is one wouldn't know whether he makes useful comments throughout the video or not.
Keep in mind that this video was to teach people how to cut out stammers, buzzwords, and useless content, which he shouldn't have had in his video. It did the opposite.
