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 🙏🏿🥺
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.
Thank you so much for always taking your time for some nice feedback!!!!
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.
Hey, it is still to these days an un-reached morph effect! The were really pioneers!!
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.
Thank you so so much!! Yes Black and White, really did a fantastic job! Hard to come close to this level!! Even 30 years later...
@@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.
You’re hands down my favorite UA-camr to learn from. Keep up the amazing work. A million thumbs up 👍🏽
Thanks a million times!! Once for each thumbs up!!
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.
Yes! As I told you, I use the morph cut in almost each interview scene I do!
I just found your YT and I think you are my new favorite tutorial channel. Thank you so so much
thank you so much for your kind words!!
This is the best morphing tutorial I've ever seen 🔥
True
Incredible! You are getting better and better! Keep it up!
Thanks a lot!! That really means a lot to me! Would you like to see more tutorials with this girl??
Selten so ein gutes und vor allem heftig informatives Tutorial gesehen. Richtig nice wie du die Tools auch erstmal erklärst. Mega was gelernt.
Freu mich mega über deinen Kommentar!! DANKE!!
This trick with morph cut while editing interviews is super helpful, thanks a lot man!
Thanks for watching and commenting!!
smoothest thing seen today !!!
That is amazing!!! Holy moly
Holy moly!! Thanks a lot!!
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.
Yes! Once you know about it, you wonder how you have ever lived without it...
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 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Hey! Thank you so so much for your kind words!!
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
Wow! Thank you so much for the comment!! Really means a lot to me!!
@@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!!🙏🙏🙏👍👍😇
Nochmals, neben deiner exzellenten englischen Sprache, ist dieses Video, das ich zum ersten Mal sehe, exzellent!
Vielen Dank!
Tausend Dand für das sehr nette Feedback!!
The best morphing tutorial I've found. Thanks for this.
Thanks for the nice words!! Happy you liked it
love this thank you for making this video
Thanks a lot for your comment!!
That video is awesome and the best I found on Morphs! Very well explained!
Thanks a lot!!
Great Explanation and step by step guide, loved the tutorial. Keep up the tutorials...
Thanks a lot for the nice Feedback!! I ll do my best to keep you happy!!
Excellent tutorial. Thank you!
Thanks a lot!!
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!!
SUPER cool !!!!!! Thanks dude! :)
Thanks a lot!!
Bro this is brilliant!! Much better than other similar tutorials. Thank you!!!
TNX!!
this was crazy helpful
Thank you!!
This was an epic tutorial!
Thanks a lot!!
Great work!

I ll try my best!! Thanks a lot!!
Thanks you show much I was waiting for this video now finally its come
Hey!! Happy you like it!!
Awesome my friend!
Thanks a lot!!
Really appreciated it!
Me too!!
Whaaaaat da fuuuuq?! The morph cut effect is mind blowing. Woooow
It is indeed!!
Cool!
thanks!!
that was epic. thank u. subbed.
thanks a lot!! happy you liked it!!
A very good idea to use the Find Edges filter as an outline guide!
Thanks a lot!! Sometimes you need to think outside of the box!
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
Hey Chris! Thanks again for the nice words! Let me see your result!!
@@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?
Great job
tnx
Wow!! This is so cool. I learned a lot. Thank you!!
Hey! Thank you so much for your comment!!
Great information!
Thanks a ton!!
Gave you a thumbs up dude.. thanks for the post. Appreciated.

Brilliant tutorial 👏

Nice and smooth, i have missed you flomotion
Haha... missed you too!!
@@flo.motion please may i write you on whatsapp sir ☺☺?
Thank you for great lessons...Bravo Bravo
Thanks a lot!!
Sick tut bro
Jeah! TNX a lot!!
Well done, great explanation.
Thank you
awesome! Thank you so so much
Thanks a lot!!!!
Excellent video, it was really entertaining
Thanks for the nice feedback!!
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 !!
Tks for sharing your knowledge
Tks for watching!!
This is brilliant! Thank you.
Thanks a lot!!
Wahnsinn!!!! Danke!!!!
Gerne!! Schön dass es dir gefällt!!
Thats Great 👍
Thank you!!
awesome!
Thank you!!
Thanks, Buddy...Its Excellent.
Thank you!!
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
Thanks a lot!! Yes, those effects are still unreached!!
Классная идея! Надо будет как-нибудь попробовать.
Большое спасибо! Когда закончите, покажите, пожалуйста, свой результат !!
Awesome
thank you!!
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.
Thank you so so much for your nice words!! #motivation!!
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.
Thank you so so much for the feedback!! Will focus more on that also in future tutorials!!
Good job❤
Thank you!!
Nice!
thanks!!
It's amazing... 🙂
Thanks a lot!!
Keep it up!!
Good tutorial 👍
Thanks a lot!!
FANTÀSTIC!
TNX!!
your the best 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
THANK YOUUUUUUU!!!!
Instant shaving. I like it. Great for lockdown.
Would also be great for my haircut!!
Err, for your hair growth you mean...it's certainly growing quickly here. Seriously, great tut. Love it.
Good work
Thanks a lot!!
Love you sir...
Love you too!!
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.
Reading the book? Dancing?
@@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.
God bless u tysm
You too!! Thanks a lot!!
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
You got it!! Thanks for taking the time... I found, that ignoring the dislikes is the best way to do it...
@@flo.motion I used it for a Werewolf transformation I'll post it soon
Teşekkür ederim.
çok memnun oldum!
thats tight tight tight
Thank you!!
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
Thank you so much for your kind words!!
I’m working on a project morphing a still image to still image. Can you recommend one?
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
tumps up to u
no, thumbs up to you!!
Wow fantastic trick without third party plugin
Indeed!! Thanks a lot!!
i was about to give you a like but i forgot i already did
Haha.. so good!!
What a genius, hahahaha, thanks for sharing
Thanks a lot!!
Dude your tutorials are so underestimated. Amazing, loved that you give such a detail explaining. Subbed and liked. Question: you worked with 15frames, usually I work transactions with 7 frames.. I think if you worked with 7frames would be easier and faster. What do u think? Last but not least I loved the morph you did with your friend shots. You should have showed that too!
Thank you so so much!! Really such a nice comment!! You mean the other morph with my triplet brothers?
@@flo.motion yes! Is there a video for that too?
Loving your accent
Which accent?? 😜😜
+ *NICE JOB* Dear Friend👍
Jeah!! Thanks a lot!!
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.
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.
Haha... ok, got you! I am on it!!
the best morphin ever made i saw in Willow the movie...
oh, I have to check that out
Fin Raziel Morphin..@@flo.motion
I see you already mastered the clone stamp tool before being born
Haha right!!
Hi! such a nice tutorial! I have a question is it doable if the 1st face and 2nd face have a different angle?
well... still doable, but the result will not be that nice
Don't worry mate....most of the times the thumbs down are from the people who are idiots and don't value art❤️
Keep going buddy.
Thanks a lot for the motivation!! Keep it up!!
Never, Never, Never Give Up
Nope... never!!
Very precious tutorial but didn't understand last video after 23.31 is very smooth morph than original edited
hey! That is the exact same shot, but only slowed down!!
@@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
REVisionFX plug-ins - RE:Flex MORPH & RE:Flex WARP
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
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.
Have you triee adding a cleanplate behind it? Actually there should be no light shift... ...strange
hei, thanks.
thank a lot!!
Great tutorial ❤️❤️❤️ how did u make her talk
🤔
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.
I did... indeed... and it took me weeks to finalize it... 🥴🥴😵😵
By the way: that is me an my two brothers!
What about Michael Jackson's video Black Or White..? Was it the same technique with Liquify tools on that time..?
Haha... I am not even sure if After Effects existed back then! They used a special program that was specifically written for those shots! There was no graphic interface back then. Think about it in that way: The only saw some code on their monitors, hit the render button or typed in "render.exe", waited for a few days and could then see the result and tweak the code from there...
This is a bit like the doctor who regeneration scene when one actor who plays The Doctor transforms into the Next
Totally!
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!
Hey! Hier auch nochmal vielen Dank!! Wie lange arbeitest du schon mit After Effects?
@@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!
WIe ich schon sagte, sobald ich an einem Projekt komme und AE Einsatz gefragt ist, komme ich auf dich zurück. ... Magst du mir eine E-Mail schicken, wo du mir deinen Tagessatz nennst?! Vielen Dank.
