For this, we have to define the Correspondence Points of the Reshape effect. Since we want the remote to transform into the shape of the soccer ball, set the Source Mask property to the ‘Remote’ and the Destination Mask property to the ‘Soccer Ball’ mask.īefore we morph the remote into the soccer ball shape we have to tell After Effects how this shape transformation should take place. This effect allows you to deform the contents of one mask into the contents of another mask on the same layer.Īpply the Reshape effect to the Remote Morph layer. Go to the Effects & Presets panel and search for the ‘Reshape’ effect. We will first concentrate on making the Remote morph into the shape of the soccer ball so disable the visibility of the Soccer Ball Morph layer.
ADOBE AFTER EFFECTS TRANSITIONS FULL
Trim the layer down to start at the same time as the Remote Morph layer and end when the full Soccer ball layer kicks in.Īs before, add a mask to the soccer ball in the Soccer Ball Morph layer.Īgain, animate the Mask Path property to have the mask follow the shape of the ball as precisely as possible for the duration of the morph effect. First, duplicate the layer and rename the copy to ‘Soccer Ball Morph’. Now repeat the same process for the Soccer Ball layer. Finally, and this is important, rename the mask to ‘Remote’ so we can easily identify it. You should end up with a number of keyframes on the Mask Path property and the mask should follow the shape of the remote as precisely as possible.
ADOBE AFTER EFFECTS TRANSITIONS HOW TO
If you don’t know how to do this, go check out my After Effects masking tutorial. Make sure this layer ends exactly when the soccer ball layer becomes visible.Īpply a mask to the remote control in my hand and animate the Mask Path property so the mask follows the movement of the remote.
For this, duplicate the Remote layer, rename this copy to ‘Remote Morph’, and trim it down to the duration of the morph effect. The first thing to do however, is to morph the remote control in my hand into the soccer ball. We will clean up this transition as part if this tutorial. Also, since I did not manage to hold perfectly still, the position of my hands and arms does change slightly from one clip to the next. There will be an obvious cut where the remote control suddenly turns into the soccer ball. Try to align these two clips as best as you can for a seamless transition. Morphing One Object Into Anotherįirst off, import the clip you filmed into After Effects. Create two separate layers, one going up to the moment where your helper is replacing the object and the second one starting after the object has been replaced. I cut out the middle section where Celina pops up and replaces the remote with a soccer ball. The last step is to create a smooth transition between the remote and the soccer ball to really sell the morph effect! That is what I will teach you in this tutorial. After Celina has left the frame again I continue to move as if nothing had happened. Celina then comes into the scene and replaces the object in my hand while I try to hold perfectly still. As I spin my hand over the object I freeze all movement. In the intro sequence I am holding a TV remote and then, moving my right over it, it transforms into a soccer ball directly in my hands! A lot of people have asked me how I created the VFX for the intro of my popular Adobe After Effects morphing tutorial.
