Blend morph is an action on one layer. You can have more then one blend morph but all of them can only be the first frame of an Action.

To make an Action you need to click on the Window tap or ctrl+k to open.

Next is to click on New Action and rename it, or not. Notice that actions start on frame ONE not zero. Change the layer, move points, scale or even move the layer its self. But do not add extra frames. Once you have all the actions that you want, go back to the main line. All those keys will disappear.

Now to apply the Blend morphs you need past frame zero, or frame 1 or more. Ctrl+shift+b.

If you need to apply more than one frame in your actions, example: I have an eye blink that is 5 raster pictures, covering the eye, or nine frames. I have them in an action, then apply a reference any time I want an eye blink. I can not use a Blend morph because it is over one frame.

Hi, it's my video, what I mean is that I had made several 1 frame actions with the character, for instance, moving ears, eyes, head arms, etc. When I have made thoose actions, I use Blend Morph to blend all different movements at my likeing, so for a head turn I blend ear, head moyth etc actions so it will look ok, using Blend Morph.

Look for actions on tutorial. Once you understand actions, the only thing you must do is make 1 frame actions, then blend them.

I have a file example which is working with blend morph and with actions. I was planning to make a video tutorial for this specific character, but in spanish. Sadly I have no time this days to make it.

Anyway, inside the file I made a little tutorial using note layers.

I hope the file be helpful.

Thanks to Selgin for this file. It made me completely understand Blend Morphs!

Shouldn't the dramatic title of this thread not be changed to something more appropiate, like 'How to Blend Morphs'? I only clicked on it in my search results because I was curious why someone was screaming for "any" help.
