Morphing with Smart warp
Posted: Mon Sep 19, 2016 1:16 pm
I was curious whether this can be done with the smart warp and yes it can.Way I did it might not be the best but anyway here it is.
Load your first image.Create a smartwarp layer over the image and make sure you get all the features in the image(eyes,mouth,nose).Load in the second image,go to the last frame and move the points of the smart warp to match the second image.
Make a copy of the smart warp layer then copy the last key frame of the smart warp layer and copy it to the frame 0.This way you have 2 smart warps layers that match the 2 image layers on frame zero.Go to the settings of each image and tick 'Allow animated layer effects' then set the Opacity to 100% on first key frame and 0% on the last for the first image and vice versa for the second image(0% first,100% last).Make sure you assign the right Smart warp with the right image.
If there are better ways or unnecessary steps I'm taking let me know but this did achieve the result I was after.
