How to create a morph transition

The Morph Transition creates a fun metamorphosis effect by analyzing the content in one clip and blending it into the content of the next clip. You can customize how the morph transition occurs by setting a guideline for each clip to help determine the area of focus for the transition, such as a horizon line. Morph transitions work best between clips that have similar reference points and clips that are the same dimensions.
