Working with the Morph Composer

The Morph Composer is a video editor using which you can compose a single movie out of many separate elements. A composition created using the MorphComposer can include any of the following elements.

1. Morph projects created by WinMorph itself.
2. Individual images.
3. Individual AVI (video) files.

The steps to follow to create a new composition are

1. Create all the morph projects required and also gather the images and AVI files.
2. Choose File>New>Composer project to create a new composer project.
3. Add the elements one by one, by choosing Compose>Add.
4. Modify the properties of the individual elements (see below for details).
5. Choose Compose>Options to specify the output file name/type and the output movie parameters.
6. Choose Compose>Morph or Compose>Preview to create the morph movie.

Let us take that the movie you want to create must have 50 frames totally, and is 320 x 240 pixels in size (you specify these in the Compose>Options dialog). You can use any number of elements to create this movie using the Composer. First, gather the elements (images, AVI files and Morph projects required), then create a new Composer project and add all the elements into the new composer project.

For each morph added, a horizontal ‘bar’ is displayed in the Composer, with the name of the morph project on the left of the ‘bar’. To select a morph sequence, just click on the corresponding ‘bar’. Each morph sequence in the Composer has the following properties:

1. The starting and ending frames.
2. The position (x & y) of the morph in the output movie.
3. The transparent colour.
4. The transparency percentage value.
5. Other miscellaneous properties.

To learn more about these properties, take a look at the topic Properties of an element in the Composer.
