Motion 4 Tutorial: Morphing In Motion Using Optical Flow (The Poor Man's Morph)

[TheGoldenCamera]

Can you do this with video clips?

[krautmouse]

@TheGoldenCamera I would also like to know this

[staffiy]

where did you get that wallpaper for background i love it?!

[ShakespeareAvenue]

why did you vanish??

[JaysonX5]

LOL you got it from Mark and Mark got it from Zak Peric If I recall correctly... geez I'm old.

[MichaelChin1994]

How come when I do it it only blends the pics together, no morphing :(

(PLEASE HELP)

[primarycolorsvideo]

Weird it works WITHIN MOTION but when I pull the project into a Final Cut Pro sequence, it doesn't render the effect, it just jump cuts to each image!

[benghaith]

I can't let go of Shake! I love it dearly!! Apple dissicion of abanding Shake just broke my heart!! Can you guaranty me that Mation has everything Shake had... Thank you

[bigkamo]

Looking forward to playing with this. So many possibilities. Thank you!

[nicodiabolo4life]

hey great tutorial!

2 problems for me though:

- I do rename the files I want to use in sequencing but it's appearing on several sequences and not just one on motion

- Motion crashes every time I am setting the optical flow option

Can you please help me!

Thanks!

[peterlambros]

@nicodiabolo4life I am having the same problem - everytime I set Optical Flow motion crashes. I have tried with just 2 photos, 3, 4 etc, but each time the Optical Flow option is selected, CRASH!! Any ideas? I have checked the rest of the comments here but no one has replied if there is a workaround??? Peter-SydneyOZ

[dronniejshow]

i just want to say thank you. Please we need more of your videos.

[chunyuen93]

I don't know why, but Motion crashes every time i did this...

Any ideas?

[CAGESYLER1970]

WOW! Awesome! I'm just learning but these tutorials make me feel like a pro!!! Thanx!!!

[taniaalva]

Can I do the same effect using video?? I have tried it but Motion said that I have an error... How can i do it??

[albertledromadaire]

great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[elgrillu]

hey Thanks for the tutorials, I have a question when i select optical flow motion quits ?

i"m using HD pictures any light on this

[JaiOsee]

Can I make the same with motion 3 ?

Thanks for your tutoriat.

[ERXspot]

@GeekHeroIII WTF do you care, Emeek is kind enough to share his info with everyone, do you run a free tutorial youtube channel?

[AppleSoldier]

@zakperic i apologize, I will be more than happy to credit you for teaching me the technique, I seen it on macbreak so I mistakingly Said Marc Spencer. It was not intentional. IN the future I would be more than happy to give credit where credit was due.

[1BigBucks1]

Emeek went out of his way to give proper credit at the beginning. He made an honest mistake as to the original author but it wasn't malicious, so just lay off the flaming. It's a good video Meek, keep 'em coming.

[JDSpiderman3]

Hey Apple Soldier, forget all of these people, (the haters) they really don't appreciate your help, thank you for all of these videos, you are an excellent teacher, please keep on teaching, if they don't want their "videos" copied, then why do they post it on the internet! you rock apple soldier!

[AppleSoldier]

@JDSpiderman3 thank you, i am more than happy to credit my teacher and in no way meant to offend. Thanks for understanding. In the past I never credited my teachers because no one saw my vids and I never really thought about it. Now I guess so many people see them I need to think about that kind of stuff and will try to do so in the future. I hope Mr Peric was not to upset.

[LordV4derofcheem]

nice, for those of you with After Effects, check out Erin Sterns simple morph tutorial over at CreativeCow, the end result is slightly better than this.

[JunktionCrew]

everytime i select frame blending motion crashes. retail no pirated. imac 21.5" 4gram

[FullyDiminished7th]

excellent work sir!

[totalrecallvideos]

can you morph moving footage in the same way?

[CleverNameStudios]

Eric, could you give me some advice on how to get more subs? I've been making final cut express and blender 3d tutorials and it's getting annoying that I make these videos and put time and effort into theme and No one is watching them.

[pksmb1120]

@CleverNameStudios Something you may want to try is to post video responses to other peoples tutorials. Look for people who have a large viewing audience and post video responses to those.

[AppleSoldier]

@CleverNameStudios leave them as video responses to my tutorials. it will help

[supermaucat]

The tip is not from Mark Spencer but from Zak Peric of Embryo. Seriously, when you copy, at least attribute properly.

[AppleSoldier]

@supermaucat I seen this on macbreak from mark spencer so I never seen Zak Perics version, dont be so rude. I shared my source of information, im not trying to COPY or pass anything off as my own, so ease up cowboy.

[supermaucat]

@AppleSoldier Are you denying that you've ripped off another video from Mark Spencer? Go watch it again... who does Spencer give credit to for this technique? Oh yeah... Zak Peric.

When you call people trolls, you've already failed.

[Enteralterego]

@supermaucat Dude chill out, the purpose of these videos is to share knowledge and help people. I'm sure even Zak Peric wouldn't mind as it's just helping that knowledge get passed along so more people can improve their editing. It's a useful video and it's not like Eric tried to claim it as him own.

[AppleSoldier]

@Enteralterego thank you for that.

[TheOnlyRyanCA]

@supermaucat If your gonna hate on any video, before you do then just leave because no one wants your negative energy.

[AppleSoldier]

@supermaucat i apologize for upsetting you. I thought i stated at the beginning of this video that i got it from Mark Spencer, i do not intend to mislead or try and take credit as my own sir. If Mr. Peric deserves credit as well than he most certainly shall get it. If I must Ill inset his name into the description. Again i apologize if i offended.

[supermaucat]

@AppleSoldier Hey man, I'm sorry too if my comment upset you. I just had to point out that the whole technique came from a guy who I know from forums and he shared it freely with everyone and even Spencer gave him the credit. When I pointed that out, I thought that your comment implied that I was lying. Sorry for any misunderstanding! Take care bro.

[Kiteboarder27]

@supermaucat Wow! Why the hostility?

[13oct1992]

Great job, very good info, you have a very good sense of what you teach, is there anyway I could contact u for some questions, I'm willing to pay for your time.

[GadgetTrish]

I don't have motion 4 yet, but this is really something special

[CleverNameStudios]

[AppleSoldier]

@CleverNameStudios RIGHT, sorry about that.

[syb72]

Thanx! Cool trick.

[SebComedyShowTV]

Fantastic! You think u can make a tutorial with a Movie Like in: "Micheal Jackson, Black or white" ? It would be really cool

[kevinflory]
