Animating a Morphing Sequence

To animate a morphing sequence:

1. In the Morph window, click Animate on the Morphing toolbar. The Animate Morph window is displayed.

2. Specify the options and parameters.
   
   To cancel the animation, click Cancel. The Animate Morph window closes, enabling you to adjust the images in the morphing sequence.

   Number of Frames

   Enter the length of the animation in frames. For example, because animation is generated at 15 frames per second, a 30-frame length will run for 2 seconds.

   Number of frames to pad at end

   Enter the number of frames to hold the animation at the end. The final image is displayed for the specified number of frames, enabling you to view the final morphing result.

   Output Animation File Size

   Select the final video size, in pixels, from the drop-down list.

   Because standard video sizes are much smaller than standard image sizes, select a small output size to greatly reduce the rendering time.

   Strength

   Enter a value to specify the intensity of the morphing effect. A low value results in an extreme effect; a high value results in a subtle effect.

   Falloff

   Enter a value to specify the degree of falloff effect in the animation.

   Falloff gradually decreases the intensity of the morphing effect at the edges of the images. Set the falloff at 1 to decrease the effect more abruptly. Set the falloff at 5 to decrease it more subtly.

3. Click OK. The animated sequence is displayed as a movie.
