Morph (What's New in 2025.2)

Indicates a feature suggested and voted up by users on the Flame Feedback portal.

Use the Morph tool to morph together frames from two clips. This tool is useful to ease a transition or to apply a morphing effect.

Highlights include:

  • Available as a Batch node, a Timeline FX, and a Transition.
  • Motion Vectors and Machine Learning frame interpolation.
  • Set a range for the morphing effect in the Batch node.
  • The Freeze buttons, which can be used to morph only between frames that have been set as the First and/or Last Frames.

Conform

Transitions from Avid and DaVinci Resolve are conformed to a Morph transition in Flame.

Application Transition Exchange Format Result in Flame
Avid Fluid Morph AAF Morph Transition. Avid's Still and Stream options are conformed using the Freeze buttons.
DaVinci Resolve Smooth Cut AAF Cut.
DaVinci Resolve Smooth Cut XML Morph Transition.
Adobe Premiere Pro MorphCut AAF Dissolve.
Adobe Premiere Pro MorphCut XML Dissolve.

Workflow

The playback and scrubbing of unrendered frames is more interactive in the Timeline environment due to the Player option available in the Morph Preferences. By default, scrubbing and playback show a dissolve effect instead of the result of the Morph node.

The options are:

Select To
Result on Scrub / Play Always display the result of the Morph node.
Dissolve on Scrub Display a dissolve instead of the Morph node's result while scrubbing in a clip.
Dissolve on Play Display a dissolve instead of the Morph node's result while you are playing back a clip.
Dissolve on Scrub / Play Display a dissolve while you are scrubbing or playing back a clip.
Note: When one of Dissolve on Scrub, Dissolve on Play, or Dissolve on Scrub / Play is selected, frames are not rendered while scrubbing or playing back even if the Player's Cache on Playback option is enabled.
