I'm your 1000th like

[@KourasmenosGR]

There's a problem, object position and anchor is changing during morphing...is there a fix?

[@cyberhustles]

Yeah I just found one that works for me.
You have to make sure all anchor points are set to ( 0,0 ) on both shapes. Note that both shape layers have 2 transform panels - 1 for shape and 1 for layer - make sure ALL anchor points are set to 0,0.
Also make sure that the scale is the same for both layers. Let me know if that works for you.

[@user-zt9qv4cs5o]

Yes, and nobody is mentioning that! 😂 Igor advice helped.

Teşekkür ederim .

[@quizholo]

thanks

[@Jayysam95]

This tutorial was very easy to understand, would the process be the same for morphing text into PNG?

[@danielelagha6755]

thanks michael. can we even make this work for shapes we paste into after effects? or will it then be something different.

[@zimmmerit6308]

[@GuilhermeGarnierGarnier]

[@cbcsurvivalguide]

Can this be used to morph vectors as well such as two different people eg. fat to skimmy person?

[@BeansGalaxy]

the tutorial was so fast I missed it and had to go back. I was expecting you to still be setting up your project.

[@mesqueunclubb]

I want to convert from star to heart as I do is for a school work helps !!!

[@mehrdadirani978]

Hello
I have a problem, after placing the anchor point of the second shape in the desired place, the shapes are morphed by changing the displacement, while I have not moved the position at all.

[@yanahancharova]

Same

[@eduborrell6166]

When I do the morphing they go to a random position and Idk what I have to change, anyone ?

[@next4_2]

Good

[@kwyjibo02]

The shapes keep moving and I cant stop it. Even after setting all anchor points to 0,0. Followed everything in the vid but I get different results??
Edit: I can get it working when both shapes are on the same layer, but not when both shapes are on different layers like the tutorial.
Edit2: I got it working by lining up all anchor points and positions of both the layer and shape properties but it took many more steps than this (great) tutorial. When lining up the properties, it took both shapes completely off screen and I had to drag them back together! Weird, but got there eventually.

[@kevinjlakner]

hey I having some troubles, The shape dont morph in the same place, always in a different position, why is that happening?

[@SoheilRt]

[@starsbythepocketful.]

will it work the same way if i animate stick figures?

[@Moonthre]

Can I morph shapes imported from photoshop?

[@youarentme5126]

i can't find the fill and stroke option??

[@dfxasv7675]

Hi guys... Tell me is it only usable for simple objects like a star and a ring or it is the same technique for complex shapes, like icones, characters or anything cplex.... Thanks for sharing

[@joshuaspruett]

I'm currently trying to figure out how to do this if you have more than one path in a shape.

[@dfxasv7675]

@@joshuaspruett I would be glad to keep the touch with you and see if succedded in this super mission. Thanks for all

[@HendAlMansour]

Looks great, but when I tried to do it the "Convert to Besier Path" command was grayed out. For the life of me I could not figure out how to make it work!!

[@user-fl5ct9hi1m]

same :/ idk what to do ive searched stuff up for the last few hours

[@evelynschepens]

Just tried it for some more complicated shapes (a square with pieces angles out and a circle) and it doesn't work, it makes weird shapes all over the place...

[@octanefx3228]

while doing this the positions are getting messed up , the shape is morphing but it moves to different position. Even after we recentre it, it goes on the other direction.
HELP ME PLEASE

[@alyssafavorito4963]

Look at comment above about anchor points. SAme thing happened to me because I wasn't zeroing out the shape AND layer anchor points.

[@FragMentt]

Doesnt work for simple line shape =(

[@markovaall]

For me, Bezier path is always unactive. Why is it that? no matter what I do it's off...

[@datuzii4147]

Same thing happened to me if your shape was from illustrator then it's already Bezier path active.

[@user-ux8bo2fv3f]

What would I do without you?

[@shamirareddy754]

No after right click its not giving tht option. Plss tell guyshow to do this

[@TheWereouttothewoods]

I am having the same issue. On current version of AE "convert to bezier path" is grayed out for some reason... trying to look into a fix.

[@shamirareddy754]

@@TheWereouttothewoods it would only work if u make a shape with pentool in new shape layer,, try once

[@lmy222]

​@@TheWereouttothewoods Im a little late but I just had the same problem and it was because I had to go one more step down to next path to convert it to bezier

[@user-dc7ls7pv2q]

دخلت درس مصري وفعد يتفلسف نص ساعة ولا فهمت وذا من دقيقتين وصل الفكرة. شكرا

[@danielchutin2439]

This only works for predetermined shapes, otherwise this is usless.

[@mrglowtm]

That's not true, it works with custom polygons as well.
