The example of the cube turning into a square was cool to begin with, but the change in background combined with scale realy made it great. Wow! Thanks for the tutorial.
Wow. This is a very nice and easy to use technique. I saw people making such transitions many times, but never knew how they do it so smoothly. Thank you for this video.
If you like your null objects green, you can always go to preferences-->labels and assign the color of your null objects to green. This way you don't have to do it manually every time you create a null.
for layers that already exist in the project panel, there's also a column where you can change the label color so any time you drop it into a comp it will show that color. you might have to toggle that column on or extend the width of the project panel to see it.
Like, dude, at least come up with a match cut between something other than a match and a sword - that’s literally straight from the Ben Marriott course.
Hey, ty a lot for your videos man. There is not so much videos on your channel as I would wish, but each of ur tutorials is a diamond. Ive made my first motion graphic video by using this technique and fell in LUV when Ive first see it!
This was an excellent tutorial. I just learned this and I can already say that this is the most important technique I've learned to date. You are awesome! :)
Wow, what an awesome technique. I can use it in 3d animations as well. I didn't know this technique, and I always wondered how can I achieve these results as you showed at the end. And thanks to you I now know. This technique is so powerful. Thank you 🙏🏾
I do mention in this video that he came up with the match-to-sword idea first (something I noticed on his Instagram while I was producing the video...was an honest mistake in this case). However, the content in this video is all my own...I did not copy one of his videos. Which video of his are you referring to out of interest?
Thanks!!, you showed perfectly what I’ve been trying to figure out when watching the first motion example for Microsoft you showed at the end! First time I saw it I was like *wait what* , now imma go do mine
uhh this is exactly the same concept that Ben Marriott uses for his paid masterclass, from the match and the sword, making a match cut...is this inspired by his tutorial ??
Thanks for asking! I noticed this on his social media after already creating these assets but decided to go ahead with it...I do give him credit for the match - sword idea!
Initially, I didn't find the effect particularly appealing. However, as you incorporated more accessories, it began to make sense, and I believe I will consider it moving forward. It's a fantastic and straightforward trick that will enhance the fluidity of my work. Thank you very much! ♥
I´m so glad the algorithm put this video on my path! XD that was really greaaat advice! I had already forgotten that cuts are the most easy and effective way of transitioning, even on animation. Subscribed!
my trick for the match cut trans is to align the 2 clips together, then keyframe the opacity of the 1st clip 100-0, precomp them then add whatever transitions u want
This is fantastic, thank you! I'll be honest, when I saw the preview img I immediate thought, didn't Ben Marriot do a match already? So the shoutout was nice. :D
My way of using After Effects seems to be similar to using Premiere. I urgently need to learn either how to completely switch my work to Premiere or how to properly use After Effects.
I you are doing motion graphics work in premiere you will find that learning after effects will make a massive improvement...even easing and working with the graph editor in premier is very clunky and slow....
Good question! So, you don't really need to use the null, but I just think it's a cleaner workflow that also allows you to animate the properties of the child layers separately. So, with the null included, I could decide to add some extra movement to the position/rotation/scale, etc. on the child layer but if I didn't have the null, once I animated the first layer and the parented the next, I would be stuck with the animation of the first layer...I hope what I am saying makes sense, let me know if not!
Match cut and morphs are two completely different things, so don't use words you don't understand... morphing is VFX term and match cut is editing term, first involves picture manipulation and the other is just a basic cut.
My favorite is the one after the animated Yahoo or Y. The unfolding scroll animation was fire. There are a couple of others on the same level of WOW! Can you share where I can find those other examples?
Thanks for the suggestion! This is a fairly old vid at this point and my audio setup was not great so that is largely responsible for the low quality...and adobe podcast was not actually around at that point 😅
If I do this with multiple objects do I need multiple null objects? Say the match turns into a sword, then the sword turns into something else. Sorry, new to this.
No, you just have to repeat the steps with the new object. Add the object, move the null, place object behind, parent new object, find the fastest point and trim the clips.
Thanks for the tutorial... But I have a question, when I try from right to left everything goes fine, but when I try to do it from left to right I can't, it changes all the positions and when I connect the layers to the null object, everything stays otherwise, I can't do the rotation and even without it, one of the objects disappears completely... Can you help me?
This is hard to problem solve without seeing your setup...sounds like it could be something to do with you Null animation and perhaps the location or anchor point of that null. My best suggestion would be to start from scratch and create a new null to drive your animation. Make sure you change the location of your null to the anchor point of your Right object because if it is located at your left object you will have problems. Let me know if you come right!
Thanks for this, extremely helpful and just subscribed! Is there a way to make the morph on a static object without the whole thing moving? Eg a phone morphing into a laptop? (without changing the shape)
Which tutorial? I do actually give him a shout out for coming up with the match to sword transition as this is something I noticed after already creating the assets for this tutorial...honest mistake. However, the rest of the tutorial is all my own content.
@Ben Marriot inspired , Noice. and we didnt see the match into a sword???? edit : I rewatched and its easy to miss as the timestamps dont fully section into chapters Like 6:26 is what I came for , and I didnt see it in the first 10 seconds or there wasnt a timestamp for it either only timestamps were: 1. Intro till 1:00 2. Basic Shape Moprh till 4:31 3.Example 1 ( which contained 2 and didnt have a seperate end result chapter at 6:26) till 8:00 4. Whole Scene till 11:00 5. Outro

If you like your null objects green, you can always go to preferences-->labels and assign the color of your null objects to green. This way you don't have to do it manually every time you create a null.
Thats an awesome tip! Thanks! Just did it now...never looking back!
for layers that already exist in the project panel, there's also a column where you can change the label color so any time you drop it into a comp it will show that color. you might have to toggle that column on or extend the width of the project panel to see it.

This is the best video I have seen on morphing. Thank you
That is really nice to hear! Thanks for the comment!
You are so generous with sharing your knowledge of motion design techniques... I have watched almost all your videos. - A Grateful Subscriber.
Used this technique on my latest project, it's so smooth and so easy and you can apply this to almost anything that don't match much with each other
Awesome to hear! It really is versatile!
This was an excellent tutorial. I just learned this and I can already say that this is the most important technique I've learned to date. You are awesome! :)
amazing tutorial 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 a small recommendation is to add a smear frame this will help smooth and blend the transition while its morphing 👌🏻
Completely agree! I love smears so you don't have to tell me twice!
La verdad es que no se inglés, y no sé lo que dice, pero entiendo y comprendo perfectamente lo que realiza, sin necesidad de escuchar.
Muchas gracias!

Spot on! I'm glad you got some value from the tut!
technique is literally everywhere. definitely a big trend of 2023 and 2024. like when everyone use link transitions. haha
what is link transition?
This is just a rip off of a Ben Marriott video. He even makes a match stick change into a sword in his video as well.

so simple, yet so effective! thank you very much for this tutorial.
WOW is so clear with your tuto about Match Cuts! thanks keep share your techniques. Thanks
Good to hear it! I will keep it up! thank you!
Thanks for sharing your tutorial video.❤❤❤
one of the best tutorials i've ever seen , NICE !
Such high praise is deeply appreciated! Thanks Ahmadreza!
Thanks!!, you showed perfectly what I’ve been trying to figure out when watching the first motion example for Microsoft you showed at the end! First time I saw it I was like *wait what* , now imma go do mine

You are a GOATTTTTTT my friend! I had this idea but it was dead on my head, you brought it back to life. Thank you!!
I'm glad this helped you get your idea it back into reality! That is all I could ask for!
You should check out Ben Marriott’s tutorials. This guy took everything from Ben’s motion design course, including the sword to match transition.
I love this channel!
I am From Kazakhstan ans to be gateful to u :>🎉
Hey, i love this tutorial... thanks for opening my eyes, i'm a newbie..
So, good to hear...that eye opening moment is exactly what I had when I learnt this technique so I'm glad it was the same for you!
whouaou, je suis bluffé, bravo !
Fantastic. Seems such a simple concept but how cool does it look.
You hit the nail on the head...thats how I felt when I first learnt it! Thanks for the comment
my trick for the match cut trans is to align the 2 clips together, then keyframe the opacity of the 1st clip 100-0, precomp them then add whatever transitions u want
whatever gets the job done 👌😉
I feel that some motion or just directional blur would really help sell this. Great video!
Agreed! I like to stay away from motion blur...smears on the other hand...LFG!
Another trick to use, so awesome and your tutorial is straightforward. So thankful I stumbled upon your channel💯
Thanks for the kind words!
wow, what an eye opener, you just got a new subscriber MotionXP

GREAT video. Will use in my own motion graphics at the office.
Thanks! Good to hear that!

Thanks man!!!
Why did u use a Null object in the second example unlike in the first one where you parent the upper layer?
Good question! So, you don't really need to use the null, but I just think it's a cleaner workflow that also allows you to animate the properties of the child layers separately. So, with the null included, I could decide to add some extra movement to the position/rotation/scale, etc. on the child layer but if I didn't have the null, once I animated the first layer and the parented the next, I would be stuck with the animation of the first layer...I hope what I am saying makes sense, let me know if not!
why when i parent my circle to the cube it doesn't do anything
Just make sure you are pickwhipping from the "parent and link" colument in AE and not the "track matte" column. Let me know if you come right!
great job. subscribed

I included the name of the studios and animation for each example so if you google those you should find the goods!
You should use Adobe's Podcast Audio to improve the quality of your voice, and raise the levels a bit as well.
Thanks for the suggestion! This is a fairly old vid at this point and my audio setup was not great so that is largely responsible for the low quality...and adobe podcast was not actually around at that point 😅

and we didnt see the match into a sword????
edit : I rewatched and its easy to miss as the timestamps dont fully section into chapters
Like 6:26 is what I came for , and I didnt see it in the first 10 seconds or there wasnt a timestamp for it either
only timestamps were:
1. Intro till 1:00
2. Basic Shape Moprh till 4:31
3.Example 1 ( which contained 2 and didnt have a seperate end result chapter at 6:26) till 8:00
4. Whole Scene till 11:00
5. Outro
I hear you and I appreciate the edit to clarify!
what about mask transformation with path key frames
Isn't this originally a Ben Marriott tutorial? 🤔
