For a movie im working on theres a transition where the charadter is in the woods, the camera spins around his head and then he is on a clif. Can this be created with a morphing program? and if so, which are the good morphing programs out there?

Any help would be apreciated, thanks

assuming you shot with morphing in mind, yes, it sounds like you could easily do it by morphing. Will it look realistic? It'll be tough, but possibly.

as for apps, I use after effects prod bundle for any morphing needs. There are, however, much cheaper--possibly free--standalone apps that'll do the job fine. What platform are you working on?

Im using Premier 6.0 and after effects 5.5 but i can hardly say iv mastered after effects. Can you morph with just the program and not the production bundle?

sorry, you need the "reshape" filter to do morphs. It only comes with PB.

here's a tutorial, just in case:

if it's a fast spin and the camera moves are similar and the switch occurs when the camrea is behind his head i think you'll be ok with a just a quick cross fade... morphs are hard.
