Morph

Turns the module’s image into a second picture as Amount goes from 0 to 1. The second picture comes from an AUX bus: send another module to a bus, then choose that bus in Into.

Parameter	Control	Range	Notes
Into	Selector	AUX 1 to AUX 8	The bus whose picture this image turns into. A thumbnail shows the bus. When no module to the left sends to it, the panel warns and the image passes through. Default AUX 1. Not a modulation target: it is routing, like FEEDBACK’s Input source.
Style	Selector	Warp, Noise, Light, Dark, Radial, Wipe	How one picture becomes the other. Can be modulated: it switches half way between styles. Default Warp.
Amount	Trough	0 to 1	0 is the module’s own image, 1 is the AUX picture. Default 0.5.
Strength	Trough	0 to 0.5	Warp only. How far the pictures flow while they change, in frame heights.
Follow	Trough	0 to 1	Warp only. 0 swirls freely; 1 moves the shapes of this image toward the matching shapes in the AUX picture.
Size	Trough	0.02 to 2	Warp and Noise. The size of the swirls and of the noise pattern, in frame heights.
Speed	Trough	0 to 4 Hz	Warp and Noise. How fast the swirls and the pattern move. 0 keeps them still. Can be shown as the time one cycle takes.
Softness	Trough	0 to 1	Dissolve styles. How soft the edge between the two pictures is. 0 is a hard edge.
Angle	Dial	-180 to 180 degrees	Wipe only. The direction the wipe travels; 0 runs from left to right.

At Amount 0 the image is unchanged, and at 1 it is exactly the AUX picture, whatever the style. Only the rows the chosen style uses are shown.

Styles

• Warp makes both pictures flow along the same currents while one fades into the other. The flow is strongest half way and settles at both ends. With Follow up, the flow pushes the light and dark areas of this image toward where the AUX picture has them, which works best when both pictures show the same subject, such as two takes of one scene.
• Noise lets the AUX picture show through a cloudy pattern that fills in as Amount rises.
• Light and Dark change the light or the dark parts of this image first.
• Radial grows the AUX picture from the middle of the frame outward.
• Wipe sweeps the AUX picture in along Angle.

Perfect loops

Morph follows the Perfect loop clock. The swirls and noise repeat once per Speed cycle, and the loop check offers Snap when Speed does not fit a whole number of cycles into the loop.

Recipes

• Morph between two videos. Add two SOURCE modules. In the first, load video B and add a send to AUX 1 in its SENDS section. In the second, load video A, set Blend to Replace, and add Morph to its Insert FX with Into on AUX 1. Drag Amount, or route an LFO or a macro to it. Keep the B module to the left of the A module: a send carries everything composited up to that point, so the bus must be fed before Morph reads it.
• Beat dissolve. Choose Noise, route a square LFO synced to the beat to Amount, and set Softness around 0.3 for a cloudy cut on every bar.
• Liquid crossfade. Choose Warp with Follow at 0, Strength around 0.2 and Size around 0.3, then sweep Amount slowly.
