MorphX is a BLAST! It works very well and isn't hard to figure out. When I first downloaded it, within 10 minutes I'd morphed a photo of my ex-wife when she was young and nubile into a vulture pulling the intestines from a carcass!
Dev - thanks for offering this as freeware!
Don't buy this software. It used to work fine years ago so I purchased it from the App Store but it doesn't work properly anymore, at least not in OS X 10.8.1. When saving a project as a QT movie, MorphX produces a black window without content.
I notified the developer twice but they don't seem to be willing to look into it.

Be sure to download the update to this program. If you run an older version on Tiger or later, the program will behave in strange ways! First it will generate a HUGE QuickTime file (what is supposed to be a 2.8 MB movie will become a 100 MB movie) and secondly, it will make your whole Mac run like it's in quicksand. If you think that Mac OSX can't crash you've got another think coming!
Properly updated, the program is easy to use and works nicely. Version 2.9.3 does have one bug that I've noticed: After zooming in the images, when you try to zoom back out, the images just scroll up, they don't zoom back out.
A tip if you want "longer" movies: Get QT Pro, and then turn on the "loop back and forth" feature when playing back your morph movie. Than the morph will play as long as you want!
Okay, this is an incredibly cool app! Works very well, slight problems with anti-aliasing, but apart from that it works incredibly well!
I've got to say, if I didn't think I could get in trouble for it, I'd show my morph from tony blair to george bush... Flawless.
It works with more than 10 frames, my movie is three seconds long and a 62 frame movie and it goes very smoothly.
Well worth the money... or no money as it may be :)
works fine, and the price is right, but wish you could more then make a 10-frame movie, that's one quick movie! and yes, there is some distortion, especially at the slowest speed, and i can almost hear my computer complaining "you are going to all of this trouble for a ten second (at most) flick?"
but if you are looking for something to play with give it a try, it might be fun. I'm using it with 10.3.2.
Lovely little program, especially as its free. It does try and distort the images sometimes, there seems to be little control but by prepping the images in photoshop first you can get some great results.
The movie files it churns out seem unstable and don't run right on my G4 (flickering, serious distortion) but mysteriously running the file through iMovie makes it run just fine.
So all in all, definitely worth the download even if it took a bit of fiddling to get top notch results.
V. 2.7.1 it doesn't work at all! what happened?.
I shouldn't have trashed the previews version before testing this new one. . duh! >_< all i get is a brown screen every time i render the images, and yes, i do have the newest everything regarding my OS.
Couldn't get MorphX2.6.1 to work at all on OSX10.2.6 with QT Player 6.4. Put in start and finish jpegs, tried the Morph Preview (which didn't work), and saved it as a movie. The movie did save, but QT just shows a black screen. Instructions didn't offer any clues.
What gives?
Please put together a version for those of us not using OSX yet. I advise a computer art club and the computers cannot run OSX at this time.
I have OSX at home and love your program. I know my students would take it and run with it!
This is a phenomenal program. Many thanks to Martin Werrnerberg for making it available free. I have seen peoples jaws drop when they see morphs created by MorphX incorporated in video projects.
Excellent little application. I am a Multimedia and Graphic Artist. I will continue to play around with this program for years. Thanks, Martin, for the fun App!!
It Is So Cool
i use it to make clan pictures for my clan, "Animated pictures" like my head shape-shifting into the clan logo :D
This Program is a Must Have
This program is both unique and excellent. It provides an intuitive and accurate method of morphing from one image to another, and the author is responsive to queries and requests. To top it all off - open source, so you can learn how, be sure the code is not going to disappear one day, and maybe even modify it and contribute yourself!
