Morphing Program

I want to create a program to to morph at least two images into one another, I have seen some algorithms but am really struggling as I dont know how to get started and I also dont know how to apply the algorithms in java.
For each pixel X in the destination image
find the corresponding u,v
find the X' in the source image for that u,v
destinationImage(X) = sourceImage(X')
[

How to go about applying the algorithm.
I have created Java GUI's in swing in the past but nothing of to this extent, I have seen Laxmi Narayana .Kota's morphing program at http://javaboutique.internet.com/Morph/source.html but cant seem to understand it. I dont know what algorithm he's used.
Thank You

Morph Age MOV files crashing Final Cut Pro

Hello folks,
I wonder if anyone here has used .MOV files created by Morph Age (the morphing program). I have some sequences to use in a project and I just loaded the first one. Well, every single time I try to render it FC goes into a fine crash!
The mov file is 5 seconds long and 142.2Mb and plays fine in QuickTime.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ismenio

Thanks for the tip Tom. I'll check that out. In the meantime, I have this update:
1. I just got word from support saying that the output size can be changed: main document window, right column, document section (I can't check that now because of the crash)
2. The crash seems to be related to Mac OS X 15.5.5 they said. They're working on a fix.
I'll look at MorphX! Also, I found a 'work around' that's very long but helped me get the clips to work. Here it goes in case it can help someone else but remember I'm a newbie and there's probably a better way of doing it.
1. I imported each individual clip in an iMovie project and exported it (took me a while to figure it out it was under the 'Share' menu!) using QuickTime Export - then the HD1080i60 codec
2. Imported that clip into an individual, temporary, FCP project, did my edit (I had to change the speed of the clip as it was going to match a beat to a song) and exported it as a QT file
3. Created a new FCP project just for the morph sequence, imported all the clips from step 2 and it worked!
Thanks,
Ismenio

Effect NeededL Still photo to 3D animation

Hi Everyone,
I've recently seen two amazing applications that produce an effect that I'm trying to incorporate into an FCE 3.5 sequence. One is called motion portrait, the other is Fage Gen Modeller. Both PC apps. In essence, what they do is to take a 2d still image of a face, and let the user convincingly manage facial expressions just by mapping a few points. This is exactly what I need for a sequence I'm working on. Does anyone have any leads for a similar Mac based app? Thanks! Sorry if this is a tiny bit afield from FCE.

You probably want a morph program.
I tried MorphX (see http://www.norrkross.com/software/morphx/download.php) a free program that creates movie files that can be imported into FCE. Simple to use.

After Effects CS5 crashes when I make a selection in the destination field of BCC Morph plug-in

Steps to reproduce bug:
1.Open AE
2.Create a composition
3.Import photos (.png)
4.Put photos on timeline
5. Add BCC Morph from Effects&Presets BCC7 OpenGL to first photo on timeline
6. Select Source Unwarped in Render Mode field
7. Select 2nd photo in Destination field
Results: AE crashes
Error messages displayed for several attempts:
A.Crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in BCC last logged message 4424, 4604
B.Crash in progress. Last logged message was : <5000> <DynamicLink><5> C:\ Program Files (x86) \Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink/CS5/dynamiclinkmanager.exe
C. AE can't continue: sorry AE has crashed. See www.adobe.com/support/products/aftereffects.html for know issues (0 :: 42)
Expected results:
Able to continue selecting options (setup the duration of the Morph by adding a key frame using the Key Marker)
What I've tried so far:
- I verified I have the latest version of After Effects
- I Removed the OpenGL plug-in from the After Effects plug-ins folder and After Effect still crashed
- My PC meets the minimum requirements for After Effects
- My video card driver is the most current the manufacture has available to date
Video information: NVIDIA, GeForce GTX 480, driver ver 266.58
Prod Name: After Effects CS5

When I try to open an embedded PDF file I get an error "The program used to create this object is AcroExch.exe.

When I try to open an embedded PDF file (Word doc) I get an error "The program used to create this object is AcroExch.exe. That program is either not installed on your computer, or is corrupt..." I've tried about everything from unchecking
protected mode at startup to removing & reinstalling Adobe. Nothing seems to fix this issue. Any other ideas?
This is happening on Adobe reader 9, 10 & 11 with MS Word 2010 & 2013. I've uninstalled, cleaned & reinstalled Reader 9, 10 & 11, as well as Acrobat 10 Pro & 11 Standard. Removed "Protected mode at startup, and changed
the default program for viewing from reader to Acrobat. This will not go away. It is affecting production at our company.

" Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder" . i can't find open containing folder in profile directory. it does give me the option to open the places.sqlite file using graphic converter. when i try that, graphic converter gives me a window saying that it can't be opened because it is corrupted or is not a file type supported by graphic converter.
i appreciate your help with a workaround to get the old bookmarks. that works. however, the problem has morphed from that concern to why adobe reader [the default app.] won't open firefox .sqlite files. is the problem in adobe reader or firefox? also, how can i tell if the places.sqlite file is corrupt?
i'm getting in over my head here and do appreciate your help.

Why is skype the worst program I have ever laid my...

This program is such a **bleep**ing joke. Every single time skype updates it does the exact opposite of "improving my experience". I have no idea how my favorite messenger program has morphed into this peice of absolute garbage that I'm dealing with now. It started with updates only adding advertisements, now with skypes new update that was COMPLETELY forced by the way it is almost unusable at this point. I've noticed recently that closing skype made my game counter-strike:global offensive run without any lag, and all the lag that was being caused was from skype, how is it a single program can lag my entire computer, how could the design of a program be so awful. Now I cannot "find" any messages sent or received. I have changed no computer setting, I have not changed any skype setting this all happen from it's own updates alone. Messages literally load in random order, it loads all my msgs in the past week or something and puts new msgs somewhere scrambled in with them in all different areas (never places the newsest messages at the bottom). I just now woke up and noticed skype was updating, it had been all night that means and it made my computer run stressfully all night whilst not accomplishing any update and failing to stop itself from trying to update more. I actually literally had to reset my router which I rarely have to do b/c skype updates knocked my internet off. This program is a **bleep**ing joke and will die as soon as something better comes along, anyone using an altnerative already?

It doesn't help to change the clock back to correct time. When the clock was wrong, the sent/received messages were labelled with the wrong time and are now misplaced. The only what you can do now is either to clear the whole chat history or to try to correct the wrong timestamp of the misplaced messages or just delete them.

Anyone know How to Morph an object in Z space?

Hello,
I have an odd problem. I am trying to morph an object in 3D space in after effects.
I was wanting something like the puppet tool but that does not seem to be working in Z space.
Here is a few pictures of the character I am trying to morph. I basically want him to move like a fish.

Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Freeform would be pretty much your only option for an interactively deformable 3D entity in AE. Everything else will require a genuine 3D program or buying plug-ins.

Sculpture morph patterns

Once a morph pattern is created in Sculpture, is it possible to create a loop inside scultpure rather than retriggering the whole "patch" from the midi keyboard? I know that I can convert to audio, put in EXS and create a loop. But can it be done in Sculpture itself. I may have missed it, but I didn't see that in the owner's manual tutorial.
Thanks so much

The answer is........yes you can! Took me a few days but I figured it out.
I know negative comments about Logic and Apple products are forbidden on this site and I'm not being negative oh great webmaster. I'm just curious...
How many Logic 7.X users actually use sculpture? It's truly the main reason I work with the program and am curious what others think about. Try to make negative comments sound positive — Spin it baby like Karl Rove!

Morphing images using FCE

Hello,
Is there anyway besides using the fade-in, fade-out transition that I can morph some pictures using FCE?
If not, how can I accomplish that.......I have about 36 pictures that need morphing into one-another......what will be a good solution?
Thanks for your time and effort,
Chase
Ipod Mini Other OS I also have a emac (os-?)

Questions about morphing in FCE occur periodically.
There is a free program but I don't know how good it is.

Java 3D is fully functioning on my pc, so it isn't a case of java3d being missing.
Can anyone help explain? Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

A method or (in this case it seems) a class being deprecated is nothing to worry about. All it means is that it is strongly advised that you not use this method/class because they have made something better to use. It also means that support for the method/class is no longer available from the makers and that they will soon be discontinuing the method/class.
In the case of the Morph class, you can still use it, but it may not be there in the next version or two. If you want to stop those compile warnings, then you can stick this somewhere (before the method that uses the Morph, I think):
@SuppressWarnings("unused")Using that will Suppress further Warnings of any "unused" (read "no longer supported/deprecated") classes or methods. And in your next program, see if you can find a replacement for the Morph class.

MORPHING IMAGES ON FCE

Hello,
Does anyone know a program that will be fast and easy to morph about 35 pictures and the result could go on FCE?
Thanks,
Chase

Hi there
I was looking for the same thing and found the following that might help you. I haven't qualified any though. Hope that helps.

Interfacing LabVIEW with Meta Morph Journal

Hi
I'm just starting a project where I must fully automate an experiment involving a microscope and a microfluidics manifold. I am planning to use LabVIEW to control the manifold and Meta Morph Journal to program the motions of the microscope stage and I'm wondering if it's possible to interface the two (i.e. have one talk to the other to coordinate the actions).
Thanks

Hi Shaheen,
You can get started by followind this tutorial which explains how to add your instrument so that MAX can see it and establish communication with the device.

Hi, I'm doing a poor man's morph project on my motion 4 . It works perfect while on motion , but when I try to import it to tcp it will transfer the photos but not the optical flow fx. what am I doing wrong?

Hi I don't know if I was able to send this question before but here it goes again. I'am doing a poor man's morph project on my motion 4 program, and it works great while in Motion, but once I try to import it to fcp, it will import the photos but not the optical flow fx, what am I doing wrong? I appreciate you help

Decided to use cmd A to select all the icons on the desktop and then looked for a right click option. There it was - the option to move to a folder. I now have them all in this folder which tells me it holds 157 items. Now you know why I needed to know LOL
Thought it might be of help to someone.
Cheers Mally

Problem with threads, program always crash

new to threads, may be doing something COMPLETELY wrong. When I run the program I get a couple of NullPointerExceptions in Thread-0 and Thread-1. I'm confused because it screws up when I call size() for arrayList, and in the API size doesn't throw anything.
public class ProducerConsumerRunner
   public static void main(String args[])
      Queue q = new Queue(QUEUE_MAX_SIZE);
      ProducerRunnable producer = new ProducerRunnable(q, ITERATIONS);
      ConsumerRunnable consumer = new ConsumerRunnable(q, ITERATIONS);
      //works good up to here
      Thread t1 = new Thread(producer);
      Thread t2 = new Thread(consumer);
      t1.start();
      t2.start();
   private static int ITERATIONS = 50;
   private static int QUEUE_MAX_SIZE = 25;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.concurrent.locks.ReentrantLock;
public class Queue {
     public Queue(int maxSize)
          list = new ReentrantLock();
          underLimit = list.newCondition();
          MAX_SIZE = maxSize;
     public void add(String line)
          list.lock();
          try{
                       System.out.println("add method of Queue");
               while(record.size() >= MAX_SIZE){//things get screwed up when this condition is evaluated
                    //size method is crashing the program
                    System.out.println("2");
                    underLimit.await();
                    System.out.println("3");
               record.add(line);
          }catch(java.lang.InterruptedException e){
               System.out.println("await interupted: "+e.getMessage());
          }finally{

               date = new Date().toString();
               q.add(date);//this is where it screws up
               System.out.println(date+" added");
               try{

          //Queue q = new Queue();
          int length;
          for(int i = 0; i<ITTERATIONS; i++)
               length = q.record.size();//things are getting screwed up here
               while(q.record.get(length) == null)
                    length--;
               System.out.println((String)q.record.get(length));
               q.remove(length);
               try{
               Thread.sleep(100);
               }catch(java.lang.InterruptedException e){
                    System.out.println("ConsumerRunnable's sleep was interupted");
     private final Queue q;
     private final int ITTERATIONS;
}

question:
this works right
     public void remove()
          list.lock();
          int line = 0;
          try{
               *while(record.size() < 1)*
                    range.await();
               record.remove(line);
               range.signalAll();
          }catch(java.lang.InterruptedException e){
               System.out.println("await interupted: "+e.getMessage());
          }finally{
               list.unlock();
     }this is deadlock
*int list = 0;*
*while((list = record.size)<1) was screwing things up because of the assignment*record is ArrayList of strings. when better to use Vector instead of ArrayList? i notice no differnce and i use threads
initially I thought record.size was being evaluated and before could be assigned to list, time slice ran out. this could not be case because I use ReentrantLock (list) to lock it.
