Gimp morphing plugin + video hints - rich2005 - 02-24-2019
An earlier post asked about using the old GAP package, problems with that and also the included morph plugin.
As a trial, the whole of the old-and-flakey GAP package is not needed, the morph plugin on its own works fine.
There are any number of howto's/tutorials on the internet for using GAP, if you are into animation, go for those.
Morphing 2 images together can be a bit of fun, so I have attached for Windows users (linux users look in your distro GAP package)
gap_morph.exe which provides the morphing interface
export-jpg.py which just exports all the layers to separate files if you want to make a video (plugin thanks to Kevin)
Unzip and put in your Gimp user profile plugins folder C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\plug-ins
You might just want a gif animation but often a video is both better quality and a much smaller file size.
Some hints on making a video. Plenty of video editor/tools around. I suggest Avidemux http://avidemux.sourceforge.net/
...and...the inevitable video about the whole thing
