How to Morph Shapes in After Effects

Learn how to morph one shape smoothly into another in After Effects without manual point matching, using the Super Morphings script.

Morphing shapes in After Effects — turning one icon smoothly into another — usually means wrestling with mismatched vertices. Here is a cleaner way using Super Morphings.

Why morphing is hard by hand

When two paths have different point counts or orders, the transition twists and pops. A dedicated tool manages the interpolation for you.

Step 1 — Prepare two shapes

Have your start and end shapes ready.

Step 2 — Set up the morph

Apply Super Morphings to create the transition between them.

Step 3 — Control the timing

Adjust the timing and easing so the morph feels smooth.

Step 4 — Refine the look

Tune the interpolation until the transition reads cleanly.

The tool for the job

FAQ

Can I morph any two shapes?

It is designed to smooth transitions between shapes that are otherwise awkward to morph by hand.

Is it keyframe-based?

You control the transition timing to fit your animation.
