Tutorial: How to Morph Complex Figures in After Effects Without Any Extra Plugins

Hi! I'm Margarita from Icons8.
In this tutorial, you will see the steps of morphing complex figures in After Effects. You don't need any extra plugins or programs for the animation, just Adobe Illustrator to prepare the assets.

There are three examples of animation workflow. All of them are based on a simple principle: break the animation into steps, and morph a figure to the transitional state.

Hope, you'll find it helpful!

The concept of using 3 steps instead of a 1 to 2 morph transition is genius and has helped me immensely. Thank you for sharing this with the world!

Hi! Your tutorial is absolutely amazing!! But when it comes to hulk transition, it has so many variation such as color change and components change, could you make tutorial about that? I watched it at 0.25 speed, but still confusing. Would appreciate if you can. Thank you again.
