5 stars to MorphMan 2000

MorphMan 2000 is top-rated by ZDNet Software Library reviewers:

ZDNet Software Library has awarded the latest version of our MorphMan 2000 with the topmost 5-stars rank which means "Outstanding in all respects. One of the best of its class".

From the review: "Morph Man 2000 lets you generate seamless video transitions between two images. Several powerful vector drawing tools for setting transition points and lines are built into this powerful tool, with four morphing algorithms included. Morph Man 2000 supports an impressive number of graphic and video formats. You can even import frames from MPEG, DV, and QuickTime movies, plus render your output to animated .gif files. Other nice features include a real-time, real-mode preview of any frame of a morphing sequence; unlimited undo of all operations, including setting/editing markers and project properties changes; and an animated tutorial..."

MorphMan 2000 is an application that creates a sequence of intermediate frames that seamlessly transform one image to another and generates output in a form of movie or image file sequence. Version 2000 has multiple algorithmic and interface enhancements. It calculates morphing effect using completely re-written algorithms to achieve higher smoothness and precision of transition. MorphMan 2000 radically facilitates the process of setting marker points and lines that control the transformation. Now there is a full arsenal of conventional vector drawing tools to set, edit, and transform markers. MorphMan 2000 is based on Microsoft DirectShow API while previous versions used older Video-for-Windows API, with the result that program now reads and writes MPEG, QuickTime, and DV movies provided that appropriate filters are installed on user's machine.
