What is new in MorphMan 2000
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.

MorphMan 2000 vs. MorphMan v.2.01
While version 2000 provides much more powerful tools for morphing between pairs of pictures it is NOT A DIRECT SUBSTITUTION  to MorphMan 2.01 and in general case you need BOTH products. If you own one version you can buy another from our upgrade store for discount price.

Features
There are several features in v.2.01 that are not inherited in MorphMan 2000:
- 'dynamic morphing' - ability to take video clips for source and target and create sequence of transitions between corresponding frames of input clips one after another
- add-on video and sound editors
Hardware and software compatibility
Versions 2000 and 2.01 are built over alternative digital video API's - DirectShow and VideoForWindows, respectively. It is quite possible that video capture hardware, video compression codecs, or video editing software installed on your computer are fully compliant with only one of this standards. That is why having both versions will give you choice of adequate tool to resolve any compatibility problems.
