Morph Age is for morphing/warping images and movies on Mac OS X, such as faces, and save the result to a QuickTime movie. Morph Age is the perfect companion to iLife (iMovie, iPhoto, iDVD) for creating stunning video of your friends and family and even to Final Cut Pro for creating broadcast quality special effects.

Morph Age works by allowing you to define curves on one or more images. Any change made on the curves is reflected on the resulting image through the corresponding distorsion and morphing effect.
Morph Age can animate warp curves independently, so that different parts of the image moves at different times (the eyes, then the ears, then the mouth...). Also, animation effects are available, such as springy motion. Morph Age shows the result in real time, so that you can quickly and easily prototype the transformation.

Morph Age can also work from QuickTime movies as curves can be animated with keyframed motion. One talking face can be morphed into another talking face as they are talking ! Other special effects can be created from the layers capabilities of Morph Age, that enables to handle occlusions, as well as its colorization features (Hulk Warp).
Morph Age has an extremely fast, novel rendering engine that combines CPU operations (faster on G5) and graphic card power. It enables real-time rendering on mega pixel images still being accurate to sub-pixel.
