Title: Reversing the Morph Effect
Post by: beatlerat on September 18, 2016, 01:15:14 PM
I have a couple of effects that I have done with the Morph Effect that I would like to mirror on an RGB tree.  One is a missile effect, similar to the one Flyinverted did on the recent layering tutorial, and another Morph effect that I can't get to go the other way.   Is there a simple way to do this, or do I need to ask for an enhancement request to either reverse direction, or mirror that effect.
Thanks.

The morph can be setup to go any direction, so no need for an enhancement request... it's already there.  However, in your case since all you want to do is mirror, I think the easiest is to go to layer settings and change transformation from "none" to "rotate 180".

Edit, you could also use "flip vertical", not sure of the difference between the two.

I think I have figured out the missile effect.  Can you use Roto-Zoom to reverse most effects?

Yes, that would work as well, but in my opinion flip vertical or rotate 180 is easier to understand.  I believe the roto zoom setting would be set to 50, which doesn't make sense to me.  Many ways to skin this cat.

Plus, like I said you can just change the morph effect.  Just spend a little time learning all of the options.

All day is more than a little time to me.   I had been to layer settings and effect assist.  I missed the buffer setting.

Avoid roto zoom for this if you can and flip the buffer. Rotozoom  has to do a lot of calculations for what is just a simple flip.

If you use negative stagger it moves the other direction.
