deletion

is there a way to delete some of the pictures that i have put in a morph so that the parts of the morph i have completed stays done? or do i have to start a whole new morph?

You can right click on the morph buttons in the Timeline Window and select Delete.

i tried that it did not work

[Ark]

Please explain what you mean by "did not work". What exactly did you do, and what exactly do you want? There is really no way that selecting "Delete" and picking "yes" to the confirmation to remove the morph would result in anything but that morph being deleted from the Timeline Window.

the delete key frame button is not useable and when i right click on the pic i want deleted i get this--show pic, show in progress, make key frame, load pic and layout is all that comes up

[Ark]

No, you right click on a morph and pick Delete, not the pictures under the morph buttons.
If you have linked morphs, you may want to unlink them to better see what you are deleting, but typically a series of linked morphs will delete the picture under and to the right if you remove the morph from the timeline.

ok thx how do i unlink the morphs i got the first part

[Ark]

If you have 3 or more pictures, you will have 2 or more morphs in your timeline window. Right click on the morph button and select the Link Morph option to check or uncheck it. Unlinked morphs have their own start and end pictures, and their own set of dots to work with. Linked morphs will use the previous morph's end picture as their starting picture (called a transition picture) and will share the number of dots with all morphs in the chain.

thank you so very much now it is so much easier GOD BLESS

how do i lengthen the time between morphs so they can be viewed im turning a pic?

[Ark]

Right click on the morph button in the timeline window and select Options. Each morph has it's own set of options where you can set the length of the morph and the length of the still time between morphs.

thank you so very much you are an angel

ok i have a problem i set up my morphs then unlinked them but the dots from my first morph is still going to the other set of morphs is there any way to delete the dots from the first set of morphs from the rest of the morphs that are unlinked but not remove the dots from the first morphs?

[Ark]

When you unlink the morphs, the dots remain on each morph, and one morph's starting picture will be the same as the previous morph's ending picture at first. You can change the pictures and delete the dots as you please then without affecting the morphs outside the link.

For example, if you had 3 morphs (4 pictures) and you unlinked Morph 2, you would then have Morph 1 with it's own start and end picture, and Morph 2 and 3 with their own Start, Transition, and End picture. Morph 2's start picture is a copy of Morph 1's end picture. If you delete dots from Morph 2's start picture, the dots would be removed from the transition picture and Morph 3's end picture, because those are linked. Morph 1 will not be affected.

oops i deleted the copy pix is that a problem?
