Morph

In plain words

One shape changes continuously into another, showing a transformation or evolution.

When to use it

Product transformations, an object turning into a logo, outfit-change Shorts.

In AI video, like this

If you specify both the start and end frames, the model fills in the space between. This is the only exception to the rule of not specifying an end frame, so use it only when the change itself is the point.

One-click prompt

Single continuous shot, locked camera: a watercolor painting of a red fox sitting on grass smoothly morphs over 3 seconds into a photorealistic live fox in the same pose, same position, and same grass, soft morning light, the brush strokes turning into fur. Use the painting as the start frame and the live fox as the end frame.
