>>Seems like perhaps it should only be another guideline or rule that I'm missing…<< I think John's already addressed this. The problem you're having has to do with attempting to morph between an object with a hole in it (such as an R or and e) and one without a hole. (Or is it the other way around.) That type of setup just doesn't work well with morphing. Try morphing a torus into a cylinder and you'll see. As has been mentioned, you can "cheat" this by creating the R with a slice so it's not really closed. I'd probably use a combination of morphing and a cross-fade in Video Post. In other words, begin with the legit R, and then cross-fade to the sliced R just before the morph. – Jack
