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.
