Hi James. I'd suggest picking up Elastic Reality for your project. It's a very nice package. Easy to use and surprisingly fast for a Windows program. Unless of course you can get the SGI version.<g> The morph itself will be easy and shouldn't take you long. Registering the background might be a little tougher depending on how precise you need it to be. But, since a morph is really just a cross-fade, if you shoot the cars in the same spot chances are the BG will turn out great. In ER you can protect parts of an image from being affected by the morph – the result is just a pure crossfade then. Doing it with live video wouldn't be too much harder except you need to get the images off of tape. I'd try to move-morph-move instead. Good luck, sounds like a fun project. DM
