It is one of the most popular video editing tools globally, and the reasons for this are plentiful. Adobe developers implemented hundreds of useful features that help users achieve the desired result. That’s why this software is used in professional Hollywood movies and other top-grade productions.
However, the topic of this article is a specific transition effect that you can apply to videos in Premiere Pro, and we will focus on that. It is easy to do, but frankly, if you want to become a Premiere Pro master, you will have to climb a steep learning path. That’s why we’ll give you an easier option. Stick around.

What is the Morphing Effect?
The morphing effect is a transition effect between two scenes. During the effect, each part of the screen from the first scene morphs into the next scene, resulting in a transformation. Instead of abruptly cutting to the next scene, video editors use this effect to make the transition more interesting to the viewer.
The morph transition can be used in a multitude of ways. It is extremely flexible, and you can use it in different scenarios. Whether you are working on a funny sketch or something serious like a documentary, you can use it creatively.
That’s enough theory for today. Let’s see how to apply the morphing effect in Premiere Pro.
A Step-by-Step Guide on Applying the Morphing Effect in Premiere Pro
Here are the steps to add the Morphing effect to your video in Premiere Pro. In this software, this effect is called the Morph Cut.
Step 1: Drag your clip to the timeline.
Step 2: In the effects panel, click on Video Transitions > Dissolve and then click on Morph Cut.
Step 3: Drag the Morph Cut effect to the desired place in the timeline.
That was easy. In the screenshots above, you can see that the Morph Cut is used to edit footage of a person talking. If you want to cut out certain portions of a monologue, cutting abruptly will be hard to follow, but if you use the effect correctly, it will seem like one continuous uncut video. That’s another cool application for this effect.
Now, let’s move on and introduce you to Filmora, which is the easier option promised in the title. As mentioned, Premiere Pro is hard to master, but Filmora is designed to surpass that issue with an intuitive interface and a bunch of helpful AI features.
