So after watching the Trump Walter Reed morph cut controversy a few times I thought I’d give it a test run on a few spots in the video. These are 5 of the least identifiable ones I could make. It could honestly go either way. The key is watching the background.

Since we can, let’s see how some of the other NLEs handle this. Here’s Resolve’s Smooth Cut. (Note these are all 6 frames, centered on the edit) #morphcut

And #FCPX can do this too with its Flow transition. #morphcut

I was going to also try Media Composer and it’s Fluid Morph but I couldn’t get the AAF to relink and I was too lazy to recut the little test sequence.

#morphcut

I can’t definitively say one way or another. It could be a hiccup but the background moves just enough it could be a #morphcut

I think they did put a Warp Stabilizer on the footage thought.

I declare: UNDECLARABLE!
