Free beta. Feedback: info@mayoflux.tv (subject: Dot Morph beta feedback).

INSTALL
1. Extract the entire ZIP. Keep the included folders together.
2. Save your projects and close After Effects and aerender.
3. Double-click Install.cmd and accept Windows administrator approval.
4. Reopen AE. Apply Effect > MayoFlux > Dot Morph to a comp-size solid.

This package is unsigned. Windows may display an unknown-publisher warning.
The installer checks the plug-in checksum, preserves the previous binary,
and does not close applications or change your saved execution policy.
If PowerShell is restricted by your organization, use its normal IT process.

GET STARTED
Create a composition with two text, shape or precomp layers. Add a comp-size
solid above them and apply Dot Morph to that solid. In Effect Controls,
assign Source 1 and Source 2, then hide the original source layers.
Use Automatic with Hold and Transition timing, or disable Automatic and
keyframe Sequence Position from 1 to 2. Add Source reveals more selectors.
Empty rows are skipped; up to 16 sources are supported.

Use precomps for transformed, parented, 3D or multi-layer artwork. Transparent
alpha defines an isolated shape. Opaque footage supplies a rectangular shape.
Match Source Colors samples source colors and blends them during movement.
Form Solid Source restores the original source image at the endpoints.
Center Out releases the middle dots first. Additional Particles adds trails
with independent life, velocity, size, falloff and color controls.

Open examples/Dot Morph - Starter.aep for editable text, shape and trail demos.
The included starter is silent and contains no client assets or supplied song.
See QUICK-START.html for the illustrated steps and BETA-NOTES.txt for limits.
