PowerPoint's **Morph**, Keynote's **Magic Move** and Figma's Smart Animate work on the same principle. If two scenes contain **objects with the same identity**, the tool pairs them and interpolates position, size, rotation and colour from start to end. Unpaired objects fade in or out.
The workflow is simple: duplicate a slide, then move, resize and recolour shapes on the second copy; one transition effect turns the difference into animation. You skip keyframes, but pairing depends on object names or shapes, so naming them consistently keeps it stable.
Do not confuse it with **shape morphing (→ shape-morph)**. A morph transition interpolates whole objects (move, scale); shape morphing changes one object's outline path into another.
When to use
Use it in talks to show an idea evolving (dot → circle → chart), or in prototypes to keep elements visually continuous.
