I have 30 pictures of 6 months of weight loss pics. In all of them I’m standing in the same background in the same position. I’m willing to do a little bit of *cutting out" backgrounds and drawing nodes if I need to.

I don’t have the money for expensive software, so I’m hoping for something free or open source, even if it means I have to do extra work.

    You might be able to accomplish this using DaVinci Resolve, there’s a free version and it works on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

      Oh God, I was hoping people wouldn’t say GIMP… The user interface is just lethally bad.

      I do appreciate knowing that it now has a morph feature. I’m going to put this at the very back of the recommendation pack, based on my history of using that software vs professional software with a good UI.

    imagemagic can do morph animations tho I don’t know how good it would be for this specific use case as it just fades between the images

    convert -morph 20 start.png end.png out.gif

    will make a 20 fram animation

      I appreciate that suggestion, and I’ll report back with what I find.

      I honestly don’t think it matters how professional it looks, I just want a steady progression between the pictures, Even if the morph effect itself looks corny.

      I was clever enough to take them all in the same neutral position in the same lighting against a flat surface so it should look fine I hope?!
