i need some help achieving this effect.... from the rolling stones 'like a rolling stone' video :
I am shooting a series of stills (stop motion) and i want to achieve this sort of frame blending thing that they do in the video. Also should the stills be taken on sticks, or hand held?

thanks for the links, im after the morphing between stills effect. i see its the background that morphs while the faces stay clear...and the link was great to read...but still unclear on how i could reproduce it..

You might want to try the demo of RE:Flex, probably in your case using the tool called Morph (not Motion Morph). You set in a precomp the pix at the right location (where they will be the actual result). RE:Flex has controls for Warping and Blending between the two images (point A and B on timeline)... If your point of view are not too different, you set Auto-Align on, and if too different, you can always make a matte of the foreground, cut a hole in the BG with that, fill that hole with something and render in two passes that you composite together. Actually you can also use Twixtor PRO which has that sort of layer management built-in. Then timing is a bit more tricky, you have to set each still so it lasts one frame (in the order you will use them) in a precomp then keyframe the "frame" slider in Twixtor to control the speed of each transition.
