✅ VIDEO SUMMARY
To morph between different shapes, first create multiple shapes using either the Shape Tools (including the Rectangle Tool, Ellipse Tool, Polygon Tool and Star Tool) or using the Pen Tool to draw a shape freely. Make sure you create all of the shapes within ONE SHAPE LAYER, otherwise your shapes will move to different positions when you try to morph them. Next, you need to go in to the transform property of each individual shape, not the overall transform of the shape layer. From here, set the x and y position values of all of the shapes to 0.

Next, change the paths of each of the shapes to a bezier path. You can do this by right-clicking on the path drop down and selecting "Covert To Bezier Path...". Create one keyframe from each shape using the new path option. You won't need to convert a path you've drawn with the Pen Tool to a bezier path, it should already be one. Finally, copy the keyframes onto one of the paths of one of the shapes. Now your animation should morph between the different shapes! Be sure to delete the other shapes you no longer need.
