What is a shape match cut?

A shape match cut is a video editing technique where you rapidly cut between different photos whose main subjects share a similar outline — a car, a bottle, a bird, a tree — all precisely aligned. The result is a hypnotic montage where silhouettes morph into each other seamlessly, the kind of thing you see in car commercials, music videos, and viral social content.

Normally this requires painstaking manual alignment in After Effects or Premiere. zlabz does it automatically — AI segments the dominant shape in every photo, computes the principal axis, and locks every silhouette to the same position, size, and rotation. You get a perfect shape match cut in seconds.

How it works

Four steps. No editing experience needed.

Step 1

Search or upload

Type a word to search for photos of objects, or upload your own. Images stream in live — no waiting.

Step 2

Select your frames

Review the results. Select the shapes you want, remove the ones you don't. Search again to add more. You're in control.

Step 3

Hit process. AI segments the dominant silhouette in every photo, computes its principal axis, and locks every shape to the same position, size, and rotation.

Step 4

Customize and export

Adjust speed, aspect ratio, background color, sound effects. Export as MP4 or WebM up to 4K. No watermarks.

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. Shape Match Cut is available in your browser — you get full exports without watermarks.

How does the shape alignment work?

We use MediaPipe Image Segmenter (DeepLab-v3) to detect the dominant object in each photo. The tool then computes the principal axis of the silhouette via PCA and locks every shape to the same center, scale, and rotation across all frames.

What if some photos don't have a detectable shape?

Images without a detected foreground shape are automatically skipped during processing. You'll see a count of how many were skipped so you can replace them if needed.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. Shape detection runs in your browser via WebAssembly. Works on Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari on both desktop and mobile.

What export formats are available?

MP4 (H.264) and WebM (VP9) up to 4K resolution. You can also export as GIF or a ZIP of individual frames. All exports are watermark-free.

Can I use my own photos?

Absolutely. Switch to Upload mode, drop in your images, and the tool handles the rest. You can also mix searched images with uploaded ones.
