I use a great little one trick pony called:  Morph age Pro
takes a bit to learn the interface, but I've done morphs with it as good as
elastic reality ever did.

One thing is to do the morph 2 to 3 times longer then you need and retime
in AE

each curve can have it's own timing too

good luck

Chris
