I have been doing quite a lot of animation, using Xara Designer Pro for graphics and for creating short AVI sequences. You can do proper morphs between shapes when exporting in this mode.

However, there is no way to accurately determine how the points within a morph will map (unlike the Blend tool, which at least offers 1:1 mapping as an option. Changing the starting vertex doesn't seem to effect it either.

Any suggestions?

Here is a video that I made for the David Bowie song "Sound and Vision":
