    I shot a video in first person view and was wondering if anybody know how to make it look like the video is waking up. I want it to open it’s ‘eyes’ slightly, close them, open them a bit more, close them, etc. thanks!

    Hi Adrian,

    I think this can be easily done using a clip mask. I’d be reading up on how to do mask animation under Event Pan / Crop. This is where you can create a mask which is based around a bezier curve that can be fully animated. You could also use the Defocus plugin to blur the vision as well.

    Sorry for the short answer but it’s something that comes down to being able to animated well.

    Hope this helps.

    Super isntructions for viewer to blink.
    This will save you time and the project becomes interactive.
    Just a suggestion.
