  Animating an iPad ‘finger tap’ using photograph of hand …

  Posted by Tim West on June 11, 2014 at 3:08 pm

  Hi,

  I’m building a demo of an app and was wondering what the best way of animating an iPad ‘finger tap’ using a photograph of a hand with a pointing finger would be?

  I’ve experimented with the puppet tool but I can’t seem to get a great result.

  Ideally it would be one effect I could drag around in time to wherever a finger tap was needed.

  Any ideas most welcome,

  Thanks for your time!

  You could video a hand coming over a green screen and tapping.

  If you must use a still, I would use a combination of the Puppet Tool and some basic psr animation.
