  Smile twinkle.

  Posted by Paul Dzurec on May 15, 2006 at 4:39 pm

  I’m working on a video project and I’d like to have the twinkle effect when someone smiles, like on a toothpaste commercial. I don’t know if I have to create twinkles in photoshop then bring them to AE? It would be even cooler if there was a plug in for it. Ideas?

  No need for a plugin. I do this a few times a year and have made a graphic to use over and over.

  Add the psd to your comp and keyframe the scale from zero to whatever size you want then back down to zero. At the same time, keyframe the rotation from zero to, say, 180.

  So, you should have 3 keyframes for the scale, and 2 for the rotation.

  Easy.

  Good luck!
