Inverting an image - specific part ?

[nt65]

Hi RagingBull,
I am no expert as I am still learning this amazing piece of s/w but heres what I would do.

Create two loaders each with the same footage and use a merge node to combine them.
After one of the loaders insert a transform tool between it and the merge tool.
Select the transform tool and click on "flip horizontally".
Now you have to make sure that the two loaders are centered about the area you want to flip - so around the mouth area. You can do this by reducing the level of one and moving the other by the cross hairs in the middle until the two are aligned.

Select the merge tool and create a select the polyline mask tool. Create a mask around the mouth.
Use soft edge in the mask tab and that should do it.

I hope this makes sense?

Good luck:)

oops, I forgot to add you need to rotate the one you're flipping horizontally by 180 degrees.
DOH!
so about that chief.:)

If you want to animate it, you might want to consider using Grid Warp.
