Picture with Spectacles

Q: I would like to use a talking head photo of someone who wears spectacles/glasses. Does anyone please have a hint on using CrazyTalk to enable expressions while keeping the glasses frames unwrapped - or at least to optimize eye and eyebrow movement while minimizing distortion to the glasses frames.

If you import the head photo with glasses directly to CrazyTalk, I'm afraid that it cannot make the good outcome. I suggest that you should remove the glasses in your photo first and import it to CrazyTalk. Then, photograph your glasses only to make it as SFX material (it means to make a custom SFX). Finally, put the glasses on the SFX track in Timeline to make another layer for the talking head. I think it will be better to solve the problem.
