Question

Manual eye movement and blinking

I've used prerecorded iphone movies to control a puppet.
The extracted audio can make the mouth move in sync.
The after effects tracking data fails at the eyes: CH pushes the pupils downwards when I blink my eyes. That is the only thing it does and that is useless. No lively eyes at all.
I can't use a webcam so I now must animate the eyes manually and add blinks. What is the way to do that?

I found autoblink and with some fiddling I finally got it to work. I still need manual eye movement. Any ideas?

In the properties panel to the right, search for and expand "Eye Gaze." Turn off camera input and turn on Keyboard input as seen below.
