Flashing lights in eye effect?

Question

For a science fiction trailer I'm working on, I want to achieve an effect where a little red light flashes twice in the eye of a woman.

I tried doing this with AI (Kling), and it made it way too dramatic.

I want just two little flashes around the cornea while the camera does a slow zoom-in. Can I accomplish that with something in the effects panel?

Yes, you'll need to do some camera tracking and After Effects is where you'd do that. Here's a tutorial for you, @jonathanr40489519:  Find more video tutorials here. Thanks,Kevin

Doable, but trying to remember the exact steps is fun when not at the computer doing it.

One method in Premiere, you could have a bright red round graphic, duplicated so one for each eye.

Then track the eyes so the red 'balls' stay on them. This would take quite a bit of fiddling. So I 'spect others will have a better idea. Though personally, I'd probably do this in Ae, as the effects are more copious there and tracking multiple things is a breeze.
