Editing a face in a video to show only the lips

Hello,

I want to edit a video of someone's face to show only their lips as they talk. Afterwards, I want to add to the edited lips effects. How should I go about this? Should I record the video and crop? Or is there a simpler way to do this?

Thank you for reading and answering to the post.

Do you mean only the lips, or do you mean the mouth. If just the lips - as Peru Bob mentioned - slap on a brightly coloured lipstick while shooting and then key it out.

If you want the lips and surrounding mouth area - you'll have to mask the mouth. This is easy if the person isn't moving, and if the person is moving - you want to track the mask too.

A reference of your goal would help.

    I'm sorry. I'm very new to the Adobe softwares, so some of the terminology

    is foreign to me.

    I want to record my subject's face then remove everything except the mouth

    area (lips and teeth). Afterwards, edit the lips with designs.

    If I key the lips, will I be able to remove the rest of the face? What

    color lipstick would be good for keying?

    Thank you for the replies so far. eikonoklastes​ and Peru Bob

    If the lips have lipstick on them, you can key them.

    What effects will you be applying?
