Comments.Text: Don't know the name if there is one. I'd suggest to load the clip into photoshop, because you've got **most control about the brush** settings. Alternatively **blenders new grease pencil** is fun to play with: https://vimeo.com/113610809.

Comments.Text: I want to achieve that kind of animation that the 2D objects are "on" the video. Take an animated character on the shoulder of an actor (so it moves with movements of the actor). After Effects can do this (really time consuming in Photoshop), but I don't know what I have to look for.
