user6810: I have a Timelapse question. We recorded about 22 minutes of a woman and boy lying on the ground around sunset to show the passing of time from day to night. We would like the shot in the film to be closer to 10-30 seconds.
I think the editor may have just changed the speed settings. Anyway, the problem is that the woman's blinking and the child's breathing both look very exaggerated now.
Is there any way to fix this in After Effects or Premiere? 
Thanks in advance!

user4426: Another possibility, depending on the shot / lighting:
Make two comps- one is your time lapse, and one is your two subjects playing in real time, not time lapsed. 
Mask (and feather) around the subjects, so the surrounding is moving quickly, but they are breathing and blinking in normal time. 
Slightly crazier idea:
Track the parts of your subjects that look weird, then replace only those parts with realtime playback masks- ie the eyes and the chest?

user1950: Import the footage into After Effects. Bring it into a comp and change the speed of the layer either with the speed control for the layer or with time remapping. Make sure the layer has Frame Blending turned on, and that it's on for your final render. Frame blending will blend all of the frames that make up a single frame, so if 20 minutes makes 10 seconds that's… er… 120 frames of original footage to make one frame of timelapse. This should mean that any quick motion in the original footage will blur away, and it should get rid of your blinks and breathing. If that's not enough you might want to try either the Time Warp at 100% speed with a long shutter time or even wide time effects to ad extra 'temporal blurring' to the footage.
Note that you'll have to render out the clips rather than using Dynamic Linking, because Premiere won't do the frame blends like AE does. Expect very slow renders.
