A method of displaying a neutral facial expression in a paused video includes analyzing contiguous frames of a video to find neutral facial expressions and associating one of the neutral facial expression frames with each frame in the video. Upon reception of a pause instruction, synthesizing a set of frames that transition from the associated neutral expression frame to a pause frame. The synthesized frames are played in reverse, whereby the played frames transition from the pause frame to the associated neutral expression frame. Thus, the neutral facial expression frame is displayed on the video player while the video is paused instead of displaying the normal pause frame.
