I ended up using Blender, here’s what I did:

  1. Create a plane with width: 1.6, height: 0.9 (16:9 ratio)
  2. Bevel the corners, using ctrl+b, v
  3. Add armature, creating bones that point to each corner
  4. Pose mode and animating every 5th frame and let Blender linearly interpolate between those frame.

Here’s a video of it action:

I also imported the video in my original post to use as a reference in Blender, when animating, e.g:

I hope that helps!
