What It Does
FacePro automates portrait retouching in After Effects and Premiere Pro using AI face detection and skin analysis. It generates pixel-accurate skin masks that isolate skin from hair, eyes, eyebrows, lips, and background, then applies targeted retouching without manual masking work. The plugin handles everything from blemish removal to color correction through a single interface.
Key Features
AI Face Mask. Detects faces automatically and creates pixel-level skin masks. Works with multiple faces in a frame. Offers four masking modes (None, AI Mask, Skin Color, External) for different scenarios, added in v1.1.0.
Blemish Removal. Removes spots, acne, and minor scars using a context-aware AI model. Samples surrounding skin texture and blends seamlessly without affecting skin structure. Controlled by a single slider.
Skin Smoothing. Evens out skin texture while preserving natural details like pores and fine lines. The algorithm, improved in v1.1.0, avoids the over-processed look common in heavy smoothing filters.
Whiten. Brightens and evens out skin tones for a more luminous complexion.
Shine Removal. Eliminates specular highlights using localized exposure and texture correction. Useful for reducing oil or sweat reflections in interview footage.
Color Correction. Adjusts hue, saturation, lightness, density, and contrast specifically on skin areas. Works naturally at moderate values, but can create stylized effects at extremes.
The workflow is straightforward: apply the plugin, adjust blemish removal and smoothing sliders, then refine the mask if needed. All adjustments happen on GPU for faster processing.
Who It’s For
Useful for editors working with interview footage, talking head videos, or beauty content where skin appearance matters. Also relevant for narrative work requiring digital makeup or quick fixes on actor close-ups.
