The power of Mocha is also available for Final Cut Pro X as well. This tutorial shows how to use Mocha and After Effects to control Beauty Box and get some, uh, ‘creative’ skin retouching effects! Here’s a tutorial detailing how it works in Premiere:Īfter Effects also ships with Mocha Pro, another great tool for doing this type of work.
It’s available in both AE and Premiere Pro. It usually works very well, especially for talking head type footage where the talent isn’t moving around a lot. Meaning that as the actor moves, the points move with him. You can apply bezier masks that only masks the effect of a plugin, like Beauty Box. This works very well for many uses but if you wanted more subtle retouching… you still had to go frame by frame.Īfter Effects and Premiere have some amazing new tools for tracking mask points. The mask it creates affects all skin areas. However, Beauty Box affects the entire image by default. I thought there had to be an easier way and a few years later we released Beauty Box. The idea for Beauty Box came from watching a visual effects artist explain his process for retouching a music video of a high profile band of 40-somethings. This was a laborious and time consuming way of retouching video/film.
In the past someone would have to create a mask on Frame 1 and move forward frame by frame, adjusting the mask on EVERY frame as the actor moved.
New tools built into After Effects and Premiere Pro or available from third parties for FCP make this technique accessible to video editors and compositors on a much more modest budget or time constraints. Traditionally this type of work has been the province of feature films and other big budget productions that had the money and time to hire rotoscopers to create masks frame by frame. This is extremely useful if you want to limit the skin retouching to just certain areas like the cheeks or forehead. We have a new set of tutorials up that will show you how to easily create masks and animate them for Beauty Box.
