Thanks Larry… Is there anything similar in FCP?
Charles:
There’s nothing in FCP directly, but there may be a 3rd-party plugin that does this. But I don’t know of one specifically.

Super cool. I used to do it in Apple Color using an HSL key node on the face to ensure it only affected the face and not the rest of the image then a blur node right after to soften the wrinkles. And while that face was selected you could adjust skin tone if they were washed out or were slightly green due to shooting conditions. You can do that same method in Resolve. You can also hack your way through it in Premiere by selecting the face with the HSL dropper in Lumetri and then drawing a mask around the face to keep the selection isolated to the face. You then have to track the mask to any movement of the face.
But wow that slider in DaVinci makes it super easy!
Christopher:
Yeah, that slider left my jaw on the floor. Super simple.
