Skin smoothing for Final Cut Pro

Overview

Skin Smoother is a Final Cut Pro plugin that smooths and softens skin while leaving the rest of the shot untouched. It's quick to set up and easy to use.

It works with Final Cut Pro's built-in color mask. Sample the skin tones right from your clip, and Skin Smoother only affects those areas. Then fine-tune the smoothing, brightness, contrast, saturation and color of the skin, with a mix control for each one.

Need to limit it to one face or one area? Add a shape mask too, and keyframe it if the subject moves.

Rendering is fast. Like all of our plugins, Skin Smoother runs on Intel Macs and natively on Apple silicon (M1 and later). The extended demo shows before and after on several faces and skin tones, and the short tutorial shows how easy it is.

Features

Skin-only smoothing: sample skin tones with a color mask, so only the skin is affected.
Precise color sampling: click and drag to sample. Shift-drag adds colors and Option-drag removes them.
Natural-looking results: Skin.Smoothing and Smoothing.Mix let you dial in just the right amount.
Fine tuning: adjust brightness, contrast, saturation and color balance of the skin. Softness blends the mask edges.
See your selection: View Masks shows exactly which areas of skin are selected.
Limit it to one area: add a shape mask to keep the effect in one part of the frame. Keyframe it to follow movement.
Fast rendering: industry-leading render speeds.

How to use

In the Effects browser sidebar, click My FCPeffects (show the sidebar if it's hidden). Skin Smoother 2 is at the top. Drag it onto your clip.
In the Inspector, hover over Skin Smoother 2, click the mask icon and choose Add Color Mask.
Click and drag on the skin in the viewer to sample it. Shift-drag adds a tone. Option-drag removes one.
Raise Skin.Smoothing, then use Smoothing.Mix to keep it natural. Too much can look unrealistic.
Fine-tune Brightness, Contrast, Saturation and Softness as needed.
Optional: to limit the effect to one area, click the mask icon again and choose Add Shape Mask.
