Face Refinement (Studio Version Only)
Face Refinement is an incredibly sophisticated yet easy-to-use filter that lets you quickly make
very targeted adjustments to people’s complexions. When you apply this filter, imaging
techniques are used to automatically detect a face, which is automatically tracked so long as it’s
somewhat turned toward the camera.
If multiple faces are present in the frame at the position of the playhead, then clicking the
Analyze button once results in boxes being drawn over each detectable face. Click any of these
boxes to choose which face you want to refine, and that box will be highlighted to indicate
which face you’ll be refining.
When multiple faces are detected, you can click a
box to choose which one to work on
If only one face is present, clicking the Analyze button automatically analyzes that face; no
boxes appear and this step is not necessary.
After you’ve selected which face to track (if necessary), you need only click the Analyze button
at the top of the Face Refinement controls to “auto-magically” track the face through the
trackable range of motion that this plug-in is capable of, and an outline of the face’s major
features appears to let you follow its progress.

detecting a performer’s face
Once the face has been tracked, you’re ready to work. This plug-in divides the tracked face into
different zones for common operations colorists often perform to quickly eliminate blemishes,
adjust the hue and saturation of complexions in regionally appropriate ways, modify lighting,
sharpen desirable detail, and refine makeup. Because all adjustments are fit to the proportions
of the face that’s been detected and tracked, all you need to do is make the adjustments you
need and DaVinci Resolve takes care of the rest.
