Resolve Studio is a paid upgrade and includes some special features not available in the free version.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most helpful and powerful of these is the Face Refinement OpenFX plugin. It&#8217;s a tool that tracks a face in the shot, allowing you to grade that face separately from the other elements in the scene \u2014 making it stand out.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/K1rYMX_BCwA?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>To use Face Refinement, add it to a new node after the scene is equalized but before a LUT is applied. This&#8217;ll give you the most control over your image.<\/p>\n<p>Once the tool has found a face, it&#8217;ll run both forward and backward through the clip, tracking the face throughout the shot. Sometimes, it can get lost if you don\u2019t start on an image where the face is clearly visible.<\/p>\n<p>Once the clip has been tracked, which will depend on your hardware speed, the tool lets you adjust \u2014 with a great degree of control \u2014 over just how it appears. You can adjust the entire face in regards to exposure, contrast, saturation, and tint. You can also adjust specific parts, like the brightness of the eyes, or even blur bags under the eyes, making them less visible.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/resolve-interface.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-117061 size-full\" title=\"Harnessing The Power of Facial Refinement in DaVinci Resolve \u2014 Nodes\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/resolve-interface.jpg\" alt=\"Harnessing The Power of Facial Refinement in DaVinci Resolve \u2014 Nodes\" width=\"755\" height=\"457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/resolve-interface.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/resolve-interface.jpg?resize=300,182 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/resolve-interface.jpg?resize=277,168 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/resolve-interface.jpg?resize=359,217 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/resolve-interface.jpg?resize=543,329 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/resolve-interface.jpg?resize=560,339 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/resolve-interface.jpg?resize=150,91 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The tool even lets you change the color and saturation of the lips, cheeks, and chin \u2014 either removing makeup or adding bright colors \u2014 where they didn\u2019t previously exist. This is much more effective and believable on closeups than it is on distant shots, but it can come in handy.<\/p>\n<p>The Face Refinement Tool doesn\u2019t do anything that experienced colorists can\u2019t already do with the tools that exists in Resolve; however, it makes the process a lot faster, without requiring hours for every shot.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Interested in the tracks we used to make this video?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2S6Nqj1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Highway Hunters<\/a>&#8221; By Denis<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2XVRbgx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Craving for Adventures<\/a>&#8221; By Vincent Tone<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2XChQzZ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">My Old Piano<\/a>&#8221; By Magnetize Music<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2LLfFml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">I Found You<\/a>&#8221; By Magnetize Music<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2SbmbE7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Novation<\/a>&#8221; By Cali<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Looking for more on DaVinci Resolve?
