Check out this tutorial to see how it&#8217;s done in After Effects.<\/h2>\n<p>Knowing how to <strong>retouch<\/strong> <strong>skin<\/strong> in a photograph is truly an art form. <strong>Retouching skin in a\u00a0video<\/strong>, however, is a completely different ball game. You&#8217;re not just retouching one photograph \u2014 you need to retouch hundreds if not thousands of the <strong>individual still images that make up your video clip<\/strong>. Also, you need each photograph to <strong>seamlessly blend\u00a0with the next<\/strong>. This requires a unique approach that includes <strong>masks, tracking,<\/strong> and a little <strong>patience.<\/strong> Let&#8217;s take a closer look at one method to get you started. In this example, I&#8217;ll be <strong>removing<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>a small blemish<\/strong> on my interview subject&#8217;s cheek.<\/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\/AbRlyn6Rwck?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<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"step-1-duplicate-your-video\">Step 1 \u2014 Duplicate your video<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-95303\" title=\"How to Quickly Retouch Skin in Adobe After Effects \u2014 Duplicate Layer\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Step-1-Duplicate-Layer-e1506088012993.png\" alt=\"How to Quickly Retouch Skin in Adobe After Effects \u2014 Duplicate Layer\" width=\"755\" height=\"472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Step-1-Duplicate-Layer-e1506088012993.png 750w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Step-1-Duplicate-Layer-e1506088012993.png?resize=300,188 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Step-1-Duplicate-Layer-e1506088012993.png?resize=277,173 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Step-1-Duplicate-Layer-e1506088012993.png?resize=359,224 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Step-1-Duplicate-Layer-e1506088012993.png?resize=543,340 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Step-1-Duplicate-Layer-e1506088012993.png?resize=560,350 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Step-1-Duplicate-Layer-e1506088012993.png?resize=150,94 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For the first step, I need to <strong>duplicate my layer<\/strong>.
