How to retouch skin fast in Final Cut Pro using the Beauty Box plugin — automatic skin detection, natural smoothing, pro results.
As a photographer filming motion alongside stills, I use Beauty Box in Final Cut Pro to speed up skin retouching. The plugin auto-detects skin, creates a mask, and limits smoothing to skin areas — no global blur. I’ll show you how to apply it, analyse the clip, fine-tune smoothing, and render clean, natural results.
It’s fast, consistent, and keeps texture looking natural. Apply the filter, let it analyse, tweak strength/skin detail, and you’re done — ideal for beauty, commercial, and social content where turnarounds are tight.
