This gives a complete new perspective to a noob like me - and even if I cannot follow all your instructions, it gives a lot of motivation to learn and proceed. It is this that imho differentiates your content from a lot of those beginners tutorials.

Explained really well, Darren. I don't use it much, as it seems that when I do - the tracking goes off - maybe, I will get some talking head videos to grade and can use it. Everytime I have done it, somebody turns their head, or someone walks in front, and it loses the track. Waiting for the day when they make the tracking adjustable, like it is on a regular tracking. At that point I'll probably over use it. Good tip to pull the exposure on a temp node and a power window before the face refine tool. I guess that would work for taking a still of just someones face and doing a shot match. Thanks again Darren.

Hi again Jim. Yes, as I mentioned in that episode, as soon as the face moves too far off then the analysis is gone so its back to 'old school' tools. But when it is in good scenario its a great tool. You have to appreciate it is tracking multiple points to allow all the tools to be used. I think as the AI tech gets better this tool will get better. This video was made as a nod to some good feedback I got from my facebook page regarding this tool. All the best, Darren.

Thanks for your excellent tutorials. This week I concentrated on your Face Refinement, Perfect Keying and Magic Masking tutorials. On the subject of skin retouching I am left with one last problem: How to remove (or patch over) a pimple, mole or colour-blemish as one would be requested in close up fashion & glamour work. I cannot see how to magic them away with Face Refine, Texture Pop or Beauty. In Photoshop I normally flick them away with spot-healing brush, or a low frequency layer for discolorisations. In Video retouching is there a solution?

I’m considering switching to resolve. These videos are convincing me!

Just a bit of feedback, though, I'm American and sometimes I can't quite process everything you say as you speak fairly quick. cc is tough as it covers much of the video content. I usually have to adjust the playback speed, but .75 is a tad slow.

Darren thank you so much best video I have seen on face refinement tool. The best I have ever got to is around 4 nodes for a grade, I noticed only a couple of the nodes were labelled out of what looked like a complex flow on screen, how do you tell what they are? Also do you have any preferences in the flow setup for where nodes are, for example for noise reduction some people put the node first, some further down the line. If you have any advice in a future video about workflow would be greatly appreciated. Once again thanks so much for your time and effort for these "Pro Secrets"

Hi Russtafa. The node tree here is 'almost' from the actual commercial grade...however it has grown a bit over the last few weeks due to this being episode 7. Im trying to keep it clean looking. This was a broadcast commercial and this is typical of my node tree for such a job. The Face Refine would not be last node though - just trying to keep it simple. As my channel grows I will be giving away many more secrets so keep on watching! The bigger it gets, the more I'll show you. Workflow episodes are on my list, don't worry. All the best, Darren.

Hello! Thanks for cool tips. Unfortunately, isolating hair didn't work... I followed all the steps with tracking and inverting. And I get flickering nodes on the moving object. Why is the tracker not tracking all the moves? It looks like whatever I applied to the eyes is ok in one second but when the person moves, you can see the flickering of the nodes.

Following all your tutorials and I must say they are extremely good in fact much much better then the paid ones.. I started using the face refinement after seeing your tutorial but experiencing a limitation, There is a close shot of a girl (I m doing eyes refinement) middle of the shot when girl turns here head then her hair covers her half of the face and only one eye is visible, so in this case a mask can be seen on her eye which was covered by hair, I tried to put a power window but seems like the plugin does not detect or ignore the power window and bound to just detect the face features, in that case how can we use face/eye refinement on just one eye pls advice?

do you put effects after or before color space transform?

I would love to know how I can use this tool to do color adjustments like light-skin red patches. Is that possible?

Do you have a recommendation on where you would put this node in your node tree? For the grade I'm working with I've got: CST > WB > Hi-Light Recovery > Primaries > Colour Balance > Skin Isolation (Parallel) > Curve > Sharpen > Grain > Vignette. I'm thinking that it may work best parallel with the Skin Isolation? But wondered what you think.

i am looking for a way to create a certain effect by utilizing the sound/wave/audio. I'm aware of the Midi modifier, but was wondering if you're aware of a way to have effect intensities modify with - for example - the volume level of the clip at a given frame/time. I imagine it would work similarly to a visualizer but I wish to plug in part of the visualizer style of math/trigger into effect adjustments. I can find almost nothing on this anywhere, and you seem like an expert so here I am crossing my fingers!
