Beauty Box for Windows

Professional skin retouching for motion pictures

Beauty Box, created by Digital Anarchy for desktop use, is a video retouching plugin designed to make skin corrections and digital makeup fast and intuitive. It detects skin tones automatically and creates masks to conceal wrinkles, blemishes, and makeup inconsistencies across HD and 4K footage. The plugin integrates with major editing hosts including Premiere Pro, After Effects, Final Cut Pro, Avid, and any OpenFX-compatible application.

Main features at a glance

• GPU-accelerated processing via CUDA and OpenCL for much faster playback and rendering on Nvidia and AMD cards
• Automatic skin detection and mask tracking that follows subjects as they speak and move
• Compatibility with common NLEs and compositing hosts such as Premiere, After Effects, Final Cut, Avid, and OpenFX tools
• Simple control set (three primary sliders) letting you choose anything from a subtle polish to a full airbrushed finish
• Built-in style presets for quick looks plus color-correction tools to tame shine from oily skin or strong lighting
• Instant clip analysis (Analyze Frame) that samples tones and establishes tracking parameters for the whole shot

How it speeds up post-production

Beauty Box reduces manual rotoscoping and frame-by-frame cleanup by automatically generating masks and tracking them through the shot. The three core controls make it easy to dial in the intensity of smoothing without combing through dozens of parameters. Running on CUDA/OpenCL hardware often allows near-real-time previewing so you can iterate quickly, jump back to clips that need more tweaking, and shorten the overall finishing cycle.

Creative possibilities and typical uses

Beyond corrective work, the plugin offers stylized options—apply an old-Hollywood glow, punchy cinematic color grades, or dramatic sunburst effects—to enhance music videos, commercials, short films, and other projects. Its color correction features also help you control highlights and reduce unwanted shine, resulting in a more polished final image.
