Sometimes a take is almost right. The line lands well, but the eyes drift away, or the smile arrives a beat too late, and a reshoot is not possible. Face Director is a plugin for video work that lets editors adjust facial performance after filming. You can guide eye direction, shape expressions, and copy movement from another clip, all while the original footage stays at the centre of the shot. It is a careful correction tool, not a way to replace an actor.

Key Features

• Adjust facial expressions to fix weak acting moments in an existing take
• Retarget eye direction so a subject looks at the right person or object
• Control head direction and other facial movement with direct manipulation
• Use another layer as a driver to copy animation onto a face
• Work inside a familiar video editing workflow on your Mac

System Requirements

Face Director needs a supported host video application and a Mac that meets that host app requirements, along with enough power for video processing work. Check the listing for your host app version before you install, as plugin support varies by release.

FAQs

What is Face Director used for?

Editors use it to polish filmed performances, fixing continuity slips, eye lines and expression timing without booking a reshoot.

Does it replace the actor in a shot?

No. It adjusts the performance that is already in your footage. It is best thought of as a correction and polishing tool.

Should I try it on my own footage first?

Yes. Results depend heavily on the clip, the angle and the lighting. Test on a short section before you commit to a full scene.
