DaVinci Resolve 21 Beta: Face Reshaper tutorial

This tutorial demonstrates Face Reshaper in DaVinci Resolve 21 Beta using a clip of the presenter. The example builds an exaggerated "Giga Chad" face through changes to the jaw and chin, then explores other facial adjustments.

The workflow starts on the Color tab. The presenter opens Effects, searches for "face" and drags Face Reshaper onto the node connection. After detecting the face, he runs tracking forward and backward through the footage. He describes detection as straightforward when the frame contains just one face. Tracking takes a few seconds in his example, though he says the wait can extend to minutes depending on clip length and processing power.

Once tracking finishes, he hides the face overlay and adjusts face width, jaw size, chin and cheek position. He then changes the nose's width, height and size, toggling the effect off and on to compare the result. Eyebrow controls change their thickness and tilt. Playback shows how the altered face follows the footage.

The demonstration focuses on deliberately exaggerated edits rather than subtle retouching. It gives viewers a practical introduction to the controls, but does not establish performance across different hardware or demonstrate a scene with multiple faces.
