Digital Anarchy has updated its real-time skin retouching application for video editors with the release of Beauty Box V6.5. With this new update, Digital Anarchy is adding a new filter for eye and teeth whitening that uses machine learning to identify those areas. In addition to shine removal, these new features allow video editors to use Beauty Box’s traditional algorithms along with AI to create a better-looking, more sophisticated image. All the AI features run locally on the user’s machine; nothing gets uploaded to the cloud, which means faster renders and safer data.

Some of the new capabilities in the latest release of Beauty Box 6.5 include:

• Beauty Box Whiten: Uses AI to identify eyes, mouth and teeth, creating a mask that lets editors apply Beauty Box’s color adjustments to only those areas. This lets video editors retouch eye whites or teeth without having to manually mask those areas. The user can make adjustments to the mask, like feathering it or growing/shrinking it.
• GPU Inference Engine: The new AI inference engine was developed from scratch by the Digital Anarchy team. This new engine speeds up these features across different host applications. The inference engine is what does the heavy lifting of translating what is in the AI models to what gets rendered in the video editing apps. For speed and memory management purposes, it is important to have an engine that plays nicely with different host apps. Both Beauty Box Whiten and Shine Removal benefit from this.
• Improved Face Detection: Developed for Beauty Box Whiten, this feature improves the accuracy and consistency of face detection, which means better tracking of one face when there are multiple people. Beauty Box Shine Removal also uses this new technology.
• AI Runs Locally: All AI-based features run locally on a user’s machine/GPU. No data is uploaded to the cloud or used for training Digital Anarchy’s models. This speeds up processing and keeps user data secure.
• Better After Effects Splines: The AI masks can be converted to masks in After Effects, allowing editors to make adjustments that yield customized results.

Beauty Box V6.5 is available immediately and is designed for Final Cut Pro, Premiere, After Effects, Resolve, and Avid artists. Pricing is $199 for new licenses, $99 for upgrades from 5.0, and $149 for upgrades from earlier versions.

Beauty Box 6.5 is also available as part of the Anarchy Cloud subscription, which also provides access to all of Digital Anarchy solutions for a single subscription price.

Anarchy Cloud is available in two tiers and is designed to offer the most flexibility and most accessible price points for content creators. Check out the Digital Anarchy site for details.
