• Beauty retouching for video is basically like stills retouching, getting rid of imperfections in skin, removing stray hairs, red veins from eyes etc. There's also set extensions and a surprising amount of compositing stuff as well.

    For the beauty stuff it's basically adjustment layers, masking, blurs or dust and scratches. I'm pretty sure there's a load of youtube vids on it. I'm an video editor not an AE artist but I use AE a fair bit and even I can do a lot of it, but if you get good (especially at trickier stuff like hair) you'll always get work, one of my biggest clients does a shit ton of beauty and fashion ads, they retouch everything and are in constant need of freelancers.

  • Thank you - that all sounds like stuff I can learn to do (or do already). If I go away and do some learning/practising/come up with work samples, would you be willing to give me your client's contact details?

  • Yeah no worries, just message me whenever you want and I'll send you the post producers details.
