DaVinci Resolve: De-age or age subjects with Face Age Transformer

Demo summary

The video shows the Face Age Transformer tool being used to track faces and apply AI-driven aging or de-aging effects to subjects of different ages.

Step-by-step

  1. Drag the AI Face Age Transformer onto your node
  2. Click Detect to find faces in the frame
  3. Track the face forwards and backwards
  4. Hide the overlay to see the results
  5. Adjust the age slider to de-age or age the subject

Options

  • De-age subjects by a few years for a softening effect
  • Increase age to make subjects look older

Watch out for

  • The effect tends to smooth out wrinkles too much on older faces, appearing unnatural
  • Extreme aging settings can make the subject's eyes appear red and creepy
  • The tool does not provide Marvel-level de-aging quality and can look fake if over-applied

Tips

  • Use the tool very subtly for the best results
  • Apply the effect to middle-aged subjects rather than very old subjects for better de-aging
  • Use the aging effect for creative storytelling, such as an ad showing someone aging after a hard day

Highlights

It's not like Marvel-level quality. But, if you take off a few years, it can just soften people up a little bit.
