Free FCP filters - facelight
A list of all of the free filters for FCP - complete with descriptions - from Simon Kirby.
Pick of the bunch (although there are quite a few I’ve never used) is the FaceLight filter from Haiku.
Facelight is a keyframable filter used to brighten up a definable segment of the picture - duplicating the most useful functionality of the Power Windows feature found in high-end color grading software.
Many colorists will give the heros/heroines face some extra pop with subtle brightening. Facelight does that job reasonably well and very quickly. I’ve also found it useful in many other circumstances where the subject is somewhat hidden in shadow.
