About Face Director
Face Director is a plugin from Baskl.ai that provides face-manipulation tools for After Effects, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Nuke. It supports both macOS and Windows operating systems. The plugin can improve poor acting, fix continuity errors, retarget eye movements, and allow broader facial adjustments. Version 1.10.3, released May 16, 2026, builds on a faster backend introduced in 1.10.0 and adds bug fixes and performance tweaks. Earlier updates in April 2026 addressed bugs, and version 1.7.1 corrected a licensing issue on aescripts. The plugin is listed as free in this catalog, though pricing may change.
