Please Add Smart AI Face & Body Beauty Tools Like CapCut

DaVinci Resolve is an incredible platform for creators, and with the rise of short-form content and influencer-driven video, there’s a growing opportunity to enhance its appeal even further.

Apps like CapCut have set a strong standard for AI-powered face and body enhancement tools that are fast, intuitive, and require little to no manual setup.

CapCut features include:
• One-tap skin smoothing, face reshaping, and teeth whitening
• AI-driven body shaping and posture correction
• Real-time previews with natural-looking results

With over 200 million monthly active users, CapCut shows how important easy, attractive visual enhancement tools have become for modern creators.

By bringing similar automated beauty enhancements into Resolve—especially ones that work as effortlessly as CapCut’s—Blackmagic can appeal to the fast-growing market of content creators who want to look their best without the complexity of manual refinement.

You could also attract new free users by offering a simplified version of these tools, similar to CapCut’s approach. Then, reserve the more advanced face and body enhancement features for the Studio version—adding clear value while encouraging upgrades.

It would be a meaningful step toward making Resolve even more powerful and creator-friendly.

Hi Shaheed,
Yes, thank you—I’ve been using both OFX Beauty and Face Refinement, and they’ve been doing a solid job. I’m also looking forward to upgrading to version 20 and seeing the new enhancements to Face Refinement. It’s exciting to see how far the tool has come.

One thing I’d love to suggest—just as a point of curiosity—is to take a quick look at how CapCut handles facial and body adjustments. The simplicity and speed of their AI-driven tools really stand out, especially for creators who want clean, polished results with minimal tweaking. I think there’s a lot of inspiration to be found there, and seeing how they approach it might spark some ideas for future improvements.

And here’s why that matters: CapCut has over 500 million users, while DaVinci Resolve currently has around 5.47 million. That’s a massive difference—one that highlights an untapped opportunity.

Bringing more content creators into the Resolve ecosystem doesn’t just mean boosting user numbers. It means:
• More community feedback
• More demand for new features
• More revenue for Studio upgrades
• And ultimately, faster development and long-term sustainability for the platform

If you’re a pro filmmaker thinking, “I don’t need these influencer tools,” that’s totally valid—but adding accessible, automated beauty features doesn’t detract from Resolve’s professional core. It simply broadens the appeal, pulling in users who may eventually grow into the full capabilities of Resolve Studio.

These creators are shaping the future of video. If Resolve becomes their go-to from the start, they’ll likely stick with it as they scale up.

Where did these numbers come from?

It seems that CapCut is owned by TikTok and according to them it is mainly used by TikToc content creators. They say they have over 1 billion downloads on Android. Interestingly CapCut is banned in the US.

Ah, that figures.

I'm more interested in that 5.47 mln of Resolve users - any source for that ?

Looks like it - I mean - almost 6 mln for the factor STANDARD in color grading seems incredibly low for a planet with 7 bln people.

Apologies for the earlier misinformation. I misunderstood the source and shared inaccurate figures—thank you to those who pointed it out.

That said, CapCut’s rapid growth in popularity is well-documented. For example, this recent report from AppFigures shows just how fast it’s climbing the charts: https://appfigures.com/resources/insights/20240426?f=5

From personal experience: I spend days in DaVinci Resolve doing face and body touchups for long-form content. Meanwhile, creators using CapCut benefit from superior, AI-powered tools that significantly reduce time while delivering amazing results. It’s a gap that’s becoming hard to ignore—especially for solo creators and small teams.

Also, here is a breakdown of the TicTok Capcut ban:

• Congress mandated a ByteDance divestiture law in April 2024.
• Apps were banned Jan 19 2025 following a Supreme Court decision.
• Trump’s Jan 20 executive order paused enforcement by 75 days — restoring the apps.
• CapCut came back online Jan 21, with continued protection until mid‑June due to another Trump delay.
• President Trump leveraged this to rebuild his appeal to younger users and position himself as a negotiator with China.

Davinchi Resolve has a real chance of capturing a sea of creators currently paying Capcut $19 a month.

CapCut is the best tool today for face and body beauty touch-up if you need speed, simplicity, and automatic results.

DaVinci Resolve cannot currently compete in that specific area; its Face Refinement FX is strong for skin tone and smoothing the face but it doesn’t offer reshaping or body edits, and it requires a much slower and tedious manual workflow.

If Resolve added CapCut’s AI beauty engine, it would combine instant cosmetics with high-end grading — creating a tool unmatched in the industry.
