There’s a load of automatic skin software out there, just google for it, mine’s free so, it’s up to you.

Thanks guys I appreciate the info!

Chris, I downloaded both files from the link but they’re missing a file (IMG_0181.jpg). How does this apply to the video? Is it just a mask layer that sits above a and allows for the colors to be manipulated?

just right click replace the image with your video, the skin smoother output comp has a smart blur on top that is defined by an alpha matte(the matte adj comp) which has controls in adjustment layer for inner and outer mattes.

You can also try the Remove Grain filter that comes with AE- sometimes that will do the trick.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate all your suggestions but unfortunately none of the recommendations worked for my footage. I got it to work using rotoscoping and motion tracking with translucent and feathered solids similar to the skin tones in the area. Seems to be more work but it is the only way I have tried that looks good. Thanks again.
