Need to soften image of talent.
I have a close-up of talent that, in 1080, shows too much detail. Any suggestions how to soften things up using Vegas 13 included plug-ins, Magic Bullet or New Blue plug-ins? Thanks. (This is the first time (!) I’ve shot HD and it’s incredible, the image resolution; but very unforgiving. Can’t wait to shoot some beautiful faces soon, though.)
As always thanks so much to you guys…Johnny In Orlando

Ohhh just wait until your first 4k sot.
Alright with the plugs on hand you might try a glow effect from magic bullet. Then there is a convoluted process of creating a mask in your favorite way. IE chroma key, secondary color corrector or mask generator. Then applying a gaussian blur to a child track below via multiply mask. with the original footage at the bottom.
I know you will ask for details and I would have to make a tutorial on the process but if you have some spare $$$ BorisFX has a plugin called BCC Smooth Tone in their image restoration plugins. It’s well worth the purchase price.So to reiterate-
1 Create mask
2 Create parent child relationship
3 Apply blur to child track (not Media)
4 Composite over original footage.
This is still iffy and must be used sparingly

Feathered Mask and Blur area need by key framing.
You could try Sony Soft Contrast, there is a diffusion setting there that can soften. Hard to get the setting just right.
NewBlue Selective touch up plugin has soften and blending features. Again use with a feathered mask.
There is also https://www.digitalanarchy.com/beautyVID/specs.html – Digital Makeup plug that should work via openFX in Vegas.
