Download: facebetter.net/edit.
Before you start:
- macOS on Apple silicon (M1 / M2 / M3 / M4).
- Final Cut Pro (or Motion) installed.
Install
- Download the macOS zip and unzip it.
- Move Facebetter FCP Beauty.app into Applications (or
~/Applications).
- Open the app and click Set up for Final Cut (registers the plugin and installs the Motion template).
- Fully quit Final Cut Pro, reopen it, then find Facebetter Beauty under Effects and drag it onto a clip.
No admin password is required for the usual install path.
The same setup also installs the Motion template so you can use the effect in Motion.
If macOS says the app is damaged
Builds are not signed or notarized yet. Gatekeeper may show “damaged”, “cannot be opened”, or “cannot be verified”.
- Prefer: right-click the app → Open → Open.
- Or: System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.
- Or in Terminal (adjust the path if needed):
Then open the app again and finish Set up for Final Cut.
