![]() Making further adjustments to the Shadow Offset will concentrate more smoothing in the darker areas of your footage and will automatically be adjusted within the maximum range, depending on the Noise Reduction amount you’ve set. You can open up the Advanced Settings group and change the pull-down menu from Medium to High. If you choose the Motion Estimation option, its best to also change the Noise Hint setting to High. But keep in mind, this will greatly affect the performance speed in rendering times. If your footage has a lot of moving objects or camera movement in it, then selecting the Motion Estimation check-box will automatically preserve edges and details more accurately. With the Advanced setting in Denoiser II you can more accurately pinpoint ranges of your footage to apply a smoothing effect to. Often times, just simply increasing the amount of Noise Reduction beyond 100% (up to 300%) will smooth out enough of the noise in the footage to make it acceptable. ![]() In most cases, just simply applying Denoiser II to your footage with its default settings will do the trick, unless the noise is exceptionally heavy. Knocking out this noise with blur filters will only give you a muddy, unfocussed look to your footage.ĭenoiser II analyses your footage and determines the areas where noise is most predominant and knocks it back while retaining contrast, edge definition and detail clarity. Noise appears as colored pixels in flat shaded areas and shadows with little contrast or definition in underexposed or poorly lit settings. We’ve all encountered it – often disappointingly so after shooting what “looked” like a great shot in the field through the camera’s viewfinder or LCD screen, ends up being full of noise in the shadows and underexposed areas of our footage when we pull it up into our NLE. The latest release v1.3, Denoiser II is compatible with Final Cut Pro 7, After Effects CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6 and Premiere Pro CS5, CS5.5, CS6Īdditional controls and automated processes for Motion Estimation, Separate Fields and more advanced features in fine tuning the amount of noise in details. ![]() Red Giant had originally licensed the Denoiser code from another company, which was acquired by Google in 2011, so they rebuilt it from the ground-up and made it more robust and stable across the board. Thankfully, Red Giant has updated Magic Bullet Denoiser II (v 1.3) – available as a stand-alone plugin or part of the Magic Bullet Suite to help eliminate the noise while retaining the details. Today’s DSLRs and HD Camcorders allow us to shoot at higher ISO and lower light scenarios than ever before – but with the smaller sensor sizes typical in prosumer cameras, this capability also introduces a great deal of noise. ![]()
