What's your question?

By: [ Editor ] Asked from United Kingdom

What do you prefer to use for de-graining plates?

It's something that there are a lot of options out there for, so it would be great to hear people's opinions on what they like to use for degraining plates, and what they've had the best experience with in the past....

I tested many available solutions around the end of 2007 and neat noise gave the best results. Vlad should really do a Nuke port, as awesome as after effects is I'd like it native. The only thing I meant to look at but ran out of time was greycstoration.

Same here. All our compers swear by it, but it would be really nice to have it in Nuke.

I’m going to be having to tie it into our pipe better and the box it’s on at the moment chokes on 4k. Have you made a semi-automated solution that you’d be able to talk about?

A Linux version would be good too.. It works via WINE, but that is hardly ideal..

Compound/temporal averaging reigns supreme here (of course when you CAN).

If not, Furnace DeNoise (not degrain!), Furnace DeGrain (it makes things blurrier than the denoise and tends to explode blues). Never tried neatnoise tho.

DeGrain is intended for still images, and DeNoise is for image sequences (according to the docs)

Using the Furnace tools here, too. I never tried a lot of different solutions, becaus I get quite good results with ist. But I heared that Noise Ninja should produce decent results for video-noise.

I've used Greycstoration on some footage before, and found the results were pretty good. Unfortunately, it was very slow and a major PITA to use. That was compensated for by the fact that it's free. I always thought it would be fun to see it as a Nuke plugin with some sane defaults, despite the fact that I found it quite slow.

We recently ran a comparison between Neat, Nuke's built-in degrains, Furnace and Revision's DE:Noise. Neat was quite nice, but having to go to After Effects is a pain. DE:Noise won because it does some lovely smart things temporally and it's available as an OFX plug. Be sure you apply it to log sources, though -- it doesn't pay attention to anything outside the 0-1 range.
