BEST PRACTICES for Noise Reduction ft. Neat Video | Davinci Resolve 18 Tutorial 

Out of who knows how many experts, converts and gurus etc., your video is almost the ONLY one that touches the “noise reduction” issue in a feasible and very useful way, THANKS A TON!🙏🙏🙏🖖

amazing contents! could you please make a video on how to correct flickering? i am currently living in a pal area but i don't wanna give up my 2.5x slowmo filming at 60 pfs and breaking the shutter rule, would me magic if you could compare neat video (or an alternative) to davinci resolve deflicker!

Thanks

When you say “front”, do you mean “FIRST” in the node tree? (Meaning before other effects/corrections/grading are applied?)And when you say “back”, do you mean LAST in the node tree? Want to double check. Also, thank you very much.

Danny, excellent video, thank you. My question would be if you're going to do the denies using the video at the end, would you do it before or after the Dehancer plug-in node?

Qualifier? Not familiar... do you have a video about that

If you dont push too much the Davincis NoiseReduction, it is more than ok., and you don need to loose detail. I usually only use the chromatica bar to reduce the chromatic noise.

There's also a technique where you split the image into RGB using the Splitter node. You then examine which channel has the most noise and you apply noise reduction to that channel. You can even apply varying levels of noise reduction into all the color channels.

I'd love to see your take on mimicking a black mist filter + halation in Davinci 👌🏻

nice video. what if i just want to put noise reduction over my entire vlog? does neat video have an "auto" setting for a long video?

Although most testing is better if it is broken down to the simplest forms - Noise Reduction is a smoothing technique and pretty much the opposite of grain in that nature. Your small example there has no advanced grading techniques that involve add textures - sharpness or even mid detail into the makeup of the grade. And if you had those as part of your grade - swapping them and making an assumption as to where it is better suited might be totally different. The idea as you explained in your video and the most logical to me, is that when you do it near the front of the node tree, your objective as in most color correcting is scene referred and if for some reason the photography/lighting is not shot very well then you are working on fixing that - and that alone. But when putting it at the end - there is a problem of the software being able to tell the difference between texture and detail and noise. There is the argument that while you are grading - you might be causing the noise, and/or enhancing but really if you are a decent colorist you should know when that happens and deal with it where it is happening. But as it is a digital process ( in Resolve grading ) there is all kinds of mixed ideas of film processes and order. Especially with Halation and Film Grain etc. which was organic in the film process. I tend to always do all smoothing and blurring near the front to the middle of the order because when done after something like film grain - where ever the smoothing or blurring is done - it manipulates and ruins the grain. So I always suggest to do grain near the end - this is also the case with texture pop or and mid detail or sharpening etc.

Name camera please

Hi Danny, is it possible to put the neat video in the timeline node?

Slightly off topic but how come RU-vid compression did not kill the fine grain in this video (for example on your face)? Dou you have a secret code to bypass the RU-vid compression 😉? Nice upload!

Hard to demonstrate NR on RU-vid with the Compression... :/ but thanks anyways

After applying noise reduction the system is getting really slow. Kindly suggest ways how the system can run more efficiently after applying noise reduction.

My personal experience with Temporal is only bad. Same.

great work,in the next video kindly try teaching a new look to us.let's say im not poinitng but Oppenheimer look🥸
