A.D.D for motion

[Christoffer Glans]

A simple question, has A.D.D ever been used for motion pictures? The render time is monstrous and it's probably only used for stills, but with enough firepower it would be possible to render out DPX sequences with A.D.D. Is anyone doing this? Are the benefits well worth the extra render time (even for paid work)?

it used in low light conditions and on some critical shots.
Is the rendering time is 7 seconds per frame, this may be going off at half time if REDCINE-x would use the best of dual-processor resources.
For me it worked very well, better than a denoise.
Obviously the costs increase for rendering time but the customer was happy and found a compromise.
Although many do not approve of this for the movement. hehe I like

I'd love to know as well, if there is a way to automate it I wouldn't mind the wait if it results in the best picture possible.

I've done short work with it, but for motion there's better options for the common reasons you'd use A.D.D. Which most of the time comes down to noise reduction.

For still export however, still pretty cool.

Yeah you can use it for motion, there's a selection when your outputting do do more than just 1 frame

Works great to give a ultra clean look, but definitely kinda plasticy on skin etc

Thanks for the info Phil, I'll have to process some of my lowlight r3d timelapses for fun with and see how it looks

I used it a bunch of times on full length commercials when rental clients for different reasons starved the sensor for light. Best possible way to decrease noise as I see it. And even if using a slow computer a few minutes per frame is not much if it saves a project. Not too many years ago we where happy to scan 4k 16bit from film at 30 seconds per frame as the only way to get 4k.
