Degrain tool?

[cwpark]

Hi all,
Our customer shooted REDONE 4K with 35mm Lenses (Ultra-Prime).
Some clips with dark area, there is a lot of Grain.
When we have selected in Blue Channel, we can see a lot of Noise.
Is there any Degrain tool or a solution to remove the grain?
Thank you for your help~

Neat Image / Neat Video are the best I ever tried, and I tried a lot of them

Neat Image is a standalone tool and/or Photoshop plugin, you can use Automate on an image sequence.

Neat Video is an AE plugin, once the Adobe Importer is released it might come in very handy.

I highly recommend The Foundry's Furnace degrain... And thanks to our promotion You can get it free for Your project along with Nuke:

I'd like to add Noise Ninja.

But if you are degraining the Blue Channel alone, you might be able to get along with a regular degrainer in most professional color grading tools.

Neat Video is only for windows I think. To Bad
Can you use Noise Ninja on video in Photoshop CS3 or will it work in AE also?

 

[Uli Plank]

Works in CS3 (Intel) and the Pro version has standalone batch.

Won't work in AE, but give it's degrainer a try as well. Used to be quite good when it still was called Grain Surgery, and it can handle single channels. Might be slower than Noise Ninja, though.

Nomad are you saying you could load Neat Video on an INTEL Mac under OSX.
If so how?

If the noise is from shooting under Tungsten light please see this thread:

Noise and grain are different and are delt with by different methods, or am I wrong?

 

[Gregor Hagey]

I think that grain is just another way of saying noise. Technically digital images have noise, whereas film has grain.
