Redcine - build 90 - NR

[Chris Swinbanks]

So the Noise Reduction setting in the latest Redcine has been limited to NRff or NR:enabled, rather than the low, medium, high settings in build 82.
I was reasonably happy just using the "low" setting to minimise the patterning, particularly in blue & red, although ideally I'd still like to be able to adjust them individually.
What's the the "enabled" setting equate to.... is it medium? It appears to be a little heavier-handed than I think I'd want to use all the time....

Will we see a level of choice again, or is this now a "fixed" setting?

ps Graeme... white pixel fix is now good on that clip.... thanks!

I asked about NR on individual channels a while back but received no answer. Would like to see it implemented & yes please bring back the variable NR options.

The NR is completely new in this build. It's chroma NR only, and can also chroma de-moiré, which is nice.

This is an area we're actively working in to fine tune, so thanks for the feedback.

Thanks Graeme.
Just to be clear, I'm looking at Full res, individual colour channels when looking at the effect of the NR.
In the previous build, I liked what low NR was doing to Blue channel to remove the cross-hatch patterning (whats the correct terminology for that?), and felt I didn't necessarily need it applied to R/G to well lit daytime material.
On night time shots I feel I would have liked the option to add some NR to Red channel also, but so far I've not seen a case where I felt the Green channel needed any NR.
Every little bit of NR softens the image, and my concern is for VFX work and minimising any image softening....

cheers
Chris

I do not see any change in any OLPF settings.... I mean there is no effect when I change it, or I do not see it. Should I expect some very obviouse changes or it is not really noticable?

I also see zero effect with NR enabled

I also see zero effect with NR enabled

Hey Guys,

NR in build 90 does nothing visually. It wasn't always this way. I know Anders has a thread that showed that NR was doing a great job.

Is this a bug? I've got some shots that really could use a bit of NR, is it like the hightlight recovery control, that something else needs to be wiggled to get it to take effect?

Thanks.

I also cannot see that the new NR does much AND would like to subscribe to the individual channel idea.

It would generally be fantastic if it was possible to treat each channel individually throughout the app. Not for CC, but one-light.
