If you are an Adobe Premiere Pro, Sony Vegas, Avid, Edius or any other NLE user, you’ll have to use a third-party plugin to denoise your footage.įor this tutorial, I used Neat Video. The only software that comes to my mind that features a noise-reduction tool are DaVinci Resolve Studio and Final Cut Pro X. Most video editing software doesn’t come with a built-in noise reduction solution/plugin. The primary advice here and something to remember: noise reduction first, color-correction second. Indeed, you’ll remove that digital noise at the end of the process, but you’ll also lose more information and details in your image, simply because you’ll have to apply a much more substantial noise reduction. If you use noise reduction at the very end of your color-correction chain, you’ve been grading noise since the first node/layer. The reason to apply noise reduction before touching your colors is simple. No matter what camera you’re using, what picture profile it was shot on, or what post-production tool you use, remember that noise reduction must be applied BEFORE you do any color correction or color grading. There are tons of color correction/color grading tutorials on the Internet, but lately, I’ve seen a lousy habit proliferate.

Denoise your Footage the Right Way The thing most filmmakers want to avoid is undesirable digital noise to get a pleasant, non-disturbing, final image. Also, remember that any footage at any ISO settings has digital noise. Of course, other parameters such as your camera picture profile or the image sensor’s temperature, for example, can introduce digital noise in your footage. Still, sometimes you don’t have the choice, and you have to shoot at settings that would be unimaginable a couple of years ago, which results in digital noise in your footage. Indeed, modern camera sensors are getting better and better at handling digital noise and low-light situations. By doing so, you’re also introducing more digital noise in your final image. If you can’t get more light onto your subject and your aperture is already wide open, your only choice is to crank up your ISO settings.īy increasing your ISO settings, you are telling your camera to increase the voltage of an amplifier close to the sensor, which brightens the image. If you shoot video in low-light situations there are only a couple of things you can play with to get a correct exposure: lighting, aperture, and sensitivity (or ISO).
