![]() Photon Pro Noise Reduction gave me the quickest results with the least fuss. Unfortunately - and this applies to all three of the tested plug-ins - there is no way to save settings for a next noise reduction session to fix footage shot with the same camera. It’s not complicated, but without a good understanding of its parameters, you’ll be losing a lot of time experimenting. Noise in footage that has been shot at decent light levels can be tackled with the default settings, but as soon as the noise starts becoming serious - as in my test footage - VideoDenoise requires a careful mix of noise levels, block sizes and temporal radius settings. ![]() When you start playing with VideoDenoise, you’ll notice that the effects are subtle unless you crank up the controls. Denoiser III is the most simple of all with only Reduce Noise, Smooth Colors and Preserve Detail controls and two sharpen controls. In contrast, Photon Pro offers a luma Noise Reduction and Chroma slider, a spatial and temporal radius control and a spatial mask. VideoDenoise has an inspector with only a few controls, including noise level and margin controls, temporal radius, block size, a method (3D or 2-step) and a channels control (YUV-based). I compared Crumplepop’s VideoDenoise with Red Giant’s Denoiser III and the older Photon Pro plug-in. It claims to beat noise efficiently, using a simple interface. FxFactory has a new noise reduction plug-in for Final Cut Pro X and Premiere Pro from Crumplepop. Noise is a problem, especially with small-sensor cameras.
