Denoiser II
Presets
The default preset settings provide sufficient noise reduction for most purposes, however you can adjust individual settings to tweak the noise reduction to suit your footage
Motion Estimation
Denoiser II uses motion estimation to compare successive frames to decipher what is natural motion vs noise in the shot. Although high-speed camera movements present different noise reducing problems than slow pans, Denoiser II can preserve detail in both fast-moving action shots and slow pans and dollies
Workflow Efficiency
Denoiser II can save you time in other areas of your project, as the noise reduction may also smooth out flaws in skin or overexposure
Film and Video
Two modes let you characterize the noise so Denoiser II achieves the most accurate results. The video mode adjusts the luma and chroma channels to minimize noise. The Film mode provides adjustments for Red, Green and Blue channels
Keyframeable
Slider controls are keyframeable, allowing you to animate your settings over the duration of the clip. Check box settings are not keyframeable and are either on or off for the entire clip
