Moving on to the next shot in the dream sequence - this time we’re up close.
We have effectively killed the fluttering color noise in this shot while bringing our black levels back down to more natural levels. I will also adjust the color to make the chroma noise appear a little more like luminance noise by warming the temperature up and shifting the hue all the way to green. Now I’m selecting the blacks with a luminance qualifier and applying adjustments to pull the brighter noisy sections down.
I’ve blurred the selection a bit to blend the selected region with the un-selected regions of the frame a little more. From here, I am reducing the vibrance in the Creative panel before moving to the HSL/Secondary panel. What I’m attempting here is to increase the contrast to pop the shot a little bit and then bring up the blacks to wash out the actual recorded blacks to get them to a similar brightness level as the noise we want to get rid of.Īfter we’ve brought the blacks up, I am adding an adjustment layer over the shot to bring the blacks back down to a more reasonable level. As you can see, the film grain has really irritated the codec used to upload this video to the internet, and we’ve got some super-distracting noise in all of the channels - high, medium, and low.īecause this shot is super high-contrast, hiding the noise in the blacks should be no problem. Here is a still from a dream sequence in a short I shot on super 16mm several years ago. Today, we are looking at some quick and effective noise reduction tricks to use in any program - without a noise reduction plugin. We’ve gone in-depth on the causes of noise and methods for reducing noise in footage a few times before.
Need to clean up some noise in your footage, fast, but you don’t have any plugins on hand? We’ve got you covered with this technique.
