Motion Est. Type:
image. The default, 'faster', is less processor intensive, but less accurate. Choosing
'better' can effectively exclude motion more accurately, but is more processor
intensive. None lets you disable motion estimation altogether, resulting in the
application of temporal NR to the entire image.
Motion Range:
Three settings, 'small', 'medium', and 'large', let you set the speed of
motion that motion estimation should expect to exclude. A 'small' setting assumes
slow-moving subjects with little or no motion blur, allowing temporal NR to affect more
of the image at a given motion threshold setting. A 'large' setting assumes fast motion
with blur occupying a larger area of the image, which excludes more of the image from
temporal NR at the same motion threshold setting. Choose the setting that gives you
the best compromise between reducing noise and the introduction of motion artifacts
when adjusting the motion threshold parameter.
Temporal Threshold Controls
The temporal threshold parameters allow you to control which image characteristics get more
or less noise reduction.
Luma threshold:
to the luma component of the image. The range is 0–100, where 0 applies no noise
reduction at all, and 100 is the maximum amount. Too high a setting may eliminate fine
detail from the image.
Chroma Threshold:
component of the image. The range is 0–100, where 0 applies no noise reduction at all,
and 100 is the maximum amount. Too high a setting may eliminate fine color detail from
the image. However, you may find you can raise the chroma threshold higher than the
luma threshold with less noticeable artifacting.
Gang Luma Chroma:
ganged together so that adjusting one adjusts both. However, disabling this checkbox
ungangs these parameters, allowing you to adjust different noise reduction amounts to
each component of the image, depending on where the noise happens to be worst.
Motion:
Defines the threshold separating which moving pixels are in motion (above
this threshold) versus which moving pixels are static (below this threshold). Using
motion estimation, temporal NR is not applied to regions of the image that fall above
this threshold, to prevent motion artifacts by not applying frame-averaging to parts of
the image that are in motion. Lower values omit more of the image from temporal NR
by considering more subtle movements. Higher values apply temporal NR to more of
the image by requiring faster motion for exclusion. You can choose between 0 and 100,
where 0 applies temporal NR to no pixels, and 100 applies temporal NR to all pixels.
The default value is 50, which is a suitable compromise for many clips. Be aware that if
you set too high a motion threshold, you may see artifacts in moving parts of the image.
Blend:
Lets you dissolve between the image as it's being affected by the temporal NR
parameters (at 0.0) and the image with no noise reduction (100.0). This parameter lets
you easily split the difference when using aggressive temporal noise reduction.
Spatial NR Controls
The spatial NR controls let you smooth out regions of high-frequency noise throughout the
image, while attempting to avoid softening by preserving detail. It's effective for reducing noise
that temporal NR can't.
