DE:Noise reduces noise using novel feature-sensitive spatial filtering along with time-based optical flow methods!

DE:Noise handles spurious frame-to-frame defects ranging from fine digital/electronic noise to blotchy spots (e.g. dirt on the film). DE:Noise combines motion estimation techniques with feature-sensitive, edge-preserving spatial filtering methods to reduce the visual impact of various problems such as: noisy video (that can happen with low-light capture), CG renders affected by ray-tracing sampling artifacts, excessive film grain, snow, fingerprints and dust captured during film scan/transfer and printing, drop-outs and many other defects.

Here are some key features of "DE Noise":

· Pre-processing contrast controls to help enhance the noise for easier elimination.
· Smart spatial filtering controls that allow for the spatial smoothing of noise without smoothing over important features in the image sequence.
· 8 different temporal filtering methods that use optical flow motion estimation to correlate images over time in order to reduce noise and other artifacts.
· Post-processing to help punch up the result, or to undo the preprocessing contrast enhancement.
· Post sharpening option for when the denoising process makes the result softer than desired.
· 8 bits per channel (bpc) support within Premiere Pro, up to 16bpc support in Autodesk Combustion and Eyeon Fusion/Vision, and unclamped floating point support in After Effects, Apple Final Cut Pro and Apple Motion.
