  • De-noise, stabilization, and wiggle workflow for 5D super underexposed footage

    Posted by Pieter Viljoen on May 31, 2013 at 6:21 am

    I got footage from a single 5D, extremely noisy. I need to do something about that, as well as stabilize a number of shots to some degree, and then add some effects. Now what I’m wondering is when I should do these. It might be me color correcting these in Speed Grade as well, and because of the incredible underexposure, I’m wondering if me trying to “fix” any of these issues will make things worse, and also what my workflow should be once I have picture lock.

    Thanks guys

    Noisy footage is hard to stabilize in ae. Use mocha instead, im not sure it will be easy.

    Use denoiser effect remove grain effect(noise reduction settings) or use Denoiser 2 by Magic bullet.

    Hope that helps

    Actually, I have the Magic Bullets Denoiser, The BCC one, and what I consider the best, the Neat Video. https://www.neatvideo.com/

    It does a great job. I’ve filmed three camera shoots of plays and did one in the round last year. Even though all the cameras were the same make, I told the operators to keep auto gain off and gain at 0db.

    One decided to up his gain to get more brighter footage, the noise introduced was extreme.

    The thumbnail and all angles filming from Audience right were cleaned up with Neat Video.
