Adding Grain: Question For Current Resolve Users
Since mattes from other applications are supported, have any of you ever used a matte to simulate grain and if so, how does it affect real time playback? I’ve done this with After Effects to shorten render times and I thought since Resolve doesn’t have any sort of grain effect yet, this would be a decent option.

Or you could add grain later after all is done ?
I mean in the other app
Maybe you could post some sample grain then some other people could test it out ? 🙂

I was thinking of using the matte feature in Resolve because of it’s speed. Adding grain in Nuke and After Effects takes way too long. Creating a dozen or so custom grain mattes would save tons of time and you’d get instant results while still having flexibility.

But also. how about a plug in for noise reduction, it would be great to have the ability to do nice and clean noise reduction

The resolve can not composite two layers together. The matte feature is for coloring. You can color inside the matte or outside the matte. Thats all the matte feature will do.

“The resolve can not composite two layers together. The matte feature is for coloring.”You can composite a gallery image with a clip using a key. I guess technically that’s not a layer but that’s not the method I’m talking about anyway.
I was thinking about using mattes in combination with layer mixing. You can link any number of external mattes to an image. There are also additional controls for each external matte node that control the input and output of the matte. I can’t think of a reason why creating grain wouldn’t work since you can do any number of combinations using different layer priorities and layer mixing.
Grading each matte is exactly how you’d create the grain. For example I can see creating monochrome grain being pretty straight forward.

Since you have a copy, I was wondering if you could try this to see if it works…it’s my response to Nick’s post…

I was going to create a matte using After Effects or Nuke first, unless you can think of another application to use.

Combustion did have really nice grain … even with different stock options.

There are a lot of options out there for noise reduction and adding. There are not a lot of great options out there however. This is probably one of the best options available for taking noise out and introducing it back in. https://www.arri.de/digital_intermediate_systems/relativity.html
They have received huge compliments and I been able to see some results first hand.
