    I am finishing a color corection on a very nice production that was well produced in 720p. There are a couple of shots and one main scene that suffer from lower than optimum lighting. I need to de-video the look of this footage but have been stymied by noise creation at just about every step/attempt (including curves, levels, contrast, even various tinted blends/overlays)…. any ideas would be appreciated. at this point the best solution seems to have been shot on the set but that look isn’t right.

    Have you tried the Remove Grain effect, maybe above the color correction effects in the effects stack?

    Don’t forget to enable temporal filtering with Remove Grain. It should have been enabled by default, but the app was originally designed for photoshop so one of the developers might have forgotten to enable it for AE.

    steve- thanks for the reminder- that’s why I’d abandoned this filter for some time!
