Noise reduction filter useful?
does anyone use this in the transcode settings? I noticed that when I used the slider, it made the subjects face smoother.. Wondering if I should use it or not..

Use it only if you don’t mind transcoding taking about 10 times longer.
And no, I’m not kidding. 🙂

And for those thinking “hmmm, I’ll wait 10hrs if it’ll improve the look a bit”… don’t. I applied it to a 2hr project. More than 60 hours later, it was ready to begin the 2nd pass… I cancelled it. And, Task Manager said it was only using about 30% of the CPU horsepower! (Running 2.0 on a dual 3.0GHz Xeon workstation w/4GB RAM.)
My approach now is to consider an After Effects render using the noise reduction it offers. I’ll have the advantage of more detailed settings control, node rendering, etc..
Gee, sure would’ve been nice for the camera op to set things right in the first place!
