August 12, 2011 at 5:42 pm in reply to: Noise removal on DSLR footage tips & techniques

I just purchased the Pro version for AE and I have a few questions after reading this thread in terms of optimal settings. attached are some screen grabs of how I have it setup to take in and remove grain on my Color renders (10 bit floating) ProResHQ 23.98fps shots.

any help would be great and also do you guys just drop on the effect or do you actually fine tune in options?

wouldl ove to know best practices and settings as I have a bunch of shots to remove dslr noise from.
cheers

Thank you for your time Kevin!

Can you possibly explain the different debayer settings in Resolve? I believe I will need to deliver proRes4444 1920×1080 23.98 quicktimes for broadcast use but I am not sure what will make the most sense for render settings in Resolve. Total newbie question i realize sorry. any help would be great in understanding output render setting.
Thank you
Andrew

I am sorry I should have been a little clearer Kim.

So its going to be general location settings with different subjects so it will indeed be a lot of setting all one location with a look created and adjusting only slightly as needed with the new subject in the frame. again not many nodes should be required as more of a general grade is needed.

Also if they don’t decide its necessary to go back to the the r3d’s but instead use prores4444 1080 files transcoded by an on set DIT with a Rocket card how best would I configure my system to handle that if need be. Could Color do the job or would it go much faster with Resolve still?

More and more it seems a Rocket card rental might be needed – how about if I get the Cubix desktop expander 2 that allows for 2 more cards i believe (maybe one 285 & a Redrocket rental for this job and then after just a 2nd additional 285 totaling x3)?

thank you for your help

thanks for the breakdown Kevin.

So its a grade on all of the footage to be used for multiple things not just offline editing…it will need to look polished and graded of course but probably not require a bunch of nodes like you discussed.

Debayer will follow your advice and keep it half premium – what happens when i select higher qualities besides slower renders?

So how does having multiple GPU’s in a Cubix help then if for this Epic job the only that matters is a rocket card? Is it just the amount of nodes that GPU enhances speed for or is r3d really just the problem requiring a Rocket card for debayering? Comparing for example other formats like h.264, alexa, log, ProRes, etc? After this Red job I do want this box to continue to be decent for whatever formats I throw at it in the future but nothing too crazy.

thank you

Hi Kevin
thanks for the reply!

Ok forgot to mention we have a Fibre card in there too going to large office RAID in machine room. So right now you can account for these slots already:
Nvidia 120/285
BMD Extreme 3D+
Fibre Card

Just to clarify sorry i am a newbie on this but its for broadcast and most likely wont have many nodes you are correct about that. What will be the differences in quality between those debayer settings you mentioned? I know I will be rendering out 1080p 23.98 files for delivery. It seems you are more considered about a Rocket card than having 2 more GPU cards in a Cubix is that because of the timeframe and hours I have total. Not sure how many Red jobs will come after so I need to also justify the purchase unless maybe I try to rent one for the week?

I assume we will be grading with the r3d’s and not for example transcoded ProRes 4444 files but I want to be ready for either or both just in case any crazy requests happen.

Any info you can provide or expand upon here for a newbie to Davinci would be great!

Thank you
