I have a similar conversation going on in a neighboring forum, but since this is the issue at hand that I’ve just solved, I think it needs to be shared.

This same issue with the changing color of the Dynamic Linked AE comps was also happening with a post-zoom effect native in Premiere Pro. I reenact a zoom by scaling up the 8K footage in my 4K…

GENTLEMEN!

I think I may have discovered a possible root of the problem (well, at least I think I think).

This same issue with the changing color of the Dynamic Linked AE comps was also happening with a post-zoom effect native in Premiere Pro. I reenact a zoom by scaling up the 8K footage in my 4K comp, however, the goofy color shift would end the…

I’ve just spent another FOUR hours trying to solve this mess with no luck. My brain is spinning every which direction as I spend much needed time problem solving, rather than editing.

Here is a link to two sequential frames: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ik427nbogycncqr/AAA5zj9WWKnfY03K-XuJQS_ya?dl=0

The first being properly color corrected, the…

Just tried a couple different renders and yes, the problem persists with all of my attempts.

Erik.

Sorry to dig up bad memories, but did you find a solution to this problem? I’m currently facing the same exact thing as you were.

Thanks for the clarification. Oh, the irony of the word “correction” in this situation.

I’ve checked every possible layer, frame by frame, and the only keyframes ending on the particular frame are the scale/position. Oddly enough, when I delete both scale/position keyframes the problem stops. BUT, if I only delete the scale keyframes and the…

AE Dynamic Linked Comps are raising the same issue. Both change color space/noise of the image.

Let the hair pulling continue.

Yep! 2010 Mac Pro with a little bit of TLC (2 x 3.46 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeons, 96 GB RAM, Radeon RX 580 8 GB). You’d be surprised how well it plays back Helium’s 8K files.

And yep. Fully aware of the smart-rendering workflow. Utilizing it throughout the duration of this project.

My main issue now stems from AE dynamic linked comps playing back with…

Just to keep this conversation going (and to hopefully prevent me from pulling out any more of my hair), another (much less severe) issue has arisen.

Now, for some odd reason, the noise profiles from my linked AE comps in the same timeline do NOT match the source .R3D’s in the same timeline, despite using the same exact clips and having the same…

Also, for what it’s worth, I’m not using any proxies during this specific shot. Just the aforementioned layers.

<div>I will definitely try it in AE and let you know.
</div><div>

I tried deleting the Scale/Position keyframes and applying the “Transform” video effect instead, but before I even attempted the zoom, the color space changed with just the effect applied.

Weird.

</div>

This is a strange one.

The opening shot of my feature utilizes a post-zoom, aka keyframing the scale/position of the beginning/end of the shot. However, when the zoom/keyframes finish, there is a DRASTIC change in the color space (not displaying my final color grade – blueish shadows – but something completely out of left field – green shadows).

I…

Interesting update, Oliver!

I remember trying to adjust the denoiser via the RAW control panel, but for some reason, Premiere wouldn’t accept the adjustments (the slider would immediately slide back to zero). However, after clicking multiple times for some odd reason, the slider remained and…

…voila!

A LOT of the chroma noise disappeared which…

Hahaha. DING! DING! DING! Tero wins.

This is incredibly helpful information, Oliver. Thank you very much.

I think I have a plan of attack, but I just want to consult you and Tero with one more thing: is the BEST workflow at hand here (aka highest quality preservation, not concerning render times) for me to export the source .R3D with the noise reduction FIRST, then apply my color…

I’d like to think of it more like timeline “treats,” just a massive overindulgence. Ha!

Maybe it’s just simply time for me to bite to Resolve bullet and see what everyone’s been talking about for the last ten years. Haha.

Resolve’s built-in noise reductions seems to work well from your experience?

I was really, really hoping that someone would have a magic answer involving this. I’ll be the first to admit that the footage is SLIGHTLY underexposed, but should not warrant such a massive, unacceptable noise level that I’m currently dealing with.

I’ve researched the topic via RedCINE-X without much luck, hence my using RG Denoiser. But if…

Hmmm. Interesting. I’m just starting to read about this workflow, especially regarding the feature world.

Do you have any experience with this? Obviously, quality must not be sacrificed, hence my worry of two exports.

Is there a particular codec that won’t sacrifice quality with the two renders/allow the Denoiser to work more efficiently?

I appreciate your empathy! Certainly plenty to work with.

I’ve considered Neat Video, but from my research, Denoiser III’s render times are allegedly faster (plus, I already own the software).

I’ve previously exported the entire timeline for my mixer (will of the aforementioned layers EXCEPT the Denoiser) with manageable times. Granted, it was…
