Now this is what I call a tutorial! Love how you explain the mechanism of the tool and how powerful it could be. And also how dangerous it is to overdo it - with your own references. Thanks
OMG. This is fantastic. It seems like all of your YT videos are a Masterclass in themselves. Thanks so much for this. Now, I'm going to watch the video about making Resolve run 75% faster. You're the GOAT.
Great tutorial! Chroma noise is truly unpleasant. For years, I've shot in on Blackmagic cameras (the original, 4k and 6k), and that noise on raw footage has always driven me crazy. DaVinci Resolve's noise reduction tools are effective, but on high ISOs they can blur all the details and yet not remove the chroma noise, as you showed on the video. I've been studying and experimenting with a new approach that focuses on preserving image details while reducing chroma noise on heavily noisy images. I've discovered that with a combination of Resolve's tools and a custom-made DCTL, it's possible to transform chroma noise into a film-like texture. Works perfectly in the workflow on the video. It also removes some compression artifacts! I'd like to send it to you to try out the powergrades.
Ok, nice informative video. But what blew my mind was that ghosting effect. I had an event few months ago and people were dancing and i didn't have any clue why there is so much ghosting in the frame. I use all the time 5 frames on temporal NR. THANK YOU!!
Bro you are himmmm I've been searching for about 2 hours now for how to fix the noise in Slog2 and boom you gave the solution. Love you man!!! My regards to your wife
We've used this tool quite a bit and it does wonders for noisy low light footage. If you use it judiciously and experiment you'll be able to revive all but the most noisy footage.
Great video... Best explanation I've Heard about what Temporal and Spatial NR. There's another advanced method using grouping and secondaries to denoise only the problematic luminance values. That works great for long forma projects where You cannot spend too much time in every single shot.
Holy smokes - great tutorial! Instant sub man, thank you for the content, I will be back for more. I recently picked up DaVinci for post processing of my Unreal Engine renders, they sometimes come out noisy, can't wait to test those tips and see how those animations level up!
Qazi I do a lot of work for low lit restaurants and this method has helped me get back 2-3 stops using my xh2s. To me this feature extends my cameras low light capabilities tremendously. Sometimes I do get a magenta cast in the shadows or like a blueish cast but I can usually remove it by adding contrast.
I have seen some colorist adjust sat vs lum to reduce saturation to 0 in dark shadows so there will be no color cast there. I don't know if that would be useful to you.
Thanks so much for explaining how the sharpening tool works! I also grade photos in Resolve as a hobby and I was wondering if the noise reduction could work without moving parts? In my case I would only have oen picture to go of.
Hey there, a very clean and nice way to reduce noise, thanks for this one! But hey, please tell us what's your color management settings in davinci project settings for blackmagic. I see you're using color space transform in node tree two times? I get very confused as i must set Rec-709-A as my timeline color space in project settings because operating on mac.
You're using the sharpening in a less than ideal way. Set the radius to a less-adjusted amount, like 0.47 or 0.48. Then crank the scaling more. You get more fine detail. Or do a combination of both.
Hei Qazi. Quick question. What do you use to record your key presses for the screen recording? Thanks in advance and thanks for making these videos! 👏🏻
awesome, thanks for this video. I have a question. I have been grading some types of projects using groups. In this workflow I tend to use NR on the Pre-Clip section so it applies to all of the clips with generalized settings (similar to yours but change depending on location, camera and all that). Would you recommend against using noise reduction on the pre-clip inside of groups, does it work as smart as in the clip node tree? Thanks for any info and all your videos!
@@theqazman thanks for the reply! I found that grading using groups really speeds up my process and efficiency. I have been doing a general "Look DNA" in the post-clip, individual clip adjustments, NR on pre clip (easy to disable), I can do different CST when different cameras are used with a different group and then grain on the Timeline area (I have been playing with grain on the pre clip as well to imitate film scans).
@@CarlosPerezFilms I roll with a similar setup when lighting larger projects. It's a good workflow on "identical" groups, but the granular options on varying light setups can be tricky. One size does not fit all circumstances. So I prefer building a handful different preset NR nodes to combat discrepancies and use them on the clip structure.
>> Technique that I pretty much use on every single professional project But telling you about it for the first time. How come?? Waqas... How many of our prod videos could've been fixed if you shared it before!
I'm finding Topaz AI denoise is very good as is NEAT video. That's not to knock DaVinci, it's just that it's not as good as these specialised products.
Hi everyone, I needed one help, I am new to davinci, I created a text message effect, which actually tracks the phone and pops message, i want to reuse this, now when i export this fusion comp, and reimport, because it has tracker which is no longer applicable in new scene, it doesnt show anything, even when i do tracking for new scene, how to fix this? @Qazi
@@theqazmanthis is amazeballs. trying it out now. I had no idea what that A/B thing did ! very cool and fast breakdown of the NR panel . About to explore your vids,
Rad. I should send you some footage from a night race where I was trying to get 240fps slowmo and it came out VERY DARK. See if you can show us all how to bring something back from the dead. Also! When are you doing the color grading challenge again?! Been dying to see the next episode. 🫶🏻

Let's go! 😀💪🏽
This is it, by far the best NR tutorial I've seen (watched about half a dozen last week) - thanks so much! Sending it on to my team
Let's go!! Happy to help, brother.
@@theqazman thank you, what about using temporal and spatial in videos with fast moving objects, same method?
Absolutely fantastic tutorial, thanks. DaVinci Resolve is something else. Amazing software.
OMG. This is fantastic. It seems like all of your YT videos are a Masterclass in themselves. Thanks so much for this. Now, I'm going to watch the video about making Resolve run 75% faster. You're the GOAT.
Appreciate the love.
Love the audio fx, bits and bups. Makes it much more evident that you love doing this. Another banger, buddy.
I love doing this. 😀
I am a little late but this was outstanding. Definitely shooting you a follow.

Appreciate the love. 🤗
Every video or yours is 10/10 my man. Love it !
Appreciate the love.
Best explanation of how this works I have seen after so many years. Thx!
Ayyy. 😀
We've used this tool quite a bit and it does wonders for noisy low light footage. If you use it judiciously and experiment you'll be able to revive all but the most noisy footage.
I finally understand how to use the blur and sharpen. Thank you!
Happy to help

Best Tutorial on noise reduction I've seen 👌 👍😎
Let's go! 💪🏽
Thank you Qazi for another banger.🙏🙏
😀🙏🏽
Great work as always man, thanks for sharing your method!
You're welcome
That's what I was looking for, thank you very much 🌞
Holy smokes - great tutorial! Instant sub man, thank you for the content, I will be back for more. I recently picked up DaVinci for post processing of my Unreal Engine renders, they sometimes come out noisy, can't wait to test those tips and see how those animations level up!
It should help but let me know after you try it. Happy to help.
I always learn something new when I see your videos!
Thank you.
Thank you, Qazi, for including practice footage in your tutorials!

Ty and yes I would do that too.
If you haven't already thought of it, can you do a video for apple log? Hopefully without saying slap this LUT on it.... Thanks Qazi!
Great tip with that sharpening edges
🙏🏽
Great tutorial for beginners 👍
Did not know about the ab mode with sharpen so thanks!
You're welcome
Great tutorial. Subbed!
Welcome 🤗
Amazing Video thanks Qazi !!
You're welcome
😂😂What the heck, so much learn from Qazi. Impressive skills. 👍🏾 1 ❤ brother.
Thank you Qazi ❤
You're welcome 😊
Hello, I would like to know if the course has subtitles in Spanish
Thank you, Qazi; straight to the point and informative. However, what does Radius do in Spatial NR? I didn't catch it.
why am I crying at how valuable this info is
Let it out. 😀
How do you get many footage?
Is there any free footage or subscription you recommend?
Great tip my friend, thanks!
You're welcome
I found you're channel yesterday and I instantly fell in love with it, you're videos are insanely helpful brother thanks alot!
Welcome to the channel. Happy to hear that, brother.
Great video Qaz! Could you make a follow-up on how to then add film-grain to a denoised image?
Thanks so much for explaining how the sharpening tool works!
I also grade photos in Resolve as a hobby and I was wondering if the noise reduction could work without moving parts? In my case I would only have oen picture to go of.
You can try and it should.

🙏🏽
can you do all of this on 1 node?
thank you! great job!
very helpful tutorial!
Thanks for the video! I'm just wondering. What's the point on using NR from Davinci if you have Neat plugin? (extremely better as far as I know)
That is also my question. DR or NEAT
Hi! A very useful video, and a very cool channel! Thank you
You're welcome
How'd you did that lights on subscribe button 😯

I disagree but hey we all got opinions. You should start a channel. 😀
@@theqazman nah you're covering it all anyway haha. Good stuff.
@@theqazmanthe subtle flex 😂😂😂 clapback game underrated
@theqazman you can’t know it all … take critics - not everyone need to start a channel because they know something. @_trismegistus thanks for the tip
@@theqazmanWeak response, you should rather try and prove him wrong instead of saying he should start a channel
How would you expose S-Cinetone ideally?
Excelent tutorial 🔥

Hei Qazi. Quick question. What do you use to record your key presses for the screen recording? Thanks in advance and thanks for making these videos! 👏🏻
Screenflow. 🙏🏽
You just saved my tail on a project, thank you!!!
Happy to help bro.
thank you
helps a lot
Your editing scene looks like it had so much sharpness applied
Very helpful video thank you. But why it turn my 20minutes export in 2hours+ export when I use noise reduction :(
NR adds time. One drawback.
Definitely helpful
🙏🏽
Neat Video ist still much, much better.
I love neat video
How slow is your render time going to be after applying all that?
Plays back in realtime on my system.
Nice watch ;)
Good content.
Haha. Thanks.

It would be great if you could show how to turn a standard iPhone footage (not log) into cinematic look
excellent thx
You're welcome!
You still use that Neat Noise Reduction plugin?
If necessary
These videos must take you a lot of time to edit because damn, the Grade, graphics and sfx are fire💯 {110% lol)
Haha. Thank you. It does but totally worth it.

Third party plugins tend to be better but are costly for most.

This is going to change how I do NR. I'd never even thought to add sharpening. I'd actually never even used that tool.
happy to help, bro
Nice AP Royal oak ;)
50 year anniversary edition. 😀 And ty.
NOW I understand how NR works in Resolve..and man, that trick with the Sharpen tool is freakin' awesome! Nice work my man 🙂
Happy to help, bro.
The discord link has expired
that looks way too good
🙏🏽
I can finally die in peace now, this helped me a lot on my current project.
Haha. Happy to help.
You gotta name your next course "Color Grading & Jiggery-Pokery" 🤣
Haha. Noted.
Thanks !! But I'm having Déjà vu lol maybe its the footage your using. Great tips
Haha. Yes. Realized after I finished the tutorial.
this is like how all of my BRAW shots look like haha
Haha
@@theqazmanthis is amazeballs. trying it out now. I had no idea what that A/B thing did ! very cool and fast breakdown of the NR panel . About to explore your vids,
@@theqazmanCan the A/B thing work for other stuff?
and i see u have neat video... which one u prefer? :P
whats the secret?
Watch it again and again til you get it.
ahhhhh im good@@theqazman
To use this you have to pay?
Yep
❤❤💕💕💕💕💕💕
You need a shirt that says jiggery pokery
Haha. Noted.
My system just hanged
Looks fine but tv/movie/youtube viewers don't "punch in", so it looks fine...
Music started, I stopped listening. Seriously.
old as video 😑
lol 2nd
First
Rad. I should send you some footage from a night race where I was trying to get 240fps slowmo and it came out VERY DARK. See if you can show us all how to bring something back from the dead.
Also! When are you doing the color grading challenge again?! Been dying to see the next episode. 🫶🏻
That sounds interesting. Dm a Dropbox link on IG.
Soon, bro. It's on the list.
