This is the After Effects Remove Grain interface with Sampling set to Manual. Sampling the video properly will make or break your grain removal, so choose wisely (see note above). The Match Grain and Add Grain settings are very similar to Remove Grain. They can sample areas of the video and work per channel and give you a fine level of control. The plug-ins are very robust but they do tend to be a bit processor intensive, hence the little preview window. The three plug-ins were acquired by Adobe from Grain Surgery in 2006. Another user of adding grain is to give the video a more filmic feel.Īfter Effects Remove Grain, Add Grain, Match Grainīelieve it or not, the plug-in that ships with After Effects is one of my favorites because it has the option of per channel degraining. By matching the grain color, size, and structure, your composites will look more natural. Why would you want to add grain? When combining footage from different sources, such as compositing with photos or computer-generated elements, these elements tend to be much cleaner than video.For matching grain, it is often best to degrain all footage then add grain on all cleaned footage so that all footage matches.You will have an easier time getting a clean key and tracking footage. Denoise before applying a keyer and tracking footage.If you take a sample from an area with texture, like sand or moving water, the filters will reproduce that texture. For example, if you have a shot of the clear sky, the ocean and sand, you would want to sample noise from the sky, where the color is as even as possible. If your plug-in allows for choosing your own sampling, like the After Effects Remove Grain plug-in and Cinnafilm Dark Energy Anti-Matter, choose an area that doesn’t have texture.

(Footage credit: Angie Mistretta/Toolfarm – Professional Keying with Keylight from Toolfarm Expert Series). The noise per channel is obvious when each channel is shown side by side in a quadrant. This hot tip is an excerpt from Plug-in to After Effects. Command+Option+Shift+N will split the panel in one click!” You can do this with all 3 color channels and RGB as well. Let it go and you should see two videos side by side. Click to lock one of them and drag the other to the left side of the Composition panel, until the side of the window highlights. A new tab with the same video will open along the top of the Composition panel. To do this “use the pulldown menu at the top of the Composition panel and select New Comp Viewer.

In After Effects you can view the full RGB and single channels at the time.Removing more noise on the blue channel (or wherever your noise may be) will help keep the detail in your footage. If you have the option to denoise per channel, that is the best option. If you take a look at the separate RGB channels, it’s highly likely that your blue channel has the most noise.Just because you can denoise your footage doesn’t mean you should! It is often better to leave some noise in your footage than to over process and lose detail in your shot. Always use a light touch and do not use degrain or denoise plug-ins too heavily.You’ll have to deal with hovering over still images for this article. Note: I created really nice examples and uploaded them to YouTube but what I found is that the compression of streaming video makes it extremely difficult to show noise reduction. Temporal filtering tends to give motion artifacts and should be used very lightly. Temporal filtering will use the frames before and after to average noise.

Spatial filtering analyzes the footage frame by frame, using the whole frame. There are two types of denoise filtering: spatial and temporal. Noise is a big problem with footage shot in low light and DV footage. Where do noise and grain come from? In film, it’s naturally occurring. In video, it’s referred to as noise, while in film it’s called grain. In film, sometimes grain sets the mood and gives it a gritty feel, but if you’re trying to match different stocks or you’re mixing film and video sources, you will likely need to remove and match some grain.

This article is sort of an update, featuring new plug-ins, all new examples and more information.Ī little clarification. In my book, Plug-in to After Effects: Third Party Plug-in Mastery, I did a big section in Chapter 14 on noise reduction plug-ins.
