Mine premier says it needs GPU acceleration. What's that. This is after trying to insert VR denoise

[@ConnorGilks]

You’ll have to Google that error, as unfortunately it can be caused by many different things.

[@blacklofi2837]

this helped thanks for keeping it simple and straight forward

[@ZeallousMusic]

Probably one of two the best tuts for live music videos! Totally saved my footage and changed the overall look for the better.

[@ConnorGilks]

Much appreciated man!! Thanks so much for watching.

[@CoasterOutlaws]

You can also add an adjustment layer, and add the unsharpened mask effect. It’ll make up the difference that you lose. Great Video!

[@ConnorGilks]

Yes, that's one method, but watch part 2 of this denoise tutorial for an even better way to prevent any sharpness loss in the first place! :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWKzimawmNJ9ppI

[@SportsmansMag]

Really helpful. Thanks a ton. We are doing some in-house editing on action camera footage taken in early morning lighting on hunts. Can't exactly put professional lighting on things out there, and movement in low light causes bad grain in some of our shots. Even a little improvement in some of our footage goes a long way toward a better final product.

[@ConnorGilks]

Glad I could help!

[@antonypillacariveros1890]

where can i get the transitions next to the sounds you use

[@ThreeTech]

Can I pit this fx on Adjustment layer?

[@michaelhenderson911]

This is awesome- what did you turn off to see the before and after and can this be applied to an adjustment layer?

[@ConnorGilks]

Thanks! I just disabled the plugin for the before/after. It can't be applied to an adjustment layer, it needs to be done on the clip itself. However, you could try selecting all your clips, right-clicking and clicking on "Nest", which will unify them as a single clip. However, just be mindful that diffeerent lighting conditions/camera settings etc. will have different denoising requirements, so it's best to check them all manually and tweak each one as needed.

[@Swampfox87]

Great vídeo, what color profile did You use to film that music video so you got that noise? Or what camera settings? Thanks

[@ConnorGilks]

Noise is going to happen with high ISO's no matter what profile you use. I believe this was using Omeneo Primers.

[@WarHelios]

Brightness mask can help you to handle denoise and details. And from artistic perspective its a better to just hide digital nous under analog noise overlay (brightness dependent as well)

[@MonarchFilmsInc]

I agree. Noise makes it look much better.

[@ConnorGilks]

In some cases, yes, but there are downsides. Film grain overlays won't do much to combat color noise in your image. Additionally, let's assume for a moment that the overlay completely hides that other noise for you successfully. The problem is that when you upload to a platform like KZbin, the compression can turn that noise into a lack of sharpness, because the detail of the noise is too fine for the compression to handle. The result is a very soft looking image that lacks a lot of sharpness - but your mileage will vary, as it depends how big the grain is, how strong it is, etc.

I used this on some RED footage after doing quick color correcting with Lumetri Color and once I applied the VR De-Noise it made the footage extremely dark. Any ideas why?

[@ConnorGilks]

I'm not sure about that one, sounds like it may be a Premiere Pro glitch. Have you tried rebooting, opening up a fresh project, and trying again?

[@druhantia1253]

[@YouveGotaType]

I put this on my footage and it made Premier lag like crazy. It made things way to slow to even edit. Any idea why this is crashing my premier speed so hard?

[@ConnorGilks]

This needs to be done LAST in the process. It’s not a GPU accelerated effect, so it takes up a lot of CPU power. Do the edit and color first, then do this right before exporting.

[@YouveGotaType]

@@ConnorGilks copy that! Will do.

[@KB-st8ug]

thanks buddy...

[@mikabreak]

Hi Conner, I am not able to use the VR de-Noise, it says "This effect requires GPU-Acceleration" and I have a Macbook Pro16 GB ram and my video rendering and playback is already set to Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (Metal). Is there something I can do?

[@ConnorGilks]

Hey Carolina - unfortunately you'll have to Google this one yourself as that error in particular can be caused by a wide variety of sources.

[@priscillaescobar6178]

Could you try and help me, I have a video of a hit and run but it’s too dark to see the plates of the car

[@ConnorGilks]

Hi Priscilla. Unfortunately with footage like that, you likely won't be able to salvage any useable information from the clip because the data simply isn't there to begin with. Cameras like phones, dash cams, or home security cameras don't capture enough data to be modified like that. If you raise the brightness or exposure of the clip and you still can't make out the plate, then there's simply no way to get that information, sadly.

cooool!! thanks a lot btw. if your machine is fast enough topaz video enhance ai denoises and upscales ... for example you can denoise and upsalce you content to 8k then put it pack into a 4k timeline and boom it is clean and has amazing detail :)

[@ConnorGilks]

Topaz looks very interesting, but unfortunately it's quite expensive if you just need good denoising (Neat Video is $75, for example). I'd love to try it for upscaling though, would be very helpful for things like lower-resolution stock video assets, or cameras where higher frame rates restrict the resolution!

@@ConnorGilks oh i have both! neat and video enhance ai both are cool but video enhance ai is just better, especially for drone shots :)

[@Oyekool]

really helpful

[@m8_flicks]

I still don't understand why are these effects placed in the Immersive Video tab and called VR blablah instead of having just a regular deNoise effect?

[@ConnorGilks]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@LuwiMartin]

I dont know if its just me but when I add in VR Denoise I can't even play the video it just lags out.

[@ConnorGilks]

This is why I recommend using denoising at the end of the process, these plugins tend to be CPU intensive, resulting in slow or choppy playback. I'm not sure if VR Denoise is a GPU accelerated effect either, but if it's not that will make it even harder on your system. Your best bet is to just tweak it using still frames and not playing it back, if your system is being taxed that hard by the plugin.

[@Lyminary]

Speaking of denoise, if you add some and maybe a low pass filter it should fix the background noise.

[@airammartin]

Maybe you could try also adding a de-esser

[@GoldenGreatIntl-uu7nf]

The tutorial is very understandable but I'm having troubles using the VR Denoiser. It is saying that requires CPU accelerator. Pls what CPU accelerator?

[@ConnorGilks]

Unfortunately, this error can come from a number of different causes, so you'll have to search it up and troubelshoot from there.

Does anyone wants to help me? I used this footage from my phone camera. the footage is clean but when I'm importing it to adobe premiere pro cs6, the footage is a little bit grainy. But, for those footages with fixed shots, the footage is clean.

[@arobertsonian]

Did u find a solution?

[@latiel2207]

@@arobertsonian the only solution I found is that you need to match every sequence based on the FPS of the video clip. This somehow lessen the grainy footage.

[@johnme60]

same happened with me , it's making high quality videos grainy.

[@GhostStealth590]

@@latiel2207 yeah general rule of thumb to keep your fps in the sequence settings the same as what you recorded in. It's acceptable when importing 60fps footage into a 24fps sequence, since ya know, slow mo... and another issue is that you're working with CS6... granted it still works and is usable, it doesn't have bugs ironed out (especially accounting for cellphone footage) as that's a pretty old version. For me, keeping current but not fully up to date with Adobe products is my rule of thumb.

Premiere cannot “make good quality video grainy.” If your video is grainy it’s because it’s grainy. It may not have looked that way on your camera at the time, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t.
