Magic Bullet Suite 10’s new Denoiser plug-in

After I completed testing on the shot above I remembered an EPK I did earlier in the year that had a few noisy shots as well. It was shot with natural light in a recording studio, not the best setting for pristine footage. I went back and found one of the noisier shots from that piece and tried Magic Bullet Denoiser on it as well, using the same color correction from the original piece.

I do wish I had had Magic Bullet Denosier when we shot that project but it was edited in Avid Media Composer 5 and the Magic Bullet Suite 10 (including Denoiser) is only available for After Effects and Final Cut Pro.

Denoiser is available as a stand-alone install for $99 or $69 for an upgrade if you were a Magic Bullet Steady customer. Check the FAQ for more details. And if you want the entire Magic Bullet Suite it’s $799 with upgrades ranging from $99 - $399. And there’s a trial version available as well. For compatibility options check the compatibility matrix.

You can see another example of Magic Bullet Denoiser in action via a recent tutorial at Creative Cow. Yes, we all know the COW never links to external websites but we’re bigger than that here at PVC and want to provide all the information we can to readers. They’ve got some different type of examples in that tutorial so it’s worth a viewing to see more about what Magic Bullet Denoiser will do.

I hope the little examples of Magic Bullet Denoiser in action have been helpful. If you have noisy footage then give the free download a try as it might make some unusable footage usable again. In a perfect world of shooting we wouldn’t need to denoise but it’s nice to know tools like these are available when we need them.

Rowland, I’ve never used the tool from Neat Video (though I have heard good things about it) so I can’t comment. I think they do have a demo so they could be tested side-by-side ...
