— Output Mode: This lets you see different representations of the patched effect you’re creating. There are four options.
— Patched Result: The final result, with each patch repairing the blemish it’s covering.
— Patch Locations: Shows a key where each placed patch is white against black.
— Differences: Shows the difference of each patch against the original image.
— Difference Magnitude: Shows a more pronounced Differences representation.
Frame Replacer (Studio Version Only)
The Frame Replacer allows you to reuse or blend adjacent frames together to help remove any corrupt frames or artifacts that show up for the duration of just a single frame. It’s useful for fixing problems like a damaged film frame or a video frame that has pixelated digital breakup.
— Replace This Frame: Checking this box selects the specific frame in the clip that you want to replace. This will also automatically apply a keyframe at the appropriate location in the clip.
— Replacement Method: Allows you to choose the method by which the new frame is created.
— From Previous: Replaces the selected frame with the one immediately before it, effectively duplicating the frame.
— From Next: Replaces the selected frame with the one immediately after it, effectively duplicating the frame.
— Blend Prev/Next: Replaces the selected frame with a blend of the frames immediately before and after it.
— Optical Flow: Replaces the selected frame using DaVinci Resolve’s optical flow technology with a blend of the frames before and after it.
Noise Reduction (Studio Version Only)
Based on the Noise Reduction controls in the Color page, the Resolve FX Noise Reduction is divided into two types of GPU-accelerated noise reduction designed to subdue noise in problematic clips. Both methods of noise reduction can be used separately or together, in varying amounts depending on the needs of the particular material you’re working on.
Temporal NR Controls
The Temporal NR controls analyze images across multiple frames to isolate noise from detail.
Motion estimation settings let you exclude moving subjects from this operation to prevent unwanted motion artifacts.
— Frames Either Side: The number of frames on either side of the current frame that you want averaged to separate detail from the noise. You can choose between 0 and 5 frames. 0 applies no frame averaging; higher values apply more frame averaging, at the expense of being significantly more computationally intensive. A higher frame setting may yield a better analysis, but may also yield unwanted artifacts if there are fast-moving images in the frame. A value of 1 may yield better results for fast-moving images. If you need to use higher frame values, but see artifacts, you can also try adjusting the Motion Threshold to fix the issue.
