Noise in white logo

[tormento]

I am getting crazy to get rid of some dancing noise in the first seconds (https://www.mediafire.com/file/94dus8yizriqm9a/The_lighthouse.7z/file) of The lighthouse movie.

Tried SMDegrain up to tr=9 and thsad=900 but results are really ugly.

Ideas?

DGDenoise() # Keep it simple.

And what do you mean by ugly?

What did you want exactly ? What did mean by "get rid of" ? Just to reduce noise ? But how much ? Or eliminate noise completely, as if it were a "clean graphic" ?

Just to reduce noise?
Just try any filter and look at how bad the result looks. Perhaps it's because of the full white color.

This script gets helps reduce the noise when the logo is not fading in or out.

DGSource("The lighthouse.dgi")
o = last
blank = Blankclip(o, color_yuv=$B4B4B4)
mask = o.ColorYUV(levels="TV->PC")

mt_merge(o, blank, mask)

If you really care you can copy one single frame from each logo and then match the frames and fade in and out as required and join them together.

What is "bad" ? It's means different things to different people

There is no "full white color" . Full white is Y=235 (or higher)

Or did you mean a solid uniform text color, like vector graphics ? Squeeky clean, such as 100% removal of noise? Like it was before the grain was added on purpose for the film ?



How is this "any filter" ? Vapoursynth DPIR. But it's slow.

You can remove "noise" completely to make it look like clean graphic, or add back some % if you wanted to, or blend some % with original

But what Reel.Deel said - you can redo the titles pretty easily, and that takes out the film bounce (stabilize) while you're at it. eg. Take the output on a single frame per section as a "clean plate", and reapply the fades

Guys, please, show me your results and the script you used.

And, unfortunately, I don't use and don't want to start to use VS.

Speaking for my little script only, you can easily copy it and view the results yourself.
