[Noise Reduction]

This filter softens source noise.

Screen shot

Remove noise, such as caused by video degradation, from the source stream.

"Speckles" seen on old VHS and analog tapes are referred to as noise. The actual locations of noise are difficult to identify; however, one pixel can stand out in contrast to another between frames. This can be seen easily in animation, but it's more difficult to detect other types of media.

Set the size of the pixels. A large value may cause the video to look blocky.

Time Axis
Set the grade of the time difference.

This value determines how far in the along the time line the comparison frame is taken.

Using "high quality" mode will make sure that the cleanest possible output is produced.
