Update information is available, as is a free trial. Magic Bullet Denoiser II will be available for $99 as a stand-alone product and will, of course, be part of the Magic Bullet Suite.
According to this Red Giant tweet: “Installing Denoiser II will not overwrite or remove Denoiser 1, which means you can use both plug-ins without conflict.” These guys know how to make software-and make users happy. And if you are still having good luck with Denoiser 1, which of course continued to work after it was taken off the market, you’re in luck. I have seen it save many a Canon DSLR shot when much higher-priced denoise tools could not.ĭenoiser II is currently only available for After Effects but support is coming for “Final Cut 7, Final Cut X and Premiere Pro by mid-2012,” according to the Red Giant blog. Denoiser 1 was notorious for its crashing but even with that, it was also known to produce simply amazing results. Red Giant owns this code 100% – which means the product is not going anywhere.” That’s good news, since I do think the biggest concern many version I users have is with stability. How different is Denoiser from its original version, now owned by Google? Says Red Giant on its blog: “We’ve developed Magic Bullet Denoiser II from scratch (completely new code) to bring you the quality of Denoiser 1, but with more stability.
Red Giant promised at the time, however, that its “team is hard at work developing a new version of Denoiser.” Well, here comes Denoiser II. In Google’s quest to make crappy YouTube video look better, we lost one of the better denoise tools that I had ever used. The quite amazing, though crash-prone, denoising tool from Red Giant Software was removed from Red Giant’s product lineup late last year when some third-party technology used in Denoiser 1 was purchased by Google.
What a long, strange trip it’s been for Magic Bullet Denoiser.
