# 03 - Overview

Magic Bullet Denoiser III

### **Overview**

Below are descriptions for each Denoiser parameter.

**Denoise**

**Reduce Noise:** This is the master control to adjust how much noise is removed from your footage. Turning this up will require a bit more rendering time, as it's removing more noise.

**Smooth Colors:** Smooth colors will specifically target color noise found in your footage and work to blend that noise.

**Preserve Details:** This operates after Reduce Noise to bring back detail that may have been lost by high levels of noise reduction. Increase this value to restore footage detail.

**Sharpen**

**Amount:** Reduce Noise can blur your footage at higher settings. Sharpen helps recover some lost sharpness after the denoising pass completes.

**Radius:** This control affects the radius of sharpening performed on your subject's edges. Edges are image regions with sharp contrast between light and dark color values.
