VectorDenoise
Motion-vector field cleanup
Smooths noisy motion-vector or auxiliary vector data before temporal interpolation, motion blur and other vector-driven effects.
VectorDenoise
Overview
What VectorDenoise does
Smooths noisy motion-vector or auxiliary vector data before temporal interpolation, motion blur and other vector-driven effects.
VectorDenoise cleans motion/vector data rather than visible film grain. Average smooths unstable vectors and Threshold decides which changes are treated as noise, so aggressive values can remove real local motion as easily as they remove jitter.
Place it immediately before tools that consume the vectors—interpolation, vector motion blur or other temporal effects—and use the Layers options when vectors live in auxiliary passes. The goal is stable direction data, not the smoothest possible vector field.
When to use it
Clean motion vectors before SmoothMotion
Reduce vector chatter around edges
Prepare EXR vector layers
Stabilize vector-driven retiming
Improve vector motion blur input
