BCC+ DeNoise ML
Category: BCC Image Restoration
Effect Name: BCC+ DeNoise ML
The BCC+ DeNoise ML filter, part of the BCC Image Restoration category, is a machine learning based image denoiser featuring drag and drop ease of use. Working with video footage typically includes adding a denoise pass to remove image artefacts, which can be introduced by low quality image sensors, low light shooting and lossy compression codecs.
Workflow Requirements: This filter requires that the project frame rate matches the source clip frame rate. If the frame rate needs to be modified, it must be done in a seperate pass after the ML results have been generated at the native clip frame rate.
Working with the Filter
FX Editor and Presets
- Use the FX Editor to load or save presets for reuse.
- To load a preset: Open the FX Editor, select a preset from the Presets panel, and click Apply to return to the host application.
- To save a custom preset: While in the FX Editor, click the Create Custom Preset icon in the parameter list, enter a preset name, and click Done. Additionally, a custom preset can be saved from the main menu bar by selecting File->Save Preset.
- To import custom presets from another drive: While in the FX Editor, select File->Import Preset from the main menu bar.
Effect Controls
Mocha Mask and Track
Continuum effects include integrated masking and matte tools that allow you to restrict the effect to specific regions of the image.
- Mocha masks: used to create custom spline masks. Mocha also includes Matte Assist ML and Matte Refine ML, which use machine learning to generate and track masks.
- Pixel Chooser: used to generate geometric shapes, gradients, or mattes based on channel, luma, or color-based selections. Additionally, an AI depth map generator, and an AI-powered face detection model allow for precise control of masks and mattes.
Note: Mocha can also be used to drive geometric parameters. See the Mocha Motion Tracker documentation for details.

Compare Mode
The Compare Mode is used to view the filtered result alongside the original source layer. Several split-screen and side-by-side display options are available.
For more information, see Compare Mode.
- View: Allows you to set the viewer to display various outputs for the effect.
- Output: Shows the default look of the filter on the image.
- Noise: Displays the noise channel that the filter will process.
- Model: Allows for the selection of the type of noise the filter will attempt to remove.
- Compression+Noise 2.1: Removes compression artifacts and digital noise on the footage.
- Camera Noise 2.1: Removes noise generated in camera.
- Compression+Noise 3.0: Upated compression artifacts and digital noise removal.
- Camera Noise 3.0: Updated camera noise removal.
- Mix with Original: Blends the source and filtered images. Use this parameter to animate the effect from the unfiltered to the filtered image without adjusting other settings, or to reduce the effect of the filter by mixing it with the source image.
- GPU Rendering:Specifies how the effect is rendered.
- Default: Uses product-wide default of 16 bit half-float GPU rendering.
- 16 Bit Float: Manually force 16 bit half-float GPU rendering.
- 32 Bit Float: Manually force 32 bit full-float GPU rendering.
- Disabled: Forces CPU rendering.
