Noise Industries and PHYX Inc. have announced the release of a new plugin suite for FxFactory that works directly inside AfterEffects, Final Cut, and Apple Motion to help you clean up and doctor video with ease. The suite, called PHYX cleaner, contains 5 plugins:
- Chroma Reconstructor: Rebuilds pixelated chroma (color) channels. Chroma issues are most obvious when keying green or blue screens, or viewing a colorful object (red coat, etc.). The Reconstructor repairs blocky colors, and removes unwanted sub-sampling artifacts.
- Deband: Restores lost information in gradients, and increases effective color depth up to 32-bits per color. Deband also works wonders for making 3D-generated images look less artificial, and for converting harsh low-bit depth images to high-bit depth smoothness.
- Deinterlace: Converts fields into progressive frames free of comb-like artifacts using field reconstruction and Optical Flow.
- Digital Make Up Kit: Allows users to smooth skin blemishes in post-production. This unique tool detects properly lit skin tones, and smoothes wrinkles, acne, and more.
- Fast Noise Reduction: Spatial noise reduction engine that quickly removes high and low frequency noise (fine and large noise) from images. Fast Noise Reduction also includes a powerful sharpening method similar to that used by NASA, to preserve fine details.
Available for $199.
