Denoiser
 

I'm using Red Giants Denoiser. On some of my clips, in the FC timeline, after I apply the denoise filter and render, I get blue blocks. Is there some way to avoid this? Am I trying to use too much of the filter? On other clips, works perfect. I'm not sure why this happens on some and not others?

Never used this filter before, just trying to clean up a bunch of clips.

I have the Red Giant Denoiser plugin as well (best denoise plugin I have used in my limited experience), however, I have never gotten the blue blocks you are speaking of. Do you have a screen shot to what you are talking about? I've googled the problem, but nothing comes up.

The funky Blue screen seems to be a known issue with this plug in - I've seen it reported elsewhere and experienced it myself. In fact, this is the most buggy plug-in I've ever used - a whole range of bugs occur from weird render issues, blue blocks, crashing fcp... you name it.

The filter can have wonderful results, when it works. I've reported my issues to Red Giant and they replied - to their credit - both with an offer of a refund and noting that their engineers are currently working on correcting issues with the plugin.

It really does a stellar job, when it's not causing all kinds of trouble :-)

Are you using the trial version. Sounds silly, but I had the blocks when trial. I purchased it and now they are gone. Could be coincidence though. I haven't had any crashing yet...fingers crossed
