Hush: Toward the world's best free video noise reducer

Every phone and most cameras quietly denoise video before you ever see the frame. And it baked in what it thinks the colors in your image should should be. Step up to RAW or log — the formats that make real color grading possible — and that baked-in cleanup is gone. DaVinci Resolve's own NR is Studio-only; the third-party plugins are paid. And noise isn't cosmetic: every contrast move amplifies it, every key edges against it, every composite inherits it. So we built the safety net — free, transparent, and yours to control. Hush gets rid of the noise. Speak adds back filmic texture. Together they are the world’s most advanced free video noise reduction Open Effect.
