No de-noiser and no plugin support means there is no way to de-noise in the free version, that might just annoy people unnecessarily.
Well in Resolve you can use the plugins, and with e.g. NEAT you get not only a lot cheaper than Resolve Studio, it's also a lot better (maybe not faster, but MUCH better).
The Remove Grain-Node is ok-ish for the basic prep, but not really good when working with "less than ideal" footage if you get me
if it's really only grain, it can work out ok. But not more.
What you could do is buy NEAT for DaVinci Resolve Lite, denoise there, even apply retimes with optical flow, render it out and get it into Fusion. All free (except the Plugin), but a bit of a hassle. Yet the tracking bothers me more, hopefully there will be something like "Mocha for Fusion" for a few bucks
