NR slower as an edit effect?

PostSun Mar 26, 2023 2:58 am

I'm observing a strange issue here:
If I use a combined temporal and spatial NR as an effect in the edit timeline, it is considerably slower than applied with exactly the same values to a node in the Color page. Anybody else seeing this?

I'm asking since currently the version for the iPad offers NR only as a timeline effect and I was shocked how slow it is. Other demanding effects show pretty consistent values compared to a laptop with similar hardware.
Now that the cat #19 is out of the bag, test it as much as you can and use the subforum.

Yes, I'm seeing the same. I justed tested it in 18.1.4.

NR in Color page: 14 seconds.
NR in Edit page: 34 seconds.

When the NR is on the Edit page, is that NR before or after the Color page nodes?

Anyway, on the Color page I tested two node sequences: First NR node, then color node -- as well as: First color node, then NR node. Either sequence ran in 14 seconds. So the order of the elements doesn't seem to be the problem.

Thanks for checking this. Yes, edit effects come before Color (see page 1486 ff.).

I always felt like performance in general is slower on the edit page than color page. On heavy grade projects my playback was always faster on color so a node like NR might quickly exaggerate that since it's a heavy process.

For NR the difference is massive.

There's 3 places in Resolve where you can add normal DaVinci SNR & TNR:

1) in the Motion Palette on the Color page

2) as an OFX plug-in from the FX panel (in a node)

3) on the Edit page as an OFX plug-in.

I do find the OFX plug-in version of SNR/TNR is a lot more resource-intensive and slower than the stock version. I'm sure there's good reasons as to why.
