Clarity

DVO Clarity is a true RGB grain and noise tool that reduces video noise and fine film grain like no other, maintaining full picture detail with zero artefacts regardless of motion. DVO Clarity works where others often fail and takes random motion such as smoke, water etc. in its stride without getting rid of the parts of your picture that should be there!

Clarity is part of our DVO Essentials Pack (now included with Nucoda at no additional cost).

Our unique color layer stack contains isolation tools such as Mattes, Keyer and Shapes. Each layer also has its own difference matte generator and Matte Paint tools. There are fifteen unique GPU color tools in every layer and each layer can be routed to any point in the pipeline. Our unique range of color tools offers increasing levels of control over the image. The layer tree contains extensive routing capabilities for shapes, mattes and keys. Each layer also comes with blend modes and overall opacity controls.

The timeline, memories and effects views are all accessible simultaneously making working from shot to shot a seamless and straightforward process. The memories view speeds up the workflow, offering different ways to store, recall and compare your grades. Notes enable you to save unlimited numbers of these snapshots in folders so that you can assemble libraries of looks and access them in any project, while the events view gives you a storyboard overview of each timeline. With the unlimited multi-layer timeline, you can combine capabilities, using different isolation layer tools to produce complex looks quickly.
