[HELP] Film grain appears to be reduced despite not attemping to remove grain or denoise

[Selur]

Any reason why there appears to be less noise/film grain in the post-processed video when compared to the original?

• non-lossless compression
  
• you are filtering:
  • QTGMC by default does tons of filtering what would denoise a bit. (especially the slower presets,... the 'fast' preset would probably keep more grain)

  • NNEDI3: also has some filtering effects.
