3rd Party BorisFX Noise Reduction Issues

[FlyingFourFun]

Premier Beta 26.0.0 Build 16, the use of BCC+DeNoise ML causes all sorts of issues....

The effect will render for the program monitor and be properly displayed when movign one frame at a time witht he play head

If you use a Render and Replace, it gets stuck:

When you give up, and cancel the job, it generates an encoder error; but it doesn't crash premier or windows

If you try to export it with Media Encoder, it can generate the first frame of video, and after maybe 5 min, the estimated time left to complete and the elapsed time clocks stop counting.  You can cancel the encode, and no crashes result.

The clip is a ProRes LOG recorded on an iPhone 16 Pro IOS 26.0.1

Render Seq seems to work;  but for a 5 min test clip, I think its frustrating slow, and is estimating it with take 69 hours to render

The Media Info for the file:

The effect is BorisFX Continuum Version 2026.0.0, specifically the BCC DeNoiseML

I have tried the BCC Magic Sharp effect, it seems to not crash, but it is unnaturaly slow....

Overall, it seems that the BorisFX effects pack is challanged in this version of the Beta.  These same effects were workign okay in a prev build, I didnt documetn which build, but it was probaly at 3 or 4 builds ago at least the last time I had a chance to play wthin the Beta.

I tried the same clip and effect in Production Premier just now, and render and replace seems to not work, but exporting with Production media encoder does work; but its pretty slow also;   There might be something to do with this version of Continuum as I just relized there was an update yesterday for it....

Either way, wanted to note it for the time being because leaving the performance aside for a moment, it should work the same way (or at least work) in the Beta and production versions...
