Is it reasonable to generate the grain table with a heavily denoised reference, yet do the actual encoding with a more gently denoised clip?
I've found that getting full grain elimination using tools like SMDegrain or KNLMeansCL requires some pretty heavy handed settings, which can result in the plastic face effect. The grain synthesis is really nice, but I'd like to dial back the denoising strength when actually encoding a bit.
