Neat Video??? at DVinfo.net

Brandon Carter · February 23rd, 2009, 10:03 PM

I have some video that was shot in low light conditions and thus resulted in varying amounts of graininess. I notice that Neat Video has been recommended several times. I also notice it is available for Mac OSX now. Is Neat Video something to loo into? I video outdoors at dawn and dusk, so this is something I will have to deal with regularly. Thanks for the opinions!

I think that the current Mac version is Adobe AE CS3 & CS4 compatible only so if you're running FCP you're out of luck. I've been dying to get my hands on Neat Video for FCP and hope it's coming soon.

If you've got AE CS3 or CS4 it would be a no-brainer to get Neat Video. It's an amazing tool.

Yeah, I see that now. Unfortunately, I am using FCP 7. Or there any filters in Final cute studio 2 suite that would assist with the low light noise? I have tried some c/c but its only marginally better.

So many (free) options on the PC. Unfortunate there's no similar ones for Macs. The MSU denoiser is slow, but man does it work well.

Really? Are you running a pirated copy of Final Cut Studio 3 even before Apple releases it? Where can I get mine?! (laughs)

Just messing with you, Brandon.
