I bought the neatvideo plugin for Premiere after reading about it on the forums. I shot a wedding last week with my GL2 where the reception was in an extremely dark room, just a touch above candle light.
Using a small amount of the neatvideo plugin has made what would be marginal footage look great.
Anybody else using it?
Are there even better plugins than this that should be considered?

Got some before and after for us ?

Adam Haro · February 4th, 2009, 03:19 PM

Sure, as soon as the computers done rendering in about 15min. I'll post some pics.

Ryan Morey · February 4th, 2009, 03:42 PM

wow that plugin looks awesome! I can't wait to so your before and after!

The first pic is how the footage originally looked straight off the GL2 (no camera was usedfor this shot).
The second is using the shadow/highlight effect.
The third is after adding a bit of the neatvideo plugin.

Ryan Morey · February 4th, 2009, 03:51 PM

holy moly...What a difference...great to see that you were able to save the footage.

Most of the reception was shot with a 50watt camera light that worked out well but I didn't want to blind people as the b&g were going around table to table. I think it worked well and beats just using a blur.

Boy, that is really an extreme shooting situation, looks like to me.... Thanks for the tip on this plug in....

I know that sometime, somewhere, I'm gonna need this. Could be a hundred bucks well spent.

Any info on the cost in render time? Also, does it play well with other effects on the same clip?

I have one clip on a 30 second spot I'm doing (in HD) where this might work really well.

They've been saying they're working on the Mac version forever. For now I bought the still photo version and export out TIFF sequences of terribly noisy shots I have to use. It's a pain in the butt, but it works fairly well. Maybe one day they'll get that Mac version out cause it's a wonderful plugin.

Adam Haro · February 4th, 2009, 11:15 PM

It is pretty slow to render. Not terrible but slow. I rendered a clip using the shadow/highlight adjustment and also the color corrector, after those rendered I re-rendered it using the neatvideo plugin, neatvideo took about twice as long as rendering the other 2 effects. I've used it on some clips with Magic Bullet plugins, color corrector, shadow/highlight and slow motion and theres been no issues at all.
I'm starting to sound like a neatvideo salesman, but it really did save my butt on some of these clips.
