What causes this?
 

Just wondering what causes this? I use vegas 9 and took this frame grab. It was shot in low light and I used Neat Video to try to clean it up. Any suggestions?

What are you seeing??

Is it the hand blur that bothers you??

Too much noise reduction causes that plasticky look in the skin. You need to dial back your settings some.

Also make sure your Vegas preview window is set to "BEST" before go into Neat Video. It makes a difference on the accuracy of the noise sample you get.

That is one bad thing about a Sony Fx7. It does a poor job in low light! Do you guys try to remove all the nosie . Or do u put up with some?

One approach is to remove only as much noise as is necessary to get an efficient mpeg2 encode. If you are using the built-in Vegas encoders this is hit and miss, because as far as I can tell, these encoders don't report quantization and encoding accuracy.
