Noise reduction Post Processing?
 

Is there noise reduction software for video, analogous to that used for digit stills?

Yes there is.

For example the Mike Crash plugin for Sony Vegas is reputed to work very wel at reducing noise in HDV video. I know several Sony A1 owners who have said it's great.

If you have Vegas, try it out :

Name on that page is "Dynamic Noise Reduction".

Stu, Thanks for the tip...

any suggestions of Final Cut Pro / Mac?

For a Mac you can look at Sound Soap from Bias. Waves offers an $800 plug-in called Z-Noise. I've used the noise suppression feature in Amadeus II ($25 from http://www.hairersoft.com) with some success. Haven't personally tried the others.

Best wishes,
Peter

I believe he is talking about video, not audio noise, Peter. I do enjoy Soundsoap in small quantities though...

O.K., then. I have no suggestions.

Best wishes,
Peter

On second thought, there are three plug-in filters for FCP in Graham Nattres' Set 1 that may be worth looking at: G Noise Reduction Temporal, G Noise Reduction Spatial, and G Noise Reduction Chroma.
