what are you guys talking about, an effect in a video?

It's an effect you add to your video which helps clean up video noise. It's based on a tool for Virtualdub. All of Mike's tools can be found here:

The Mike Crash "smooth" and 'noise reduction" filters work for a while, then cause errors and finally, a crash (no pun intended) with Vegas 4.0e.
I removed the filters and all was well again.
FYI.

I don't have problems in Vegas 6.

thanks

Works OK with resize etc when used as MediaFX
 

Just tried v1.0.3 of this filter in Vegas 7d. When applied as a MediaFX, it worked fine (combing was seen to be removed) even when resizing or changing aspect ratio.

Only a problem when applied as a TrackFX or EventFX - when it appeared to have no effect.

My settings were:
Frame-and-Field differencing, Compare color channels, Use cubic, Motion map denoising.

First, I'd like to thank all of you for making Mike Crash's plugin known, and to Mike for writing this fantastic technology. This deinterlacer has saved all of my 480i footage. WOW. So, I'm going back and redoing my projects. So far, I've had great results with my 480i60 footage converted to 480p30 from JVC and SonyVX2000. My 1080i60 (Sony EX1) -> 720p30 also improved. The trouble remains with my m2t 1080i60 HDV files (Sony Z1). It seems as if no project or render settings yield deinterlacing, but the artifacts are larger - probably the resize problem someone mentioned earlier. So, I find that I have to render to Cineform 1080p30, then open another project to resize to 720p30. Has anyone been able to render directly from the 1080i60 HDV (1440x1080) to another video size?
