Neat Video Pro for After Effects is a video filter designed to reduce visible noise and grain in digital video footage produced by digital video cameras, camcorders, TV-tuners, digitizers of film or analog video. Neat Video Pro plug-in supports standard- and high-bitdepth rendering and can process frames of any size.
Noise is a serious problem that complicates digital video processing. Footage coming from digital video cameras, camcorders, digital TV-tuners, film digitizers, etc., often contains an easily noticeable noise component that may distract viewers.
Neat Video is a solution to the noise problem. It is a filter specifically designed to reduce visible noise in digital video clips produced by modern digital video capturing devices as well as digitized from traditional film or VHS records.Quality of noise reduktion provided by Neat Video is higher than that of all other methods because:Neat Video incorporates the most advanced noise reduction algorithms in the industry Neat Video noise reduction algorithms were developed for digital imaging and digital video processing field by a highly-qualified professional research group. These algorithms surpass the quality of all classic noise reduction methods and even that of the wavelet-based methods. Although the wavelet-based methods were developed only 10-15 years ago and are still considered relatively modern, Neat Video uses an even newer and more efficient approach to noise reduction. This approach allows drawing a more clear distinction between noise and details in noisy video data. This helps Neat Video reduce more noise and better preserve true details in digital video clips.Neat Video builds and uses device noise profiles to make noise reduction custom-tailored to video capturing device.
A device noise profile is a reusable analysis of noise properties of a video capturing device (digital video camera, film digitizer, etc.) working in a certain mode. Using a noise profile for a video capturing device in effect makes noise reduction custom-tailored to this device.
Premium Noise Reduction and SharpeningThe Best Noise-Reduction Algorithms in the IndustryNeat Video’s noise reduction algorithms surpass the quality of all classic noise reduction methods — even relatively new wavelet-based methods. Neat Video’s more advanced, more efficient approach allows it to draw a clearer distinction between random noise and details in video data, enabling it to reduce more noise and better preserve true details.Advanced Temporal Noise FilterNeat Video’s advanced temporal noise filter analyzes and compares a range of consecutive frames in order to gain as much information as possible. This allows the filter to more accurately distinguish between noise and detail in order to reduce noise and artifacts.Sophisticated Spatial Noise FilterThe spatial noise filter reduces noise elements even further on a frame-by-frame basis across a range of frequencies and color channels.Specialized Dust and Scratches FilterIn addition, Neat Video features a filter that targets specific imperfections such as film scratches, film dust, impulse interference and similar defects.
This filter can also treat corrupted scan lines, spots, dots, and other video maladies.Slow Shutter ModeThis mode reduces noise in clips containing repeated frames such as those shot in “slow shutter” or “night mode”. It also improves clips that have had their frame rates artificially increased.Artifact Removal FilterDigital artifacts such as impulse noise created by video compression are treated by this filter. In addition, it also addresses dots and small lines that may be not fully removed by Neat Video’s regular noise filters.Adaptive FiltrationThis feature automatically adjusts the noise filter in situations where noise properties are changing in different parts of a video clip — ensuring more accurate noise-reduction.Smart SharpeningThe intelligent sharpening filter takes advantage of Neat Video’s noise profiling techniques to sharpen the picture without amplifying noise. Neat Video sharpening has a halo-free mode.Customizable Noise Filter SettingsNeat Video's filter is highly adjustable. While its default settings deliver good results, it also offers near complete control over each noise filtration setting.
This allows you to fine-tune the noise reduction parameters to your exact requirements.Intuitive Noise ProfilingDevice Noise ProfilesNeat Video generates and utilizes device-specific noise profiles. These are reusable analyses of the noise characteristics of different devices in different recording modes.
Thanks to these noise profiles, Neat Video knows exactly what type of noise it is encountering in a particular clip regardless of the source or mode of capture. Armed with this information the program is able to distinguish noise from details and achieve more accurate noise-reduction results.Auto Profile FeatureNeat Video’s Auto Profile tool automatically examines the content of a clip and builds a custom noise profile specifically for it.
This is extremely accurate, however it is possible to override it and use semi-automatic or manual noise analysis methods if preferred.Profile Viewer and Profile Quality IndicatorsBuilding and using good profiles is the most important step to ensure quality noise reduction. The Profile Viewer provides detailed information about the noise sample and the measured noise levels.
