I guess my conservative nature has me put NV before any other effect. In Vegas I checked this easily by simply swapping the order of the FX: sometimes it made a visual difference, sometimes not. For example, MB Looks can really bump up colors, gain, or both, and when that is performed first on noise, the results look awful, with the resulting magnified noise not being as effectively removed as when NV is applied before MB. The NV manual says generally that it won't matter when in an FX chain NV is applied, but I verified for myself that in some instances it does matter. I edit on Vegas 8.0(c) and I place NV in an FX chain BEFORE MB or anything else, both on the same clip of raw footage. Neat Video noise reduction plug-in reduces visible noise and grain in digital video sequences produced by digital video cameras, camcorders, TV-tuners. Can you use your NV plugin and your MB Looks plugin on the same raw footage, or do you have to render out the NV-affected clip first and bring it back in the timeline for other effects? In any case, I use the noise removal and sharpening, if any, pretty conservatively, even on brightly lit shots like you describe.ĭoes NV stack well in the effects department? I use MB Looks, and I would apply that effect after the NV, if I were to buy it. The best I can get my noise profiles is just over 80% or so, and with these I don't really see the softening you mention, probably because the profile is accurate. Gads, that's WAY worse than having noise to begin with, IMHO. Pretty nice, eh? You probably appreciate from the manual or even from your own trials that if (1) your noise profile is lousy and/or (2) you use too much noise removal, then subjects, especially humans, begin to look pretty plastic. I can see uses for this filter on footage that doesn't have a lot of obvious noise. The result is a slight softening to the shot, like a nice soft filter, and the forehead looks fantastic, even took out some slight wrinkles from the 70-year-old subject! Looks perfectly natural though. So I added the NV filter and played around with the forehead area. Provide extensive audio and video editing features besides noise removal. There are several plugins for Adobe Premiere to help you do background noise removal, such as Crumple Pop's AudioDenoise Plugin. Probably wouldn't have noticed if I weren't looking. Offer a variety of tools to remove background noise in the video, such as Reduction knob.

But when viewed on an HD monitor, there's a touch of noise in his forehead, just a touch that I can see at times. Wow! I just tried NV on a clip from my HV30 that was shot mid day of someone talking to camera.
