Neat Video still has the stupidly easy ability to make in 2 or 3 mouse clicks noise pretty much disappear, but version 4.1 also has a insane amount of advance control and what I like even more, is better methods of displaying information about noise in a shot and what your adjustments are doing including better tool tips and menu options compared to version 3. Version 4.1 does two things that are really hard to do in software development – make things easier, and make them more advanced! After all, as time marches on things usually get better.Īs I’ll explain in the video below, performance has increased and the plugin in Premiere Pro (what I show in the video) and Resolve (via OFX) – my two main platforms for this plugin – can best be described as being quite a bit more snappy than previous versions. With version 4.1, The Neat Video team has brought more support for new GPUs, new OSs like Windows 10 and Mac El Capitan (10.11) and of course since my previous inspection of the plugin back in version 3.5 – a plethora of under-the-hood improvements.Īll of that, I suppose, is to be expected. This Insight is not meant to be a step by step ‘how to’ of noise reduction with Neat, but rather its meant to give you an overview of this powerful tool. With version 4.1 just released, I thought it’d be a good idea in this Insight to once again take a look at the Neat Video plugin – see what’s changed, what’s improved and how the newest version will fit into my noise reduction workflows. Well, it’s hard to believe, but it’s been nearly two years since I took a look at the plugin way back in Insight 114! Since then, the OFX version and Premiere Pro versions have become go-to tools for me on nearly a daily basis.īack when I took a look at the plugin for that Insight, Neat was in version 3.5 and features like OFX support had just been implemented and GPUs by today’s standards (2 years later) were leaps and bounds slower and less robust.

This plugin is widely popular for good reason – it’s really, really good at what it does! It seems like in nearly every other ‘From The Mailbag’ episode Team Mixing is talking about noise reduction and specifically the wonderful Neat Video plugin.
