remove Grain from DV film
Hello,
I am a new member of this forum.
My name is Raymond de Niet from The Netherlands.I have a question about Vegas Pro (9).
I use the demo version at the moment but if possible to take away my problem i will buy it of course.My Sony DV videocamera (DCR-HC20E)tapes have when I watch them on my pc with mediaplayer a lot of grain in the movie.
Is it possible to sharpen the image a little so it won’t bother me when I watch it on a muc bigger tv screen? When I do that, it is just not watchable. Lots of grain.
I don’t know how to put in an image as example.
Can anyone help me please if my problem is solvable?greetings

Are you trying to shoot in low light?
-
For the future I hope I can. Can you help me?
I also want to reduce the grain which is already in the filmed movies. Is there a way to remove that too?

Shooting in low light unless you have a high end camera will have this grainy problem. Some people use a blur effect. Set to a low setting, just enough to blur the grain. Hope this helps. Danny Hays

Raymond,
I’ve used this program with some success in smoothing very noisy 8mm film transferred to video:

Ok, Thanks for all your answers.
I’ll try the other program.
The camera is not hi-end. It’s not even HD.
But for filming outdoors it is good, only in the evening or in a darkened room.
I have to live with it I guess.
Maybe an external lamp on it…. -
@Kent Clark:
Did you use the plugin as a demo version or did you buy it.
Can I try the demo and redus the noise/grain for an entire DV tape?Do I have to use it as soon as I copy the tape to my harddisk, or adfterwards?
Can you please help me with this? -
Raymond, the free download will not do a complete screen of standard DV and it puts text on the screen saying it is Neatvideo trial. But, it will show you what the program is capable of by reducing the noise inside a box or frame on your screen.
If it does what you need then you have to buy the program to really do anything with it. They have a Vegas plug-in that works inside Vegas, you will see it in your Video FX tab when you install it.

I forgot to answer your question about when you can use it. Since it is a standard Video FX you can apply whenever you want, you can deactivate it, reactivate it, etc. Anything you can do with the standard video FX you can do with the Vegas plug-in version.

Kent,
Thank you very much for this tip.
I downloaded it and mad a piece of movie which was very bad before and now (in low trail resolution) it is way much better.But when I buy it, I can change resolution and also upgrade color etc?
The custom settings are good enough or do I have to change some settings? -
You can chain any of the other video fx with neatvideo, so you can do color correction, brightness, contrast or anything else with neatvideo on any video event.
I’ve found the auto settings to be workable for everything I’ve done so far. The only problem is finding a featureless area that is big enough for the software to use.
The pdf manual, which I think you can download before you buy the product, is very good and very detailed. It explains everything I’ve needed to know up to now.
