  • How to reduce video noise

    Posted by Dammes Kieft on January 5, 2012 at 7:00 pm

    Hello People,

    I’m editting an aftermovie of a party made in Rotterdam (The Netherlands) I used a Nikon D5100 SLR Camera and a Microbeam 128 Leds for some extra light. The shots i’ve done without the light contents a lot of noise which is really ugly.. My question is, is there any effect or other possible way to reduce this ugly noise?

    Here you have a picture where u see it clearly

    Can you help me guys?

    And sorry for my bad english, i’m Dutch 😉

    Neat video makes a great plug-in (your going to have to pay for it). I’ve had some really remarkable results with it.

    I agree that the Neat Video plugin does a good job.
    Just as a reminder, like most new equipment, you will need to play with it a little to get good results.
    Also note, renders are very slow even with a fast machine.

    I suggest 2 possible approaches:

    1. Render the full clips you want to use, reimport them, and then re-edit them into the timeline.
    this will alleviate having to re-render every time you make a change to that footage’s edit.
    (faster final output render)

    -or-

    2. render the footage after everything has been edited.
    (longer final output render)

    I, too, like and use Neat. Another excellent product is Video Purifier by Innobits. They’re in Sundsvall, Sweeden.
