doing a bit of reseach online i also noticed magic bullet denoiser II. I wonder if denoiser will work faster and better?

[Mathieu Ghekiere]

If I’m not mistaken, Magic Bullet Denoiser II is still not compatible with FCP X.

Neat Video gets great comments everywhere. You could crush the blacks a bit too?

Kind regards,

TRIED THE DEMO OF NEAT VIDEO AND IT IS REALLY AWESOME. ONE PROBLEM THOUGH, ONCE I APPLY IT TO A MULTICAM CLIP, IT CRASHES… I HOPE I DON’T HAVE TO APPLY THE FILTER TO THE WHOLE LENGTH OF THE VIDEO. ….

If you read their notes, you MUST apply the filter to clips in your timeline. I know it would be easier to do it in the multicam angle editor (tried it myself and had the same issues) but not yet.

Best,

I Found out that optimizing the cores solve the problem.
Now here is the question. I have a timeline of of multicam clips. Is there a way in fcpx to render those clips underneath that I am using and then relink to the clip underneath .
I just don’t want to open the angle editor and apply it to the who long clip?
What should I do?

You could always render out your footage with the Neat filter applied to a new clip and THEN put it in your multicam.

Best,

Remember theres a metadata “flow” in X.

Applying filters to elements upstream is always preferable to applying them downstream if you want to leverage your choices later.

So applying filters to clips in the Event Browser and rendering them THERE means that the pointers to the code for those filtered and rendered clips is what will arrive in subsequent projects. This saves HUGE time if you use the same clips in multiple projects.

But if you apply effects downstream at the “timeline” level, the effects won’t be stored with your originals and you’ll have to “re-apply” the effects every time you use those clips in new projects.

Since you can always tell X to “strip out” the effects metadata at the project level simply by unchecking the filter, working as far “upstream” as possible is often a beneficial practice.

I can’t imagine you’d EVER want to start with the “noisy” footage rather than the denoised footage. So that indicates it would be smart to apply the de-noising to the clips in the Event rather than to clips in the Storyline.

FWIW.

I’m a happy customer of Neat as well . Very sophisticated and the author/guru actually has helped me with tuning it for difficult clips, he requested a clip and tried out settings or gave advice.

The interface is a little clumsy but that’s cause it was hard to rewrite for X I’m sure he’s working on it

Failing as fast as I can at writing producing.
