Do you need to use it on every clip, or just some clips?

I get GH4 footage that is shot in low light from time to time, so I need to clean it up. Light… can I get some light on that footage, please?

I use it on 180 or 120 fps footage a lot, and it truly is neat. Neat isn’t even really a decent term, it’s much more than neat.

The reason I ask is that you can turn off all the clips that have it simultaneously. If you set those clips with a Role of “Neat”, you can go the Index, type “Neat” in the search field, select the results, open the inspector, and turn Neat on or off en masse. Alternatively, you can add a _Neat to the names of the clips if you son’t want to use a Role and search for “_Neat” in the index.

This helps a lot if you have many clips to Neat that are interspersed in a long timeline.

BIG caveat, this only works if the clips have the exact same filters on them. So, if two clips have Neat, a third clip has Neat and Tidy, you select all three of those and uncheck Neat, it will only turn off on the clips that have Neat only. The clip with Neat and Tidy will still have Neat turned on.

Like Tony, I try and wait until near the end, but you can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes

you just might find

you get what you neeyeeed..

(awe yeah)
