Premiere CC rendered noisy AVI with Neat Video plugin

[Tero Ahlfors]

What’s your original footage? Timeline settings? Export settings?

[Jakub Frišo]

Timeline is set to
HDTV 1080p 25 frames

Original footage was AVC – HD 25 frames but I rendered already prerendered AVI uncomp footage (I reduce noise on prerender AVi and than, if the noise is still present, i render AVI again and than apply Neat Video again and the minor noise is gone

And the export settng were
Format: AVI uncompressed 8 bit
This format didnt gave me optiom to select codec
Rendered at maximum depth

Its interesting that in “Format”: I have 2 options of AVI format select either : 1.AVI uncomp format and no other options
2. Or select just AVI and that select 8 bit uncomp in codec menu …does that make any difference?

What are your exact export settings. Resolution, frame rate, etc.

Here’s a workaround: Export a clip using the same settings as your timeline, then use that file to create whatever other file type/codec you want using Media Encoder.

You lost me a little with the pre-render/re-render stuff. But anyway, no sense using Uncompressed export (giant files!) when starting with heavily compressed AVCHD footage. Rather, install and use a good quality “intermediate” codec such as Lagarith or UT (free downloads) or Cineform or any number of other good 4:2:2 codecs.

Also, make sure not to render timeline to green and then “Use Previews” in export, that may be using a low quality render preview in the process, degrading the final output. Just apply Neat to clip in timeline and Export.

You shouldn’t have to apply Neat Video twice, perhaps an export setting is off a bit and you’re not getting the best possible results? Please post screen grab of export settings if you can. Probably don’t need “Max Depth” applied using 8-bit source material either.

Thanks

So, I am putting here screenshot of original footage

And the screenshot of prerendered AVI

The noise in the original footage is not reduced perfectly but you can see the point, that the prerendered AVI has even more noise (and its different type of noise) …
I am also sending you screenshots that you requested:

Now, I think i forgot to mention something … I did the Noise reduction and export on the other computer and maybe that PC exported the AVI in the wrong way because when I did export same footage on mine PC (same AVI) there is no problem with that weird “generated noise”.
I dont know what processor or graphic card that other computer has ,but I think maybe it is issue in the hardware …
