I read the page you linked…as long as the Neat filter is applied before Lumetri adjustments, all works just fine. I haven’t encountered the issue with Warp Stabilizer simply becasue I rarely use it so I can’t speak to that.

Somewhere out there is a Youtube video where the host did a very in depth comparison between Red Giant and Neat – plusses and minuses both ways – in the end he liked Neat just a bit better – I must have watched this about a year ago – do some digging, and if I find it I’ll pass it along.

I’ve been using the Neat Video plug-ins for at least 5 years – does an excellent job. Price is affordable:

Years ago I attended a workshop given by Larry Jordan when I was still working with FCP7 – he suggested normalizing music in a video timeline to -4.5 db, so usually when about to work with a new track I’ll bring it in to Audition first, normalize it, and convert sample rates there, then import into Premiere.

When you say “crushed” at the top, are we talking about flat peaks that look like they’ve been run through a hard limiter, or sound that was clipped and run through a declipper filter?
