Below are several examples of video sequences with visible noise of different nature. Generally, noise can be brought in by the video camera sensor and signal amplifier, by electric interference, by compression, etc. In many cases, Neat Video can significantly improve the quality of digital video sequences by reducing the objectionable noise. Please compare some before and after stills from the sample sequences below to see what Neat Video can do. You can download the before and after sample video clips too.

Hint: move mouse pointer over a filtered frame to compare it with the original.

This is a frame from a video sequence captured by a digital TV-tuner.

The original video sequence contains a clearly visible noise introduced during the TV air transmission and further aggravated by the tuner software's compression. Neat Video clears the objectionable noise producing both cleaner video data and smaller video file.

Most video compression methods work better on noise-free video data, so the filtered clip file is smaller than the original one (actually this filtered clip even includes a longer part - 14 sec - of the captured sequence, while the original clip includes only 7 sec from the captured sequence).

The original video sequence contains the noise and radio interference introduced during the TV air transmittion. The interference has a periodic structure — you may notice bandings in the original frame. Neat Video clears these noisy elements, preserving true details and producing a clean video clip that is much better compressable too.

This is a cropped frame from a video sequence recorded by a digital camcorder.

The original video sequence contains the noise introduced by the sensor set to a high sensitivity mode. There are also artifacts introduced by the camcorder video compression. Neat Video clears the objectionable noise producing a cleaner video clip.
