Premium Noise Reduction and Sharpening

• Advanced intra-frame noise filter to reduce noise and grain in each frame of a video clip and intelligent temporal noise filter to further reduce any remaining imperfections by analyzing consequent frames
  Neat Video incorporates the most advanced noise reduction algorithms in the industry that surpass the quality of all classic noise reduction methods and even that of the wavelet-based methods. Although the wavelet-based methods were developed only 10-15 years ago and still considered relatively modern, Neat Video uses an even newer and more efficient approach to noise reduction. This approach allows us to draw a more clear distinction between noise and details in video data. That helps Neat Video to reduce more noise and better preserve true details.
  
  
• Adaptive filtration to automatically adjust noise filters to the changing noise in different parts of a video clip
  This feature provides more accurate noise reduction that takes into account the variability of noise properties in different parts of video data.
  
  
• Complete control over the noise filter to achieve desired level of noise reduction
  Neat Video provides direct access to virtually all noise filter settings. For every channel component and spatial frequency component of the video data, you can adjust the noise level estimation and specify how much of the detected noise must be removed. Default filter settings work very well and if you want to manually tweak the filter you have the complete control too.
  
  
• Smart sharpening filter to make video look sharper without amplification of noise
  Neat Video includes an intelligent sharpening filter. Working together with the noise filter, the sharpening filter makes video look sharper without any degradation of visual quality. Neat Video sharpening has a halo-free mode.
  
  
• High-bitdepth rendering to utilize advanced capabilities of modern video processing tool
  The Pro versions of Neat Video plug-ins for After Effects, Premiere, Final Cut, Motion, OpenFX hosts support high-bitdepth rendering. This capability complements the advanced rendering capabilities of these hosts.
  
  
• GPU acceleration to speed up processing using computation-capable video cards from NVidia and AMD/ATI

Device Noise Profiles

• Device noise profiles to make noise reduction device-specific
  Neat Video uses device noise profiles - reusable analysis of noise properties of particular video capturing device (digital video camera, analog video digitizer, etc.) working in a certain mode. That makes Neat Video noise reduction custom-tailored to devices described by noise profiles and provides the highest accuracy of noise reduction.
  
  
• Auto Profile to automatically build profiles for your video capturing device
  Neat Video can automatically make necessary noise analysis of the input video clip to build a custom noise profile specifically for this clip. You can use the automatics or override it and use the semi-automatic or manual noise analyzers.
  
  
• Profile Viewer and profile quality indicators to help you build accurate profiles and control profile quality
  Profile Viewer provides detailed information about a noise profile: analyzed noise sample and measured noise levels. The profile indicators show whether a profile was accurately built and fine-tuned. Building and using good profiles is the most important step to quality noise reduction.
  
  

Visual feedback

• Embedded intra-frame preview for any selected area of the frame
  When adjusting the filter settings, you can immediately see the preview results in a selected area. You can select any area and move selection across the frame to get better feeling of how the filtered frame will look like as compared with the original.
  
  
• Preview of filtration results separately for each channel and frequency component
  You can see the preview details on a per channel and per frequency basis. This capability greatly helps to tune the filter settings exactly where needed — in a specific channel or frequency component.
