Compare Apples to Apples
Apple's M1 and M2 chips have been the talk of the tech world for their impressive performance in a range of tasks.

Time to chase Aurora

Neat Video 5.5.5
Neat Video 5.5.5 is a very fruitful update.
The Neat team has added support to a big number of updated versions of host applications. Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects 2023, DaVinci Resolve 18, Fusion Studio 18, Magix Vegas Pro 20... just to name a few.
Both AMD and NVIDIA have launched several new GPUs and Neat Video is now able to utilize their power and make denoising faster.
This release has also fixed several issues and improved overall stability and performance.
NVIDIA RTX 4090. What we think
NVIDIA has increased the number of GPU cores and their frequency, the other factors affecting performance have not changed. Most importantly, the internal GPU memory bandwidth did not increase. What this means is, yes, sure, every second all the GPU cores of RTX 4090 can perform 2.17x more calculations than those of RTX 3090 Ti, but most likely they won’t as data will not be arriving in time. This was our line of thinking. Were we right? Find out here .

Reduce noise in Premiere Pro
Numerous factors contribute to a noisy video generally caused by light-based issues such as insufficient light in the shot, incorrect low-light lens, extremely high ISO values, heat or interference. However, it must be noted that there is no better fix for grainy or noisy footage than correctly taking the time to shoot it out in the field.
However, if you already have a clip that has to be denoised, you can get that done either with the help of Neat Video or using free effects that are already built into Premiere Pro. Learn more.
