Neat Video is a very hardware-demanding plug-in. With so many desktop and mobile computers on the market, it’s hard to know how Neat Video will perform without running tests for yourself. In our latest blog Brady Betzel is sharing his experience with Neat Video run on MacBook Pro with M1 Max,  Dell XPS 17 9710, HP zBook Fury G8 and two desktops. Check it out.

In Parts 1 & 2 of our series on using Neat Video denoiser in DaVinci Resolve we looked at ways of applying and optimizing the Neat Video plugin in Resolve’s Color page.

Restoring old films is a process that requires time, dedication and skill. If you got the fist two, third one will come as well.

To achieve good noise reduction, you need to inspect the clip and find a frame with strong noise and large uniform areas without details. Sounds very straightforward and easy, but in real life, you'll find that many areas looking absolutely featureless and flat can hide lots of details in them. Check out our latest blog to see the most common tricky cases.

This update has continued improving your denoiser and deflicker in various directions. New versions of video editing applications and AMD GPUs are now supported. Neat Video's performance on Apple Silicon computers has become a bit faster. We have also made a number of other small changes throughout the plug-ins to improve your experience.

As soon as M1-native Premiere Pro Beta got public, Neat Video team started working on the new version of the denoiser. Now Neat Video 5.4.3 for Premiere is able to run on Apple Silicon computers without help of Rosetta. That has resulted in impressive 30-40% speed gains.

Finally Neat Video has added native support to M1 computers in the plug-in for Final Cut. It came as an entirely new plug-in as that was the only way to achieve this compatibility. The new plug-in has been called Neat Video Second Revision (or SR) for Final Cut.

Taking the novelty of the SR plug-in into account, we explicitly mark it as a beta version until all significant issues are resolved. If you would rather not take any risk using the SR beta version, you can keep using the Standard Version of Neat Video for Final Cut for the time being. Learn more.

In our latest blog post, we have covered the basics of using Neat Video in Resolve, including where to apply the plug-in and how to integrate it into various color workflows including Rec709, Log and Color-Managed (such as ACES and DaVinci YRGB Color-Managed). You’ll know how to apply Neat Video in ways that optimize its performance while integrating it into your specific color grading workflow. Keep on reading
