At times you may ask yourself and us 'What's going on?!' Why have your frames become squashed or doubled? Usually, those visual effects are just a sign that you are working with an interlaced video. Do you need to do anything special to denoise such clips? Learn the tricks here.

M1 computers are built differently and the new Mac Studio isn't an exception. The question is: Have Mac engineers managed to scale M1 Max performance and make M1 Ultra that efficient as it was promised? Read more here

At this stage, removing flicker and leaving all of the video noise in place is partially possible in Neat Video. Some temporal noise reduction is still inevitable, and the best thing you can do to achieve the desired effect at this time is to balance the amount of temporal noise reduction to achieve enough flicker reduction while not getting too much noise reduction (when it is not needed). Setting the filter carefully can get you very close to leaving the noise untouched. Here are a few simple steps to save as much noise as possible while removing flicker.

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. This time, we’ll cover some ways to optimize performance in the Edit page to smooth playback and make the timeline more responsive. Find our more

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 help you to start we have asked Alan Feldman, one of Neat Video community members, to put together an article about his way of saving old footage. Check out our last article about archive footage rescue

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.
