Quality Of Noise Reduction
provided by Neat Video is higher than that of all other methods because:

• Neat Video incorporates the most advanced noise reduction algorithms in the industry - Neat Video noise reduction algorithms were developed for digital imaging and digital video processing field by a highly-qualified professional research group. These algorithms 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 are still considered relatively modern, Neat Video uses an even newer and more efficient approach to noise reduction. This approach allows drawing a more clear distinction between noise and details in noisy video data. This helps Neat Video reduce more noise and better preserve true details in digital video clips.
• Neat Video builds and uses device noise profiles to make noise reduction custom-tailored to video capturing device - A device noise profile is a reusable analysis of noise properties of a video capturing device (digital video camera, film digitizer, etc.) working in a certain mode. Using a noise profile for a video capturing device in effect makes noise reduction custom-tailored to this device. Neat Video can automatically build noise profiles by analyzing the input video data.

• Neat Video is highly automated
  • Adaptive filtration: Neat Video can automatically adjust its filters to changing noise in different parts of video clip
  • Neat Video can build noise profiles either automatically or with your assistance:
    • Auto Profiler provides the easiest and quickest way to automatically build a noise profile
    • Automatic and manual Fine-Tuning Analyzer together with manual Rough Noise Analyzer enable user-friendly semi-automatic and manual noise profiling when you want the complete control over the profiling process
  • You can rely on default filter settings or manually adjust the filters
    • Based on accurate noise profile, default filter settings automatically deliver good filtration results without any additional tweaking
    • Manual filter tweaking is always available too, if you want to get the result that looks perfect to your eyes
  • You can easily save built noise profiles and adjusted filter settings
    • Newly-built noise profile and adjusted filter settings are automatically saved and applied to render the current video clip
    • You can also save noise profile and filter preset into files and later reuse them to filter other clips
• Neat Video provides exactly the amount of control required
  • Standard mode offers a simplified control set that is very easy to use for new users
  • Advanced mode gives power users the most complete control set to tweak virtually all filter settings
• Neat Video helps to adjust filter setting with efficient visual feedback
  • Intra-frame preview embedded directly into the frame viewer shows how the filtration result will look like and lets you visually compare it with the original frame
  • Channel and frequency viewer modes help to identify noisy video components that require special attention by adjusting the filter settings corresponding to these components
  • Variant Selector helps to visually compare the filtration results obtained with several variants of filter settings and select the best variant (in some Win versions)
• Neat Video is efficient
  • Neat Video efficiently reduces many noise types typical for digital video cameras, camcorders, TV-tuners, film or analog video digitizers:
    • sensor noise produced by video capturing devices
    • grain visible in digitized film or analog video
    • compression artifacts
    • color banding
  • Neat Video v2.x processes a video clip with the frame size of 352x288 pixels at the speed of 10-20 frames per second depending on filter settings (Core 2 Duo 3.26 GHz)
• Neat Video supports the industry standard video data types and file formats
  • Standard-bitdepth (8-bit per channel; 24-bit RGB) rendering is supported by all versions of Neat Video plug-ins for After Effects, Premiere, Final Cut, VirtualDub, Sony Vegas and Pinnacle Studio
  • High-bitdepth rendering is supported by the Pro versions strong>of Neat Video plug-in for After Effects, Premiere and Final Cut
    • Any video file format supported by the plug-in host can be processed with the Neat Video plug-in
      For example, you can open an AVI, MPEG, WMV, etc., video file in the host application and then directly process it with the Neat Video plug-in
    • Frame sizes supported:
      • VCD: 352x288 and up to 640x480 (Multimedia); in Demo edition;
      • SD/DV: up to 720x480 and 720x576 (DVD size); in Home edition;
      • HDV: 1280x720, 1440x1080; HD: 1920x1080; and higher; in Pro edition.
