Premium Noise Reduction and Sharpening

The Best Noise-Reduction Algorithms in the Industry
Neat Video’s noise reduction algorithms surpass the quality of all classic noise reduction methods — even relatively new wavelet-based methods. Neat Video’s more advanced, more efficient approach allows it to draw a clearer distinction between random noise and details in video data, enabling it to reduce more noise and better preserve true details.

Advanced Temporal Noise Filter
Neat Video’s advanced temporal noise filter analyzes and compares a range of consecutive frames in order to gain as much information as possible. This allows the filter to more accurately distinguish between noise and detail in order to reduce noise and artifacts.

Sophisticated Spatial Noise Filter
The spatial noise filter reduces noise elements even further on a frame-by-frame basis across a range of frequencies and color channels.

Dust and Scratches Filter
In addition, Neat Video features a filter that targets specific imperfections such as film scratches, film dust, impulse interference and similar defects. This filter can also treat corrupted scan lines, spots, dots, and other video maladies.

Flicker Reduction
Neat Video includes specialized mechanisms to take into account possible presence of localized or frame-wide flicker. This helps to suppress that visual imperfection itself and also to increase the accuracy of noise reduction.

Repeated Frames
This special filter mode helps to correctly reduce noise in clips containing repeated frames such as those shot in “slow shutter” or “night mode”. It also improves clips that have had their frame rates artificially increased.

Jitter of Details
This filter helps to suppress the visible jitter of fine details that may be present in video. Such jitter looks like as if there was some hot air between the viewer and objects of the scene: small details of those objects appear moving or trembling.

Artifact Removal Filter
Digital artifacts such as impulse noise created by video compression are treated by this filter. In addition, it also addresses dots and small lines that may be not fully removed by Neat Video’s regular noise filters.

Adaptive Filtration
This feature automatically adjusts the noise filter in situations where noise properties are changing in different parts of a video clip — ensuring more accurate noise-reduction.

Smart Sharpening
The intelligent sharpening filter takes advantage of Neat Video’s noise profiling techniques to sharpen the picture without amplifying noise. Neat Video sharpening has a halo-free mode.

Quality vs Speed
Neat Video offers different quality modes in Temporal and Spatial filters to let you choose between more accurate processing and shorter processing time depending on your requirements.

Customizable Noise Filter Settings
Neat Video’s filter is highly adjustable. While its default settings deliver good results, it also offers near complete control over each noise filtration setting. This allows you to fine-tune the noise reduction parameters to your exact requirements.

Filter Presets for Common Problems
Neat Video includes a collection of pre-built presets containing filter settings to solve many typical filtration tasks.

Intuitive Noise Profiling

Device Noise Profiles
Neat Video generates and utilizes device-specific noise profiles. These are reusable analyses of the noise characteristics of different devices in different recording modes. Thanks to these noise profiles, Neat Video knows exactly what type of noise it is encountering in a particular clip regardless of the source or mode of capture. Armed with this information the program is able to distinguish noise from details and achieve more accurate noise-reduction results.

Auto Profile Feature
Neat Video’s Auto Profile tool automatically examines the content of a clip and builds a custom noise profile specifically for it. This is extremely accurate, however it is possible to override it and use semi-automatic or manual noise analysis methods if preferred.

Generic Noise Profiles
Neat Video can also create generic noise profiles in a situation when video contains no frames and areas suitable for analysis by Auto Profile.

Profile Check and Tuning
Building and using accurate profiles is the most important step to ensure quality noise reduction. The Profile Check and Tuning tools help to visually verify the accuracy of the profile and, if necessary, quickly adjust it to the current video.

Instant Visual Feedback

Immediate Preview
Neat Video offers a built-in preview that allows you to view results and adjust the filter settings to optimize performance.

Playback
Neat Video has a playback feature delivering a live view of the final video directly in plug-in window.

Multiple Preview Modes
You can manually select an area of interest for preview as well as evaluate filtration results separately for each channel and frequency component.

Filter Settings Check
Several Filter Settings Checks help to tune the filter settings using specialized preview modes. This speeds up the filter tuning process and helps to achieve better final results.

Comprehensive Host Integration

High-Bitdepth Rendering
Neat Video takes advantage of the full power of modern video processing applications, offering high-bitdepth rendering in programs that support it. These applications include After Effects, Premiere, Final Cut, Motion, Vegas Pro, Media Composer, Resolve and OpenFX hosts.

Supported by Most Video Editing Platforms
Neat Video works with most of the current video editing applications in use by both professional and consumer video editors.

Neat Video plug-ins work as regular video filters. They can apply noise reduction and sharpening exactly where it is required: in a chosen layer of an After Effects composition, in a chosen clip of a Premiere sequence, in a chosen track in Vegas, etc.

Supports All Frame Sizes
Neat Video Pro and Studio Editions support any frame size without limit including Full HD, 4K, 8K, etc.
The Home Edition supports up to 1920×1080 pixels (DVD, HDV 720p, Full HD).
The Demo Edition supports up to 1280×720 pixels (VCD, SD, DVD, HDV 720p) with a watermark added.

Excellent Hardware Optimization

GPU Acceleration
Got a powerful graphics card? Neat Video enables GPU acceleration to speed up processing and cut down on render times. Neat Video supports most CUDA-capable NVIDIA GPUs and a large number of OpenCL-capable AMD video cards.

Multi-Core, Multi-CPU and Multi-GPU Hardware Functionality
Neat Video is engineered to make the best use of the available hardware present in your system. It is optimized for use on multi-core, multi-CPU and multi-GPU systems. In addition, Neat Video Pro and Studio support the use of multiple graphics cards and multiple CPU cores simultaneously to deliver the best filtration speed possible.

Works with All Video File Formats
Neat Video is able to process any video format that is supported by your editing application including AVI, MPEG, MOV, WMV and many more. In other words, if your editing platform is able to open a video file, Neat Video will be able to apply noise reduction to that clip.

Neat Video: Video captured by a digital TV-tuner: noise and compression artifacts

Notes for Users of Older Versions

1. Neat Video 5 will not replace the older version of Neat Video on your computer. Neat Video 5 and an older version can co-exist on the same machine and even be used in the same project.
2. If you want to use Neat Video 5 instead of an older version in an existing project then you need to manually add the new Neat Video 5 (Reduce Noise v5) to your project. You can then disable or remove the older instance(s) of Neat Video (Reduce Noise) from the project.
3. Neat Video 5 builds and uses new noise profiles and filter presets that are not compatible with profiles/presets from older versions. If you have built a re-usable set of profiles for your camera with an older version of Neat Video then you may want to re-build it in Neat Video 5. The same applies to filter presets
4. If you upgrade from v1, v2, v3 or v4 Home to v5 Home edition of any of Neat Video products, please note the important differences:
   1. v5 Home edition may only be used for non-commercial purposes;
   2. v5 Home edition can support up to one GPU.
   3. If you need to use Neat Video 5 for commercial purposes or want it to utilize more than one GPU simultaneously, then please upgrade to v5 Pro edition (please check My Special Offers or contact us for assistance).

• A new Profile Assist viewer mode offers a visually enhanced view of the noise within the frame, which helps to quickly identify the area with the strongest noise and the least amount of details.
• Version 4.5 allows you to select larger areas for profiling, when available. – Using larger areas makes the profiling of lower frequency noise more accurate. This is particularly useful for large frame formats such as 4K.
• Furthermore, the update improves the processing of Very Low and Ultra Low frequencies when using small areas for profiling — increasing accuracy in these ranges.

New features for quick pinpointing of the best filter settings

Neat Video 4.5 has also simplified the process of tuning the noise filters and provided enhanced visual preview tools to achieve the optimum results.

• A new Preview Assist viewer mode. – This mode presents a specially enhanced preview emphasizing weak details. Helping you fine-tune the filter settings in such a way as to preserve such details while still reducing the noise.
• A new Noise Level Tuning Assist tool. – This tool allows to tweak the Temporal Noise Level using a visually enhanced preview to achieve better results.
• A new Slow Shutter Tuning Assist tool. – For clips with repeated frames (or repeated noise), this new assist tool helps you to find the right settings of the Slow Shutter mode using a specially enhanced preview.
• A new Spatial Filter Tuning Assist tool. – Neat Video 4.5 also includes the Spatial Filter Tuning Assist tool that helps to adjust the Spatial Filter settings using a visually enhanced preview.
• It is now possible to separately assign the Quality Mode for the temporal filter and spatial filter. – This may reduce processing time with minimal effect on quality in some circumstances.
• In cases when no frame is initially selected, the plug-in will now automatically select a suitable frame from the beginning of the clip. This helps avoid accidental inaccurate noise profile analysis and gives you one less thing to think about.

New major version: Neat Video v4

ABSoft team is pleased to introduce the 4th generation of Neat Video — the noise reduction solution for digital video.
The new major version 4 of Neat Video improves the visual quality and adds new features to achieve even better noise reduction results.

Main improvements

• Higher quality of noise reduction
• More accurate processing in scenes with changing luminance or chrominance: fade in/out, camera auto gain control, etc.
• “Dust and Scratches” filter to remove film scratches, dust, impulse interference (more…)
• “Slow Shutter” mode for video containing repeated frames (more…)
• Better sharpening quality: less halos, sharper edges
• “High Quality” mode for better detail preservation and sharper image (at the cost of reduced processing speed: 1.5-4 times slower)

Optimized workflow

• Several source frames accessible directly in plug-in window provide a choice of frame for profiling
• Restructured filter settings: better navigation, greater flexibility and easier experimenting
• Improved preview takes all temporal and spatial filters into account(to adjust filters individually and in combination; to avoid roundtrips to host application for checking the final results)
• “Variants” of filtration to visually compare results achieved with different filter settings
• New filter preset collection to solve typical filtration tasks

Faster processing and more responsive GUI

• Preview is updated faster when filter settings are adjusted
• Multiple optimizations have allowed to preserve the speed of processing despite its greater complexity
• “Skip Neat Video Processing” option to temporarily disable all instances of Neat Video filters (to speed up editing in the host application; especially useful in FCP X).

Added support for new host applications:

• After Effects CC 2015
• Premiere Pro CC 2015
• Nuke 9
• Magix Video Pro / Movie Edit Pro / Video Deluxe
• Pinnacle Studio 18.5.1
