1. Re: Help on 3rd party noise reduction
SAFEHARBOR11 Aug 7, 2014 10:46 AM (in response to Photo_1985)I use Red Giant Denoiser II and it works in both AE and Pr. However, it seems to hang up in Premiere CS6 so I always apply it in AE instead. I apply to the raw footage and render out to an intermediate codec, then use the cleaned clip for the editing in Premiere.
Thanks

Todd_Kopriva Aug 7, 2014 5:07 PM (in response to SAFEHARBOR11)Michele Yamazaki has a good article about noise reduction effects here:
Toolfarm.com :: In Depth: Noise/Grain Plug-ins for After Effects, Final Cut and Other NLEs
Rich Young's post here is a little dated, but it may be of some use to you:

3. Re: Help on 3rd party noise reduction
Photo_1985 Aug 8, 2014 6:04 AM (in response to SAFEHARBOR11)Thanks Jeff. I have been leaning toward doing in after effects because of
the added effects tend to require rendering in Pre Pro . When I
tried out CC and used warp stabilizer in that program, same thing,
chewed up resource and causes a need to render. I did not like that, so I
never saw the need to get Pr CC and just do any Stabilizing in 5.5 &
CC and render it to a H.264 Blu-ray then import the clip in Pre Pro.
(that is why I save any video effects as one of the very last things I do)
By the way, I use H.264 because it is HD (yea, I know, lossy), Pre Pro
seems to like it and the results seems to be smoother than AVI or any
other format (less jitter on motion). Go figure that one out. Oh, also
smaller file size (even though less important to me anyway).
Unless there is a advantage in getting the version, I think I am
going to get the version. Still looking for input from others
before I purchase it. I love this community! They all seem to be like you
Jeff, friendly and give helpful advice. The community has saved me lots of
grief.
Last, how do you like the Noise Reduction in Red Giant Denoiser II? have
you compared it to Neat Video?
Thanks again,
Tom

4. Re: Help on 3rd party noise reduction
SAFEHARBOR11 Aug 8, 2014 6:26 AM (in response to Photo_1985)I've tried testing NeatVideo a couple times over the last few years, but the trial only does SD, and I don't think I ever got it to work at all for some reason. I've been happy with Red Giant in AE CS6, but have heard good things about NeatVideo. DeNoiser II does now use GPU acceleration which can make it about 4x faster than before, though not sure if it works with CS5.5, you're a bit behind there ;-)
As you already know, H.264 is the last thing you should be using as an intermediate codec. A few options -
1) Lagarith codec - free download. Totally lossless with uncompressed quality, but at much smaller sizes. However, still a heavy file that requires fast storage Lagarith Lossless Video Codec
2) Use the Matrox MPEG-2 I-Frame HD codec, which is intra-frame with 4:2:2 color and runs at 100mbps, free download - Matrox Video - Support - Driver Downloads (look for "VfW codecs")
3) Download the free GoPro Studio software - this installs the Cineform codec - GoPro Studio Edit Software
I think option #2 or #3 would work well for you if you don't like the large file size of Lagarith.
Thanks

5. Re: Help on 3rd party noise reduction
Photo_1985 Aug 8, 2014 6:53 AM (in response to Todd_Kopriva)Once again I see very helpful information from the pro's. Todd I don't
know what to say, very helpful and thank you. It seems that is
winning out over in my mind. I don't know if you have tried this
program on both programs. I am using the 6 core X990 @ 3.47 GB (no
overclocking), 24gb Memory, 64 bit Windows 7 and with SSD drives (now
RAID). I know, not a lot of power, but works well for me. If you were
faced with which program or , which would you choose? and why? or
perhaps you would not choose because you want to try them out on both first
before choosing.
Anyway, I want to thank you for you help and information. Very good stuff
to read on this topic.
