Encore 2.0 Noise Reduction Filter Information

Adobe Staff and Forum Members,
Would somebody please explain how changes in the noise reduction filter change video quality. It seems the standard setting is 30% and I don't have a manual with the trial version to understand what changes to make on order to best transcode older video. I'm waiting for my hard copy of Encore 2.0 now but in the mean time any information would be greatly appreciated. Have a great day!
Thank you,
Don

> How much time does a change in the noise reduction filter have on transcoding time?
I don't have any hard data to quote, but it's significant (and also depends on whether you use CBR vs. VBR 2-pass). But offhand, I'd say the filter will at least double your transcode time. You may find the results worth the wait...the output preview should help you to decide this.

Neato Video Noise Reduction Filter

Merry Xmas
A fellow filmmmaker has used the 'Neato Video Noise' plug in with pretty good success. Was wondering if anyone else out there has tried it?
I have some underexposed footage shot on a DVX100, (low daylight footage), which I tried tweaking with the FCP HSL Filter. But as you may know, the HSL Filter must be used carefully (sparingly), or it will cause grain.
Anyone know if Neato's Noise Reduction Filter works more efficiently?

No, there are no built-in noise reduction filters.
There are a number of free and commercial solutions out there ... the free ones are obviously worth checking out but less capable (try TMTS Noise Reduction and Smart Noise Reduction), of the commercial filters http://www.neatvideo.com/ and http://www.revisionfx.com/products/denoise/ seem popular.

Weird Banding with Noise Reduction Filter

Working on a night shot of a building and processed through ACR7.2 and forgot to reduce the noise - and opened in Photoshop. Went to Filter/Reduce Noise and immediately get wierd banding in the window blinds. This banding is there regardless of the noise reduction settings and could not get it to go away - See attached screen shot of before and after applying the filter. So I went back and opened the file again in ACR7.2 and applied the Noise Reduction there and bingo, noise level dropped and looked good with no banding. Looks like the Noise Reduction capabilities in ACR7.2 are way better than the Noise Reduction filter - but surely the banding should not be there; especially if images do not get processed through Camera RAW.
Running latest version of Photoshop CS6 (latest patches applied), Windows 7 x64 16GB RAM, Intel 4000 with latest drivers installed. Camera file was ACR2 from Canon 5DMKII imported as a DNG file - then opened in ACR 7.2
Before Image Opened in Photoshop before applying the Noise Reduction Filter
After Image in Photoshop after applying the Noise Redcution Filter
Seems like a bug to me
By the way, the screen captures are from the image viewed at 100%

The aliasing effect you're showing is obvious, but are you saying the noise reduction operation also changed the color of the image?
I didn't think so. Your "before" image appears several steps removed from your "after" image.
It would be best if you'd capture a "before" image of your entire display just before and just after applying the filter that causes the aliasing pattern, and also specifically describe or screenshot the exact parameters being provided to the filter causing the problem as well.
In general, if you're getting aliasing introduced into high detail / high frequency parts of your images, you might find it advantageous to work at a higher pixel count - i.e., change the output size in Camera Raw so that you're opening images at an upsampled resolution. That's the only way I work, and I find it advantageous to have more pixels representing the image while editing in a lot of ways.

Noise reduction filter???

Does anyone know of a high quality FCP-compatible video noise reduction filter for HD footage? Is there even such a thing?

All of the software that works with this does this... soften the picture.
The controls are precise however, and I've used it with really low light footage to advantage.
Denoise is a video noise reduction filter plugin for FCP google it... render is awfully slooooooo. Color renders faster. free download of demo with big red x thru all footage I think. Lots more controls.

Need Noise Reduction Filter

I need to reduce some Noise or at least Reduce Colored Noise in some night shots of the Aurora. In Photoshop there is a neat Noise Reduction filter that allows one to do this... but I can't find anything in CS3 or 1.5 versions.
Am I missing something here?
Is their a 3rd party software that will do this?

Will do... email me at [email protected] and give me your email (Soon as I'm going to kill that one... too much spam). I'll let you know. This is a huge project of remastering 17 hrs of Aurora footage... time laspse, color, levels... the whole works. May be months before I'm done.
Also... I just checked out their website. WOW...!!! Is it really that good? I'll be in heaven.
I see the Pro version lets you do HD Wide format... which I'll start shooting my projects in soon.

Soundtrack Pro on the fly noise reduction filter?

The microphone I use for voiceovers has some fuzzyness that I always end up having to clean up afterwards by taking a noise print sample and then applying the filter. Since I am always using the same mic for this, is there a way to create a preset filter on the front end (as I am recording) so I don't have to go back and reprocess the noise reduction afterwards? Basically I am looking for a way to create a microphone profile and apply the filter on the fly so I can streamline my work flow.
Many thanks.

Adaptive noise reduction filter only applying to parts of a clip

MAC 10.9.4
3.5 Ghz 6-core
16GB ram
AUDITION CC
PREMIERE CC 2014
This is happening over and over to me, along multiple projects and multiple clips.
I apply Adaptive Noise Reduction, and tweak the properties. It sounds great but then when I 'apply', the filter is only applied to about 50% of the clip.....meaning it sounds great when tweaking the filter, but after when it is actually applied, only parts of it will apply.
IE, If I have a 15 second and apply noise reduction.......It sill sounds while tweaking parameters. Then after I hit apply, seconds 1 - 4 will sounds great (filter applied) seconds 5-9 will sound awful like no filter has been applied, and seconds 9-11 will sounds great again, and 12-15 will sounds awful again.
There is def something wrong here., This never used to happen in CS6, ever. Only when switching to CC.

Hi,
I have little use for/of the adaptive version of the noise reduction filters only because I want it ALL cleaner, so here is what I suggest: I left a very-detailed posting about "batch processing" in which I outlined using the the process version in the Waveform Editor. Give that post a read Re: How Do You Apply Process Effects To Multiple Clips In A Multi-Track?
Let me know if you need more help.

Why Noise reduction filter on adobe PS Touch does not work?

I use iPad mini and want to reduce noise on my photo, but it does not work event though I have moved the slider from 0 to 100. It tried with another app that is adobe ps express, and it worked well. Kindly, i need your helping to solve my issue.
Regards
Sigit
Note:
1. My device ipad mini with ios version 6.1.3
2. The app name is adobe photoshop touch

Good day!
As far as I understand this Forum is dedicated to beginners’ problems with Photoshop.
Photoshop is not Photoshop Touch, so you may want to post on the appropriate Forum for that application.

Audition CS6 crashes while running Adaptive Noise Reduction

Hi everyone!
So that is the problem, I edit an audio file, run Adaptive Noise Reduction filter, and somewhere during the processing the computer just crashes. Sometimes it happens and sometimes not. I saw that computer showes up an alert message just before the crash but I wasn't fast enough to read what was written there. Recently I did a clean system install and have just some programs installed. Before system reinstall the problem was not there, although the program (audition) is exactly the same. What to do?

Srivas 108 wrote:
The system is Win 7 64 Home Edition. It was working ok before. Maybe I should install all the updated? I hate to do that, my experience is that it slows down the system in the long run, but looks like I should do that.
I run the pro version, but it's basically the same. I've got all the updates installed, but I haven't noticed it slow down at all. Mind you, this is a fast system anyway. But if it's crashing, then installing updates won't fix that; you need a fresh reinstall on an absolutely clean disc first. Okay, that's a pain - but look on the bright side; you aren't running Windows 8. Recently I wasted nearly a day of my life on that, and I'll never get it back. The basic rule about M$ OS's hasn't changed - it's only the odd-numbered ones that are worth bothering with, as a rule. And none of them are worth installing until the first service pack is issued.

Any chance Photoshop itself will get Camera Raw's noise reduction and sharpening?

I would love to have the noise reduction and sharpening from ACR 6 in Photoshop itself for JPEG, TIFF, and PSD files. Yes, I know I can open those files in ACR, apply noise reduction and sharpening, and then have it then open the files to Photoshop. But it would be so nice if we could do that without having to go through Camera Raw.

Matt Howell wrote:
Yes, I am absolutely saying that the noise reduction and sharpening of ACR 6 is vastly superior to any filters in Photoshop CS5.
For those who only work only with RAW files this is a non-issue, but I sometimes prefer to use TIFF files generated by CANON DPP software or occasionally even JPEG's straight out of Canon DSLR's. Going through ACR just for noise reduction causes unnecessary color space conversions, as well as just a needlessly complex workflow.
Perhaps you should ask Canon to make DPP noise reduction better. I also do not think is a good idea to get too aggressive with noise reduction and sharpening when you first bring a image into Photoshop unless you only use the image single use for a particular output device. Your better off working with a somewhat soft image till you ready for output and then sharpen for the output devive being used. If you use strong sharpening and NR up front sharpeing again for your output device may produce unwanted sharpening and NR artifacts... There are several third party noise reduction and sharpening plug-ins that are better then Adobe Photoshop built in ones. Noise reduction has to be balanced too much will loose detail masking detail is important. ACR noise reduction provides masking adjustments and works well. Third party plug-ins offer offer advanced masking features also. Photoshop noise reduction filter has a basic preserve detail slider which I presumes does some kind of masking but this is not as good at ACR masking and third paty masking. You can of course add you own masking before using photoshop noise reduction filter. Sharpening also needs masking for sarpening will sharpen noise as well as detail.
IMO your better off with third party plug-ins that are designed to be the best. They keep getting better there is no clear winner for all images. I'm been satisfied with NeatImage and I have only had to pay for two upgrades. I had to pay for the addition the 32 bit plugin then and for the addition a 64 bit plugin. All other updates to NeatImage has been free of charge even the lates version 7 of the 64 bit plugin was no charge for me.

Noise reduction adds pops between cuts

I sent my final cut project to a multitrack soundtrack file in order to reduce the noise that the microphone was making. After adding the noise reduction filter to all of the sound clips I played it back and each time a sound clip switches to another there's a little pop noise. I can't get rid of it. I even tried using the pop and click remover. Does anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks,
Kerry

Try posting a clip on the web for us.
What happens if you pull the noise reduction off? It just may be the difference between digital silence and the clip coming on. In which you add the little fade-in envelopes.
You might have to add blank room tone underneath the voice track.
You might have to reduce the amount of noise reduction.

Color Noise reduction with BxW

Just wanted to share what I have seen so far with this:
I sometimes use extreme HSL shifts with BxW images to achieve the tonal separation that I am looking for. This can lead to splotchyness, if taken toooo far. I just installed 1.4.1 and tried the color noise reduction filter for this (it was my most desired feature in the 1.4 update)
As of 5 minutes of playing with it I can say it works. It is not perfect, and it does cause a very slight softening of detail (very slight) But it definitely does help to remove a good bit of the aforementioned splotches.

Maybe this is snobbish, if so I apologize. I know that topics go off base sometimes...but this conversation has nothing to do with the topic I started. It should really have been it's own topic (for more than one reason. Maybe others need the info about slide shows, but would not look at this due to it's title).
Except for being about noise reduction it has nothing to do with what I wanted to hear other users comment on: The use of the color noise reduction slider with BxW images in 1.4.1
Again sorry if this is rude of me. I don't belong to too many forums and really don't know what the proper etiquette is here.

Audio noise reduction in iMovie 09?

I have some video shot with a Nokia N95 mobile phone. Some of the audio is recorded directly with the phone, some experimenting with connecting an external microphone. The sound recorded with the external mic is better but I still get a lot of noise / hiss. I think that with iMovie 06 (which I no longer have installed and can't download from the Apple site) there was a relatively simple noise reduction filter. I can't see how to do the same with '09. Any suggestions on how to (rapidly) clean up audio from mobile phones (or from video shot with digicams, for that matter)?
And if anyone has any tips or hardware hacks that would allow me to improve the sound while filming with a mobile phone I would be very interested to hear them.
Many thanks!

I have the same problem. The best imovie is and the only solution to this problem is the imovie HD. I can't belive what's happening with the imovies... What's happening with apple software? What's happening to apple??

Export of noise reduction does not look like Develop preview

Hi,
I have a photo that has noise reduction applied, however, after export, it looks as if NO noise reduction has been applied. Other photos look like they have the noise reduction applied. Not sure why this one would refuse to export the noise reduction filter. In the Develop preview, it looks great, no noise. After export, noise.
Different but possibly related, On all photos, I noticed that the noise reduction preview in Develop doesn't update unless I zoom-in/zoom-out, then it updates it. But if I make any adjustments to the slider it doesn't update until I zoom-in/zoom-out again. This seems like a bug.

Noise Reduction wont apply to track

I am having a rather difficult time getting a audio track i have sent from FCP to play nicely in soundtrack. I sent the audio file from FCP as a audio file project, it opens up, i set my noise print, and adjust the reduction accordingly. Then once i try to apply the effect it will act as if the reduction action was applied but it doesn't actually apply to the track. I did select the area i wanted it to affect and i get nothing. I tried to save the reduction as a Script and apply it to the track in FCP and i end up with the same result. The part that is confusing me the most is if i select the Reduce Noise from the action list and play the track through the reduction hud it plays correctly it just wont apply to the track. Any help would be very much appreciated.
I am running SoundTrack 2.0.2 and Final Cut Pro 6.0.5

Hmm, this might sound obvious, but did you "Save" the audio file project after applying the noise reduction filter? You have to save the project before it will update in FCP. Also, after you apply the filter to the file, the noise reduction should show up in the actions list, before you save and flatten the project.
