Video Noise Reduction

Does anyone know what filter I can use in timelin to replicate this video noise reduction?

OK.
My personal choice would be Dark Energy for After Effects. It's amazing! But it's also pricey at $500
Neat Video also makes a plug-in for noise removal, and while many people swear by it, I found it somewhat...'incompetent' for the task compared to Dark Energy. At least with the couple of clips I tested with.
Red Giant's DeNoiser is also an option, but I have no experience with that one.

Is there a video noise reduction facility on final cut pro x?

İs there a video noise reduction facility or plugin on final cut pro x?

I appreciate this is an old thread and things have moved on but...
I have just been given a whole load of GoPro footage to work with that is very noisey (video noise) and needs some work.
FCP X still doesn't seem to like 'Neat Video' which works well (at times) but apart from the hang-ups takes a lifetime to render. The 'FxFactory' module isn't really doing it for me... Has anyone tried the 'Pixel Studios' plug in contained in their ProLens offering?
Thanks

Video noise reduction software?

Sorry... but I've asked this question in the Tiger OS forum about video noise reduction for iMovie HD 6 and/or QT files but haven't got far with it.
If anyone on this forum has any suggestions about what I could use to reduce visual noise - basically transferred film grain in digitisation, I'd really appreciate it
(better still a free software download or trial would be even more appreciated)?

I'm not aware of any free good denoiser.
Neat video has a trial, but I think it's either watermarked or limited to SD. But it is really good and the trial will give you an idea of what iyt can do and whether it's worth the outlay for your purposes.
Another option is Adobe After Effects. A bit of a learning curve, but they have a trial.
Good luck.

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?

Thank you

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.

Video Noise Reduction Plugins (Neat Video, Natress, Etc.)

We are doing some finishing on a short documentary film and some shots (HVX-200 in a dark, poorly lit, blue-starved, turkey barn) need a small amount of noise reduction to maintain the overall look of the film.
We tested a demo of Neat Video's noise reduction plugin and feel the quality is acceptable. But I am curious if there are any other suggested alternatives. The only other plugin than interests me is the Natress Smart Denoise which works as a Color plugin and would be even more appropriate for our workflow.
Are there any other options we should be checking out?
Thanks!

Any high definition video noise reduction programs/plugins out there?

i have a Sony HDR HC1, and im just using iMovie to import the HD video then send it to FCE3.5.....and i dont plan to buy a new camera until i make my second low-budget feature (editing my first right now).....and i have some low-light shots that shows bluish-colored noise (the camera has a CMOS chip) and i need to know how to get rid of the noise (and for a less noisy picture overall, even though very little in normal light conditions).

Er, 'Cineframe' (pseudo 24p) and 'CineGamma' (film-like brightness range) are available on the bigger FX1 and Z1, but not on the smaller HC1, sorry. But the HC1 has a similar (or maybe identical) 'Cinema Effect', which does simulate 24fps film.
However, you can't choose this (under 'D. EFFECT' in the 'PICT. APPLI.' menu) if you've already chosen a film-like manual shutter speed ..e.g; 1/25.
You can't keep the 'film-like' manual 25 shutter speed, either, if you choose, in the 'PROGRAM AE' menu, 'PORTRAIT' (..which generally tries to give the widest available aperture, to give shallow depth-of-field like a 35mm film camera lens).
So for a "film-like" appearance with the HC1 I'd choose:
Manual shutter speed - 25
Sharpness - up a bit from normal
Steadyshot - ON
Manual exposure - ON (..that's the little round button next to the 'Exposure/Vol' switch on the left-hand side, below the Backlight button..)
This HD Sony camcorder is probably way beyond the price range you're interested in, but the V1U does offer most of what you want..!
The Panasonic HVX200 is extremely versatile ..but the cost of memory cards is probably prohibitive ..unless you shoot only 8 minutes at a time!
(..Here's a useful comparison between the earlier Sonys, JVC and the Panasonic, but it doesn't mention the new V1U..)
(..The Canon XL2 offers 24p and interchangeable lenses, but no HDV..)
Essentially, the JVC HD100/110 shoots only HDV (or DV) 720p (24, 25, 30fps), Progressive (full frame) format, and doesn't shoot "video-like" 1080i (interlaced) at all. So it's specifically intended for tape-to-film transfer, which may be what you want.
Here's a .pdf of the instruction book.
Notice that the JVC is a manual focus camera ..there is no autofocus at all. It comes with a 16x zoom, but no figures given for its low-light limit, such as 4 lux or 6 lux.
The original HDV 1-chip JVC GR-HD1 is to be avoided, as its low-light performance - and performance overall - is pretty poor.
The new Sony V1, having a fixed, built-in, non-interchangeable lens does have autofocus - though that can be switched off. It shoots HDV 24p and 30p, but also 'normal' non-progressive video. Here's Adam Wilt's assessment of it. It has a 20x zoom, and shoots down to about 4 lux.
Sony's earlier - and cheaper - Z1 has a 12x (autofocus) zoom, 60i and 50i video shooting, and 'synthesized' 30p, 25p and 24p modes, which Sony calls 30F, 25F and 24F ..as these are progressive frames constructed from various interleaved fields and frames. So 24F isn't exactly the same as 24p. Minimum light: 3 lux.
[..The 'super-HAD' CCDs in the FX1/Z1 don't appear to give any vertical smear of bright highlights ..though that's often quoted as a particular selling point of CMOS chips, compared with CCDs..]
I use the UK-only 50i version (the FX1) of the Z1, and can say that it's excellent in incredibly low light. These HDV Sonys (..except the 7 lux HC1..) all feature optional "CineGamma", which alters the recorded brightness range to look more like film than video, and "CineFrame" which is this artificial progressive mode - called 'Cinema Effect' on the HC1.
Here's some more info about Sony's 'CineFrame' pseudo 24p.
In summary:
The JVC is the nearest HDV you'll get to true 24p, but it's less easy to handle (no autofocus, 16x zoom) than a Sony, and doesn't offer interlaced video recording like a normal camcorder ..so it'd probably be inappropriate for shooting for TV.
The V1 is a multi-talented video/24p camera, with a big 20x zoom, low-light, but doesn't take interchangeable lenses.
The Panasonic HVX200 seems to offer the best of many worlds, but has only a 13x built-in zoom, and although it shoots extremely hi-quality material onto memory cards, they're expensive and have only a small capacity.
Yer pays yer money and yer takes yer choice..

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.

Video noise / grain reduction

There was a previous discussion on grain and noise reduction but I believed it expired. What filters/ plug ins/ other apps have people used successfully in reducing grain and video noise?
thx

There's some great thoughts in this thread:

Noise reduction (process) on HD video's audio with shotgun microphone (hissing)

okay so i normally master live sets on the condenser microphone in my teams studio but it is not available to the public so i've started doing freestyles, when i use the noise reduction (process) on the audio of my HD videos to remove background noise which my camera is intaking for some reason unknown (on both shotgun and camera) this is without any corrections on, everything on manual etc so nothing to cause the distorted hissing sound.
I stand with the speakers behind my as my shotgun doesn't pick up much from behind so the beat is very quiet, i then have the mc's in front of me performing and i later on add on a 320kps version of the beat in audition and add that audio onto the video.
I started with the FFT size: 4096
And then switched over to try again on FFT size 512 which both fully removed the beat and hissing from the whole audio (what i was aiming for) but both still messed with my video's audio by making their voices sound weird and echoy.
The hissing problem i'm encountering is common although it randomly started a week or so ago, my camera is the Canon 600D
i've looked up on how to resolve the issue but none of the fixes have worked for me
Putting everything on manual didn't work
Turning auto corrections off didn't work
Turning the volume down a lot did work but did not pick up sound levels or quality anywhere near the level i need
I phoned up canon customer services and they told me to send me camera off to the other side of the UK since i have warranty but i need this camera daily and can't afford to go however long they plan to take to return my camera in working order.
If anyone has any advice for me it would be much appreciated, thank you.

When you get to Process > Noise Reduction > Reduce Noise, usually a preset isn't the answer, but some manual fiddling.
Here's the way I approach this:
1. When I set the noise print, I play/loop the clip and note the level of the noise in your meters. When I get to the threshold in the noise reduction window, that level will be the extreme highest threshold I use, only going lower from there.
2. When it comes to the reduction, I check the Noise only box while I'm setting it, and boost the reduction until I'm getting noise, but not too much signal I want to preserve. If I hear voice in there, I'm doing too much. And I rarely end up going beyond 60%.
3. Uncheck the noise only box, and listen to the signal with noise reduced to fine tune further.
Remember this is noise reduction, not noise elimination. And, the STP tool is pretty good for what it is, but it's not anywhere near the best out there.
Good luck, and I hope this helps!

B8080 (10 HD+) How I can OFF "microphone noise reduction" at video-recording?

With my Yoga 10 HD+ (model B8080) I have very bad sound than I recording (and play) sport-disco competition (with modern loud music) than I seating at scene (not under big dynamic loudspeaker).
B8080 can't record this music...
I listen only trash (crunch and sound holes).
How can I to OFF "microphone noise reduction"?
to test recording without reduction.
Thans for help!

Yes, you are right - you do already have most of the parts to the answer of your question.
For clarity here's the whole procedure:
1. Make sure you have cloned your drive properly, using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!*, and had set the clone to be bootable in the relevant utlity's preferences.
2. With the external drive still connected via FireWire, restart the PowerBook.
3. Upon hearing the startup chime, press and hold down the 'option'/alt key until you see the Startup Manager.
4. Select the icon of the drive you want to boot up from.
5. Click the 'right arrow' icon to boot up from the drive you have chosen.
*SD! has an option to automatically reboot from the external drive after the cloning process.

Vocal Irregularity after applying Noise Reduction

In this new project I followed Bob Howes instruction:
‘Set the FFT size (on the advanced menu) to 2048 and grab a noise print from a gap of "silence". Select the entire filed and do reduction by 7 or 8 dB and 15%ish reduction. Set the FFT size to the next one up, get a new noise print and do another pass with the same low settings. Keep going, upping the FFT size each time.’
This new project I started out first with a Hard Limit. Then I followed Bob's advise with managing by steps the FFT size.
Sample One is a piece of the original.
Sample Two is the results of the effects.
It sounds as though the speed of the vocals did changed - though one can listen to the vocal their conversation sounds - unnatural.
After removing noise is there another approach to redeem the vocals of those speaking?
Thanks!

Yes, you have very much overdone the Noise Reduction!
First, I'm not sure why you would need to first apply a "Hard Limit".
Second, are you sure you followed Bob's advice exactly, i.e taking a new noise sample and changing the FFT size on each pass? Are you sure you set everything exactly correct on that first pass?

Why does PhotoShop CC 2014 crash my Windows 7 Professional 64-bit PC every time I try to use Sharpen/Blur Reduction and also Noise Reduction ??!!!???

Hi Adobe
You a have a really wonderful PhotoShop CC product. It's really great, and I know new versions such as 2014 have their teething problems.
But I am getting really sick of my Windows 7 Professional 64-bit PC being crashed whenever I try to use PhotoShop CC 2014 Sharpen / Blur Reduction and also Noise Reduction.
This happens both with JPG's and PSD's.
Please sort your **** out and get some patches out to address this quickly !!
Chris Tattersall

Chris,
It doesn't crash for everyone. A person could be forgiven for saying, in return, "Please sort out your **** system problems".
Trust me when I say many, many problems are caused by the computer system setup not being up to the needs of this cutting-edge graphics software. Photoshop is heavily dependent on the GPU, and GPU drivers are notorious for having bugs (they're primarily written to run games).
However, that being said, recent driver releases from both ATI and nVidia do actually work pretty well with Photoshop CC 2014.
What video card do you have?
What display driver version are you running?
If you're unsure how to tell these things, go into Photoshop, choose Help - System Info, copy the data, and post it here.

Adjust Video Noise

So I would like to adjust some video noise of a clip recorded in low light. Any suggestions? I searched and found an addon called neat video but not working correctly. Any info greatly appreciated on how to adjust this video noise. Thanks

Actually I am looking at answers for both. When I posted this topic, I was originally looking to adjust video noise to several clips recorded in low light. Then I came across once clip, where the background audio noise is too loud where you cannot hear the person speaking. It happened to be when I responded, I was so caught up on the audio noise reduction search that I forgot what my original topic was all about. So yes I am looking at adjusting both, video noise recorded during low lights and reducing background noise on a clip.Thanks again and I apologize for the confusion... I can post a new subject for audio noise...

Noise reduction did nothing - no instructions for the process

I entered noise reducer in the help menu and "what's new in imovie comes up" - I am looking for info on the process to apply noise reduction and nothing applied even two layers down in what came up in "what's new in imovie".
I have bought the book iMovie HD 6 & iDVD 6 and it does not give direction on how to apply. It does say page on 157, "this effect minimizes white noise, crowd noise, and hum - but nothing else - no directions on how to apply!
My audio clip is selected in the time line and if it is as simple as selecting the apply button in audiofx, then select noise reduction, then select apply - IT DID NOTHING.
Is this how it works for application and out come?
Can anyone help,
jim

No, but the Help menu in iMovie does:
To add an audio effect:
Click the Timeline Viewer button (shown above).
Select the audio clip or clips you want to add an effect to.
Tip: To learn how to select multiple clips, see "Selecting clips" below.
Click the Editing button, and then click Audio FX at the top of the Editing pane.
Select the audio effect you want from the effects list.
Adjust the settings for the effect.
Different controls appear depending on the effect you select. For example, if you select Reverb, you can adjust the intensity of the reverberation by choosing a reverb style and dragging the Less/More slider.
Click Preview to hear the effect.
To stop previewing the effect, click Preview again.
If necessary, repeat any of the above steps until you have the effect the way you want it.
To add the effect to your selected clips, click Apply.
When you add an audio effect to a video clip, iMovie automatically extracts the audio from the clip. The extracted audio with the applied effect appears as a separate clip in one of the audio tracks in the timeline viewer. If you want to add multiple audio effects to the same portion of video, be sure to select the extracted audio clip to add the additional effects to.

Noise Reduction process in Audition

I have a talking head video with a lot of background noise.
I first selected both audio and video tracks and right-clicked to Unlink them.
Then I selected the audio track and right-clicked to Edit in Auditon.
In Audition > Effects menu > Noise Reduction > Noise Reduction process, I hit the Capture Noise Print button, but an error message comes up stating my clip is too short.
When I follow the instructions and change the FFT to the smallest size option (512), it still doesn't work. I have tried strining a few short background noise clips together, but it doesn't work.
Questions:
1) How long does a backgroung noise clip have to be?
2) What does FFT stand for, and why are the number options in that dropdown menu as they are?
3) How can I get this to work?

The step that appears to be missing here is that you haven't highlighted the section that you want to capture the noise print from - if you select nothing, then yes, your selection is too short!
Questions:
1) How long does a backgroung noise clip have to be?
2) What does FFT stand for, and why are the number options in that dropdown menu as they are?
3) How can I get this to work?
1) You can get away with as little as a quarter of a second, depending on the FFT size. If you use a large FFT size, the analysis window won't be large enough.
2) FFT stands for Fast Fourier Transform. In this context, the numbers relate (in simple terms) to an analysis window. Smaller numbers generally make a better job of low frequency noise reduction, and are quicker to apply, but larger numbers generally do a better job overall, if you have a large enough noise sample and don't mind waiting longer for the results. This isn't a precise science; you often have to experiment a lot to get a good result, and it's very easy to overdo it. In CS6 there are alternatives as well - you might try the automatic adaptive NR process successfully on some material, but generally the full-blown version works better.
The other thing that a lot of people do, which also yields good results, is to do two NR passes, one with a high FFT and one with a low FFT, but not trying to reduce the noise too much on either one. The overall effect is a similar level of NR, but often with less artefacts.
3) Read and understand this post, and its implications!
