![]() ![]() The GH2 has a nosier sensor than the 60D but it’s noise reduction in video mode is far more advanced than on the 60D’s much older DIGIC 4 image processor. How can these plugins do such a good job compared to the camera itself and just how important is good noise reduction to DSLR video?įor the answer you only have to compare the GH1’s smooth AVCHD output to it’s MJPEG codec or the GH2’s video mode to the 60D’s. So I can say that if you edit on a Macbook Pro, not a really beefy desktop editing suite, Neat Video in Premiere CS5 is the one to go for. After asking people on Twitter, most of them said the same. ![]() Maybe I have an issue with the Magic Bullet Plugin because it surely shouldn’t take so much longer to render than Neat Video, but I found it did. They produce similarly excellent results but I found Neat Video to be quicker to render in Premiere CS5 (which may have a lot to do with it). Its important to view this clip full screen, preferably by downloading it and not on a laptop screen to see the effect properly for yourself. I am comparing the unprocessed clip off the card, and the same clip processed by Neat Video and Magic Bullet Denoiser. (I took the Jena round the DDR Museum yesterday and had a bit of chuckle to myself). The first 2 clips in the sequence above were shot in low light on an F2.4 Zeiss Jena at ISO 3200 from a music video I’m shooting in Berlin. After applying this kind of ‘proper’ noise reduction, the only question to ask is how much detail is kept over from the original and how natural colour saturation is left – because if you’re getting noisy source footage these aspects will fall off no matter how good the plugins are.īut in short, noise is gone. Footage is cleaned up in a much improved manner compared to onboard the camera. Neat Video and Magic Bullet Denoiser changes your expectations of DSLR footage altogether. Needless to say there is a lot of noise about noise. If you put all the threads written about ISO noise on internet forums together in a line it would stretch to the edge of space and back again. Please download the video.Īlong with peace on earth, the most sought after achievement for DSLR consumers is clean ISO 3200. If you play the video as-is here, streaming from Vimeo you will see very little difference because huge amount of noise is smeared away by Vimeo’s compression. ![]()
