Thanks I was just about to take a decision about DR or NV, it seems NV is worth it

[@WolfPaul]

oh dangit! thanks

[@joshnlevinson]

Thanks very much for the comparison!
How did you generate a profile in Neat Video? I can never get results that look this good with tough footage!

[@kefirux]

I just use a frame where I can select a large flat area. It usually works good after tuning

[@karajaproduction8860]

good on you

[@STONJAUS_FILMS]

any comments on which one do you like better and why?
thanks

[@kefirux]

I prefer Neat Video because it removes noise. It seems like Davinci freezes noise instead. I use Neat Video if I have a frame with a large flat area where I can make a selection. Otherwise I use Davinci, but it has to be tuned very carefully, default settings don't work

[@DennisSchmitz]

Yh, Resolve's algorithms aren't the best :D
Temporal noise reduction doesn't work with anything moving...
Spatial noise reduction is plain terrible.
Just bought the OFX version of Neat Video and impressed by the results we get.

thanks for this demonstration - I have neat video but I have learnt to color grade in resolve, and edit in premiere - and I'm so confused as to what workflow to use - ideally - premiere then resolve - then final noise reduction with after effects? but so complex

[@kefirux]

Hong Kong Blog it is complicated. I usually use this workflow: editing in Premiere - Grading in davinci Davinci -Using Davinci NR for qualifier only - Mastering in Premiere + Neat Video Noise Reduction

[@HongKongBlog]

Андрей Николаев wow thanks for your reply - what format do you export to from da Vinci back to premiere/ after effects - do you use an image sequence/ lossless format to avoid compressing the video?

[@kefirux]

Hong Kong Blog I use Apple Prores 4444 HQ + Source Resolution, it is the standard for commercial in my country.

The uncompressed video is no longer up?

[@kefirux]

Sorry. I fixed the link in the description www.dropbox.com/s/q3tm7dbyxdmdecu/NR%20Test.mov?dl=0

[@legendp2011]

have you tested DaVinci Resolve 14 yet. is it better than 12 at noise reduction?

[@kefirux]

I have. But I didn't notice any difference in the quality of NR. But I figured that it could be tuned to get the best result. I still prefer Neat Video though
