Panasonic GH2 Custom Neat Video Profiles (noise reduction)

TreyM — Thu, 09 Apr 2020 07:47:38 +0000

Hi everyone, I spent a few hours over the past two days creating some Neat Video noise profiles for the GH2 running Moon T8. Currently, I have only created profiles for the 24H, 24L, and 720p60 SH settings, and I use Neat Video version 4. I'm not sure if these profiles will work on other versions, but they may.

If there is enough interest, I can begin to expand the profiles to support more video modes and various hacks beyond Moon T8.

I created a profile for each ISO setting, including secondary settings for the ISO bugged modes (up to 2500 ISO for those) ("clean" is normal, "dirty" is with the bug in case you forget to fix the problem and shoot with the ISO bug)

These profiles were created using the Smooth film mode at -2 -2 -2 -2, though they will probably still work with other modes. What is being picked up here is mostly sensor ISO noise since Moon T8's bitrate is so high.

The end result is that I have been able to recover about 1 - 1.5 stops of extra detail in the shadows on my shots as opposed to it looking like a total mess of noise. If you shoot at crazy high ISO settings, it can't make a shot at 12,800 ISO look like 200 ISO, but as long as your footage is reasonable, you can greatly expand the usable dynamic range of the camera and color grading is that much better.

These profiles should be used FIRST before doing any other processing such as grading, sharpening, scaling, or color correction. Etc...

The 1080p24 profiles seem to work fine on footage shot in variable mode, for example, if you use the 80% mode for slight slow motion.

NeatVideo 4 denoise presets and profiles for Panasonic Lumix G7, for 4K and Full HD.

Conservative amount of denoise to avoid plastic look and keep image texture after denoise.

Camera settings:

Standard
Sharpness +1 (also works for sharpness 0)
Noise reduction -5

Two versions:

Without shadow/highlight curves
With shadow/highlight curves, S+3/H-3 (the maximum amount before image gets ugly) (can be used also for S+2/H-2)

Using Neat Video on GH4 VLOG footage

Brian_Siano — Tue, 13 Dec 2016 10:08:42 +0000

I have some V-log footage where color grading and applying a LUT has made it a bit grainy. I'd like to reduce that with Neat Video. But my question is, which do I apply first?

Do I apply Neat Video on the V-log footage, and then apply a LUT? Or, do I apply a LUT and color correction, and let Neat go to work on the more visible grain and noise?

Noise Reduction software like Neat Video

I'm looking for some seriously good noise reduction software, and these are the two that keep getting discussed. Right now, I'm probably going to get ColorGhear-- it's cheaper, there's a lot of color correction features, handles full-hi-def for the money, plus the tutorials-- but Neat keeps getting nice notices for noise reduction.

Has anyone used both of these? Or developed some kind of comparison video?
