Ok, corny title. \u00a0Met a nice guy at my niece’s wedding this weekend. \u00a0He is going to produce the video for the event and we got to talking about Neat Video. \u00a0Ya see, with digital cameras and a dark event like a wedding its not uncommon to experience noise (grainy image) in the darker scenes. \u00a0Some of you I am sure know what I am talking about and have experienced this with your phone or even low priced cameras. \u00a0There is only a couple ways to get around this… add light or increase the cameras ability to bring in light. \u00a0Both of these options are limited. \u00a0I am sure if you cranked up the candle power on your lights at the reception you’d piss off the bride and the camera can only do so much to bring in more light. \u00a0In comes Neat Video. \u00a0Just like Dolby Noise Reduction used to reduce the tape hiss or “noise” of your old cassettes, Neat Video reduces video noise. \u00a0I know, I know not “just like” but its a simple way to look at it. \u00a0Neat Video is available as a plug in for many editors and the way it is used is generally the same for all. \u00a0It goes for $99 and it is available at www.neatvideo.com<\/a>. \u00a0Take a look below at my sample of it being used in FCPX. \u00a0Its fairly easy and may help you save that shot.<\/p>\n
