The latest version of ABSoft’s noise reduction software for editing and compositing applications brings new tools and functions that help create more accurate noise profiles. New features include:

A new Profile Assist viewer mode offers a visually enhanced view of the noise within the frame, which helps to quickly identify the area with the strongest noise and the least amount of details.
Ability to select larger areas for profiling, when available – using larger areas makes the profiling of lower frequency noise more accurate. This is particularly useful for large frame formats such as 4K.
Improved processing of Very Low and Ultra Low frequencies when using small areas for profiling — increasing accuracy in these ranges.

Neat Video 4.5 has also simplified the process of tuning the noise filters and provided enhanced visual preview tools to achieve the optimum results. New features for quick pinpointing the best filter settings include:

A new Preview Assist viewer mode – this mode presents a specially enhanced preview emphasizing weak details. Helping you fine-tune the filter settings in such a way as to preserve such details while still reducing the noise.
A new Noise Level Tuning Assist tool – allows to tweak the Temporal Noise Level using a visually enhanced preview to achieve better results.
A new Slow Shutter Tuning Assist tool – for clips with repeated frames (or repeated noise), this new assist tool helps you to find the right settings of the Slow Shutter mode using a specially enhanced preview.
A new Spatial Filter Tuning Assist tool – Neat Video 4.5 also includes the Spatial Filter Tuning Assist tool that helps to adjust the Spatial Filter settings using a visually enhanced preview.
It is now possible to separately assign the Quality Mode for the temporal filter and spatial filter. This may reduce processing time with minimal effect on quality in some circumstances.

Neat Video is compatible with major editing and compositing applications. Prices range from $74.90 to $249.90, depending on features and host platform. More information on Neat Video’s website.
