Neat Video for Final
Cut

Neat Video for Final Cut is a video noise-reduction plug-in designed to reduce noise and grain in digital video sequences produced by digital video cameras, camcorders, TV-tuners, digitizers of film, or analog video.

Optimized for modern hardware for faster processing:

• CPU-based processing: Up to 1.5x faster
• GPU-based processing: 1 GPU: 1.3x..2.0x faster (1.6x average); 2 GPUs: 1.4x..2.0x faster (1.7x average)

Better filtration results: cleaner and crispier video

• Flicker reduction
• Jitter reduction (jitter of details)
• Improved noise reduction
• (helped by flicker and jitter reduction)
• Improved Sharpening with additional controls
• Improved Dust and Scratches filter
• (helped by flicker reduction)
• Improved filtration of monochrome videos
• Better out-of-box processing of FullHD, 4K and larger videos
• (Very Low Frequency filtration is now enabled by default)
• New tools to check accuracy and tune noise profiles

Easier than ever before:

• Automatic multi-frame analysis to build more accurate profiles
• Flexible Generic Profiles
• (fully adjustable, with visual assistance)
• Playback to check preview in motion, directly in Neat Video window
• Visually assisted tuning for profiles and filters
• Illustrated help dialogs for many filter settings and tuning modes
• Expanded and updated set of pre-built filter presets
• Variants now can be used to test different profiles too

More intuitive and interactive user interface (UI):

• Several name changes in UI, including:
• Main tabs are now called "Prepare Noise Profile" and "Adjust and Preview"
• "Auto Profile" / "Build Profile" button (changes depending on selection)
• "Profile Check", "Assist Image", "Filter Settings Check", etc.
• "Repeated Frames" instead of former "Slow Shutter"
• Several other items renamed or moved
• Adjusted meaning of the selection color in Prepare Noise Profile tab: the blue color of the selection box now indicates that 'profile has been built using this area' (not 'area was chosen automatically' as in older versions)
• Undo/Redo operations and history of changes for noise profiles
• Select/drag modes in viewer (useful for computers with touchpads)
• Alt+Mouse wheel in viewer zooms to point even when selection is present
• Improved retina support in MacOS (viewer now uses full resolution)
• Ability to toggle Alpha Channel in viewer (when present)
• Preview performance has been optimized
• Preview cache size adjustment to optimize for different resolutions (in Preferences > Preview)
• Additional visual guidance to adjust the GPU memory allowed to Neat Video (in Preferences > Performance)

Other improvements:

• Added support for AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 GPU installed in some new iMacs
• Customized names of profiles and presets are now saved in projects
• An option to erase Neat Video settings and license during uninstallation
• Improved diagnostic data and error reporting

• Changes in products and licensing
• End-User License Agreement has been updated
• Home plug-in supports up to 1 GPU if available
• The plug-in no longer supports 32-bit hosts:
• FCP 7/6; Motion 4/3; Final Cut Express 4
