Neat Video & Neat Image community

For what it's worth, Vlad, I read on the Blender posting that this is specific to MacOS - Linux and Windows are not affected.

It's always a pleasure to give something back though.

Hi Vlad, already on that version - I would upload an imagine of the control panel, but that won't tell you much more. Anything else I can do? ===== UPDATE: Found a thread on the Blender forums that suggests Mac users have to install the CUDA Toolkit. http://www.blender.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2548...

iMac 27" - no CUDA? Neat Video 3.3; CUDA version 5.0.37 Any ideas? Been looking forward to CUDA acceleration for a while... :'-( ============ Looking for NVIDIA CUDA-capable devices... Failed to initialize CUDA driver. If you use an NVIDIA card, please install the latest CUDA driver from NVIDIA...

You're quite correct: a single profile can't do everything with the current technology - if it could, NEAT would probably come with preset profiles! ;-) The problem you have is that automatic ISO. The shutter speed and aperture only determine the amount of light that hits the sensor (three in your c...

Hi VVulture, I'll explain in a bit more detail and hopefully this will make it clearer! :D What you have to be careful of here is to note the ISO setting on the camera. It might be that your cam is trying to be "helpful" but adjusting the ISO (in effect, turning up the volume) when it dete...

This isn't obvious in NEAT - the Interface is a little weak in this regard. The profile is additive. You load each section (a good way is to load them in order of brightness, but it's not crucial) and then calibrate as you go. You can save your "progress" if you like at each step and then ...

Short answer: in my experience, yes. The noise effect is a function of many things - but its primarily caused by (a) sensor noise and (b) amplifier noise. The nice thing about sensor and amp noise is that, for a given set of settings, they tend to remain fairly predictable - if that's the right word...

The Neat Image Calibration Target can useful for such test shots. Also, do not forget than different shooting modes (like ISO 6400 vs ISO 12800) can produce very different noise, so they require separate noise profiles. Vlad Very true (I should have pointed that out) [slaps wrist]. It probably appl...

I'm fairly new to Neat Video and as such I followed the tutorials with interest. They didn't help all that much - as the video I'd shot was largely unsuitable for calibration. For those with a similar problem this solution worked well for me. Use the tutorial videos certainly - but, and this the cru...
