Neat Video, Sony Vegas Pro 10 and Vasst Ultimate S Pro 4.1
Posted: Sat Dec 04, 2010 11:35 am
I am editing an outdoor dockside wedding reception in HDV 1080/50i with some low light situations and a fair bit on panning in and out of good and bad light. I did have an on-camera light, but I could only bounce it off the ceiling (at request of the client). The ceiling height varied and so did the background as the subjects moved around, causing them to be in and out of the light. I don't generally have a portion of the frame that is empty for the intra-frame analysis.
This is a multi-cam edit that I am using the Ultimate S Pro 4.1 plugin to manage switching of takes. The edit is 99% complete and I was about to finalise it (low light noise and all) when I came across a tutorial post in the Creative Cow forum. The footage looks mostly OK when rendered and viewed on a 46" hi-def LCD TV, but there are times when softness is evident, especially in candle-lit scenes. The crunching down from HDV to DV seems to have eliminated much of the 'snow' effect but not the softness. I presume Neat Video can 'crisp' that up.
1) Are you aware if Neat Video Pro will work with the Vasst plugin?
2) How does Neat Video handle the lighting change as I pan from good to bad light. Do I have to cut the clips and apply the filter to just the clips in low light?
I haven't purchased the product yet, but I am not sure that the product is capable of doing what I need, hence this post.
Thanks in advance.
