questions, examples, need advice (adobe premiere cs6)
Posted: Wed Apr 02, 2014 4:53 am
I just purchased the program the other day, in hopes of it assisting me with footage from my new camera, so obviously I'm a beginner with all the ins and outs of it. The camera's a Sony HDR-CX230. I bought it based mostly on online reviews, which turned out to be misleading. I've been experimenting with neatvideo for a couple days now on cleaning up the footage. The camera outputs to .MTS files with HD size, though I'm not sure if that's the original format or if its stretched to accomodate. In the correct lighting situations it can get beautiful shots, but the noise percentage while shooting in low light is horrible.
Original footage:

While playing around with the neatvideo program I happened upon some good results.

As you can see, not the greatest , but useful for what I needed it for. Thats a screenshot from adobe premiere pro, but as far as I can tell the issue is with the export. I output to H.264, 1080p 29.97 fps, to fit closely with the other footage for the project, but the video after export looks alot different from the results on my timeline, with artifacts and remnants and in some spots new "noise". Would the export settings or codecs have any different effect? Would exporting in .mpg or something else possibly bring about better results? If anyone has any experience/advice with these problems, either on the export/codec settings or any experience with the quality of that original footage, and possible ideas on how to clean it up, I'd be greatly appreciative and it'd help my current projects a ton.
Also, as an aside, a youtube video pertaining to the neatvideo program directed me to a test target sheet, for calibrating a noise profile. I'd printed out the sheet, tried using it in the program, but to no avail. Does anyone have experience with this? Or maybe point me in the right direction on how to use this noise profile sheet?
