NV footage brighter after render
Posted: Wed Jun 03, 2009 3:52 am
I am working in Final Cut Pro 6.04 trying to repair footage shot in HDV with a 35mm adapter that had the motor turned off so there is a great deal of static grain that is virtually all luminance noise. i'm using a timeline that is mainly HDV but renders in "Pro Res 422.)
I am enormously impressed by what the FCP Neat Video plug in is able to do with this stiff and don't think any other software could come close.
I have one problem though that is a major pain. My rendered footage is coming out substantially brighter than what I see in the timeline when I am doing the color correcting along with the Neat Vid adjustments.
In my case I am also masking my footage to use more Neat Vid on the sky and less on the talent's face. So I am combining 3 levels of video with a luminance key . The result is a substantial brightness increase as I have Neat applied to 3 video levels on one shot.
