Iwould like to avoid buying Grain Surgery by using this but.

Post by Kiwi Sheep »

my problem is that I'd like to remove grain from images produced by video. I can see at this moment, the only work around is to convert the video images to JPG and have it run through this software to remove the grain. But I'd like to do this as a batch process. How does the batch process work?

My question is. Does NI v2 allows me to supply a noise profile as parameter to the batch process?

It would be nice if you can develop a plug-in for AE that uses NI technology?

Grain Surgery is just too expensive.

Yes, it is possible to filter video in this way. One of our users reported that he succeded by doing the following:
1) split the video file into a series of still image files (BMP, TIFF, or JPEG)
2) compose a batch file with commands like the following:
NeatImage.exe image00345.tif image00345_clean.tif profile.dnp preset.nfp
NeatImage.exe image00346.tif image00346_clean.tif profile.dnp preset.nfp
..
3) start this batch file (it will call Neat Image to process each image, one after another)
4) reassemble the video file from the set of filtered images

So, to answer your question - yes, NI does use noise profile (and filter preset) as parameters.

Thank you for the suggestion regarding video filtration. We will come to this in the future.

Best regards,
Vlad
