Some After Effects questions
Posted: Mon Aug 18, 2008 5:51 pm
I'm using Neat Video Pro in AE CS3 and I have a few questions.
1. I am doing some relighting of scenes using 3d lights. I am also using Neat Video on the same clips. Before adding lights I take my noise sample and set-up Neat Video. Is this the right workflow? If I then add lights will that affect the noise sample or noise reduction at all during my final export render?
2. How much sharpening do you recommend we can get away with before messing up the look of the video? In the advanced mode when is it useful to use the mids and lows for the sharpening as opposed to just using the highs.
P.S. I also own Neat Video pro for Vegas and just wanted to recommend that you let people know (perhaps with a dialog box) that you need to have Vegas preview setting on Best/Full when taking your noise sample. The problem is that most people using Vegas (especially in HDV) do not have the preview any higher than Preview best/half during editing for playback reasons. I mentioned this requirement on the Vegas forums recently and it came as a suprise to many Neat video users.
By the way your program is amazing. Great work!
