Temporal: Quality Mode: High Radius: 5 Everything else - default And I use the max settings, because, why not? Some time ago I compared many of the settings against numerous noise samples. I have determined the settings to keep the colors true for this as well, but it requires "Huffyuv 2.1.1 RGB" as input to Vegas, along with specific settings in Vegas.
When I need to apply multiple noise profiles to one video, I use Sony Vegas Pro 12 or a later version of Vegas Pro by Magix. I think it has something to do with applying noise reduction differently among red, green and blue. There is some color shifting, usually to green, and I read the reason why a while back, and understood it then, but can't explain it, except that it is common in all noise reduction processes. The colors stay very close to true using the above process. HandBrake - transcode muxed mkv to final video MKVToolNix GUI - mux AVI from step 2 with original video file into mkv containerĤ. Occasionally I'll use AviSynth Compare to check the noise reductionģ. Save video using the same settings as aboveĢb.
Video: Compression: FFMPEG Huffyuv lossless codec: Configure: YUV 4:2:0 Bit depth: 8 Prediction method: left Pixel Format: YUV420-709 4:2:0 planar YCbCr (YV12) Rec. Video: Decode Format: Autoselect usually works, but most of what I use is "4:2:0 planar YCbCr (YV12)" Color Space: Rec. Settings:(I saved these settings in VirtualDub2 and Load them each time)Īudio: No audio (audio and everything else will be muxed back in later) YUV instead of RGB - half the filesize and 220fps vs 85fps Scrubbing is super fast in both directionsĪll frames are available (I have frames not available when I use source video with Neat Video filter) I have the space and it doesn't take long I convert to YUV first for several reasons: VirtualDub2 (64-bit latest version) - convert file to AVI I am not a professional, do not do this for income, but have a lot of different formats of video footage, and absolutely hate excessive noise, especially in movies where it was intentional, added post-edit or scanned from dirty film, or early digital in low light, or analog back to the Hi8/VHS-C days (sorry, no analog reel experience), or from compression artifacts found so in most DVDs.ġ. I'd like to share my settings and process flow in the hopes others would share theirs as well, so I could improve my project flow or efficiencies.
