(I took the Jena round the DDR Museum yesterday and had a bit of chuckle to myself). The first 2 clips in the sequence above were shot in low light on an F2.4 Zeiss Jena at ISO 3200 from a music video I’m shooting in Berlin. After applying this kind of ‘proper’ noise reduction, the only question to ask is how much detail is kept over from the original and how natural colour saturation is left – because if you’re getting noisy source footage these aspects will fall off no matter how good the plugins are.īut in short, noise is gone. Footage is cleaned up in a much improved manner compared to onboard the camera.

Neat Video and Magic Bullet Denoiser changes your expectations of DSLR footage altogether. Needless to say there is a lot of noise about noise. If you put all the threads written about ISO noise on internet forums together in a line it would stretch to the edge of space and back again. Please download the video.Īlong with peace on earth, the most sought after achievement for DSLR consumers is clean ISO 3200. If you play the video as-is here, streaming from Vimeo you will see very little difference because huge amount of noise is smeared away by Vimeo’s compression.
