New in Neat Video for After Effects 3.0 (Oct 30, 2011)
- Improved quality of noise reduction:
- Improved quality of temporal noise filter
Improved algorithms better detect and preserve details in filtered video data and thus improve the overall visual quality.
- Improved accuracy of Adaptive Filtration
Adjusting to the changing noise done by Adaptive Filtration option is more precise now, which leads to more accurate noise reduction.
- Higher performance: x2 faster due to CUDA-acceleration:
- Faster noise reduction using modern CUDA-compatible GPUs
For example, enabling NVidia GTX 470 or GTX 285 on an i7-based computer makes Neat Video around x2 faster.
The speedup may be higher with i5 or Core2 Duo machines or with faster CUDA GPUs.
- CPUs and GPUs working together
Neat Video can use both CPUs and GPUs at the same time for faster processing
- Multiple GPU support
Neat Video works even faster with two or more CUDA GPUs
- Optimization of performance settings for multi-core, multi-CPU and multi-GPU systems
- Built-in Optimizer in Neat Video Preferences
- Built-in Benchmark to measure processing speed with specific hardware and performance settings
- Higher performance (more): x2 faster due to improved filter algorithms:
- Additional performance optimizations in filter algorithms to achieve higher rendering speed
Rendering is around x2 faster than in the version 2 (using CPU alone, even without CUDA)
- CUDA-based acceleration and filter optimizations combined together enable up to x4 faster rendering as compared with Neat Video v2.
- OpenFX for Linux is now supported too:
- In addition to the OpenFX plug-ins for Windows and Mac OSX hosts (Nuke, Fusion), Neat Video is now also available as an OpenFX plug-in for Linux host applications (Nuke for Linux, 32-bit and 64-bit).
New in Neat Video for After Effects 2.7 (May 16, 2011)
