  • Improved support for new GPUs (Compute Capability 2.x)
  • Optimized use of memory in GPU processing, making rendering more stable and in some cases faster
  • Improved stability of GPU processing for large frames (such as 8k)
  • Several compatibility issues and bugs have been fixed

New in Neat Video for Premiere 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 Premiere 2.7 (May 16, 2011)

  • Added support for Premiere CS5.5
  • Control in Preferences to adjust the number of CPU cores used for rendering
  • Semi-transparent transitions were not treated correctly, fixed
  • Stacking two instances of the filter caused a crash, fixed
  • Several minor bug fixes

New in Neat Video for Premiere 2.6 (Apr 14, 2010)

  • The first 64-bit version of Neat Video for 64-bit Premiere Pro CS5; now both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Premiere are supported
  • New image viewer modes are added
  • Many improvements in GUI
  • Performance optimizations
