Where is Noise Reduction?

Alex_J

In version 6.31 a very cool feature has been released: Noise Reduction. But now (version 7.00) it seems to be gone. Can someone give me an upate when Noise Reduction will be available again?

Under AUDIO EFFECTS there's a noise removal icon. Is that what you have in mind?

Hi thanks for the reply. No. It is not an audio effect, but video effect. See: https://www.nchsoftware.com/videopad/versions.html (version 6.31). I have used it and worked very well. Smoothens the footage amazingly good!. So, hope that it will be back soon.

You checked out the Virtual Dub denoise filter? One source ... https://www.freewarefiles.com/VirtualDub-MSU-Denoising-Filter-Noise-Removal_program_18779.html

VP allegedly supports these plugins.

Are you sure that you manage to use vdf plugins ?.

As I reported I can't use vdf plugins from all 6.xx - 7.xx versions
Which version do you use ?

Concerning Noise Reduction , I assume that is was removed due to very very low proccess time .
I downgraded 6.31 only to test it but it was terribly slow.

File a request and/or bug report. Click at the top-right of the VP interface.

Noise reduction is available in version 7.22 in the effects filter section....

It seems to work OK I de-noised a clip exported with the Old film effect (minus shake) as a test. As mentioned it was very slow. Flicker was eliminated by adding the Auto level effect.

Here is an frame from an exported video BEFORE Noise reduction

Here is an image of a similar frame from the same video exported AFTER Noise reduction...

Slightly soft but markedly better.
