Free Video Denoiser

Tom Dickerson:
UPDATE:

After continued experiments, I sat my wife down to look at 3 samples of footage. I first played the Neat Video sample, then the NewBlue FX, then Guy Bruners method (read previous post).

She said go back to the first one, so I replayed it. She confirmed my opinion that Neat Video was substantially better than the others....

The wedding I recently shot had lots of issues with lighting. Although I believe the video is acceptable, I am trying to use this as a worst case scenario - but yet achieve producing a good video.  It's amazing what Neat Video did to one of the worst clips...as well as a scene with just a little grain. It really cleaned it up.

I'll be placing my order for Neat Video in the next day or two.

Update to update:

I discovered that the NewBlue FX degrainer did strange things around the edges of the video frame. If someones hair was close, it made it look like the hair was standing up. I had to apply a 2% zoom to fix it.

I did not see the same issue with the Neat Video version.

Robert M WRight:
The best (truly) free denoiser I know of, and just plain one of the best, is MSU's for VirtualDub. You can download it here:

It's free for personal use. No watermarks, or any of that sort of thing. I suggest not using the GPU acceleration option though. It's fast, but can cause artifacts. Using the CPU only is slower, but the results are excellent.

Perhaps you'd check that, Robert? Forbidden access...

If you're interested granpa, try here http://compression.ru/video/denoising/index_en.html. Personally, I prefer this http://neuron2.net/hiq/smoothhiq.html
