In fact the noise in this image is SO bad, that it gets in the way of the audience appreciating your incredible night-time composition and story-telling. The noise is everywhere, but is especially visible in the sky it looks like excessive grain. You can see an example of this in the screen shot above. Noise is defined as grain or artifacts which mess up an otherwise very interesting shot.
(Strange, but true.) What this means is that if you are using low-end cameras that are optimized for shooting in daylight, your night images are going to look very noisy. One of the main differences between shooting during the day and shooting at night is that there is a significant decrease in the amount of available light at night. During the day, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but at night… well, things are different. Today is a time where everyone wants to shoot using natural light, or, put another way, not one wants to lug lights around anymore. NOTE: I discovered this filter while researching my recent webinar: If you need to use CUDA with Neat Video in MacOS, you can do that using Neat Video 5.3 (available in your account).Posted on by Larry Product Review: Neat Video Reduce Noise Filter.Unfortunately this means that Neat Video 5.4 plug-ins will be unable to use CUDA in any version of MacOS.In order to evolve Neat Video further, we had to switch to newer macOS development tools, which are no longer compatible with the NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit. Previous versions of Neat Video could still use CUDA in MacOS 10.13 and earlier.The new versions of MacOS starting from 10.14 are no longer compatible with the NVIDIA CUDA driver required to run CUDA-enabled applications and plug-ins.Added support for new AMD GPUs: Radeon Pro W5700 / W5500 / W5500X.Optimization of several GUI elements for MacOS Big Sur.If you need to use the plug-in with an older version of macOS (10.9.5 - 10.12), you can do that using Neat Video 5.3 (available in your account).

The minimum supported version of MacOS is now 10.13.6.
