When we made Bait 3D we had a lot of underwater shots on an SI2K that was underexposed and basically unusable. I came up with a Nuke tree which had two stages of Neat video
NEAT -> RGB-YUV -> Blur UV -> YUV-RGB -> NEAT and a final stage where I keyed some odd red pixels and made them monochrome then tinted them blue.
It literally resurrected the shots and saved the day.
There's barely a job where I don't use it for at least one shot during the grade.

The only way to explain how they can do that is . . . .
SORCERY!
I wish I'd used that on my last documentary.Live and learn!

NEAT VIDEO.
Its like magic for this kind of thing, look at the website for reference - yes it is that good. When Resolve added OFX support it was the first plugin I bought as I've been bouncing shots through Nuke for years to rescue it.

Neat video 4 is GPU accerated too and is way faster than before.
AVX version is $99
Resolve version is $249
My only complaint is they don't have a flame version but now its in Resolve its just part of my grading process.
I don't have any relationship with Neat other than being a massively satisfied long time customer.

BCC has a flicker fix IIRC. It has worked on a few things for me. I had a real tough one that I couldn't get it to work but Dirk at BCC actually sent my test footage to the person who wrote the plugin and he gave it a stab. That was pretty impressive. Ultimately it couldn't fix that shot but a top notch flame artist was able to manually dial in our crawling saturation problem that was supposedly caused by light phasing.

Hey L2,
We have a bunch of footage that was shot under fluorescent lighting and it's got the dreaded floating hum bar all through. I know there used to be a plugin from 3 Prong to fix this, but that company is long gone.
Anyone know of a plugin or process that will fix this now?
Thanks,
Steve Pomerantz
