YUV Based denoisers

[jriker1]

I have been using AVISynth to do some post capture cleanup of my VHS captures. That is being done in YUY2 4:2:2 colorspace. I believe my process thru AVISynth keeps it that way.

One problem I have is I'm moving the content to Premiere Pro CC and using NeatVideo for cleanup. I notice a visual change in the coloring on final export from Premiere, most likely due to the colorspace changes happening.

I know NeatVideo is an excellent denoiser, however are there any comparable that can run in AVISynth and will work in my footages native colorspace?

Also with NeatVideo it has a nice interface for identifying a noise profile. How do the AVISynth denoisers "figure it out"?

Thanks.

Personally I advice to use motion compensation-based temporal denoising of any sort for the highest quality. The catch is that this method entirely depends on MC precision, which in turn is affected by noise.
Also, it won't help if noise is introduced by compression. In that case I would use frequency domain denoisers like DFTTest.
