@JDN was it file #14? lmao read up a few posts

OK guys here is a cleaned up frame using AE remove grain not neat video, and sharpen, no grade... AMAZING 176 GOP1 BTW the single frame is 900k

@blues welcome. The patch is already for mac -- please look for a post by me earlier in this thread (or on the ptools 3.62 -- can't remember which) for instructions.

@PerryWilson shot 2 16 gig cards worth of stuff at a party last night. No problems with file #14. Good to to know though -- hoping to use this on a shoot in two weeks and would be great get bugs and known issues worked out by then. Will keep an eye open for it.

@proaudio4
Please let me know.
I am confused for a while now.

Although I worried about that how stress should be applied from the other day, since the new chart of Stray was announced, I can also have realized a certain amount of stress.
Furthermore, in order to exceed the hurdle which became high, the setting became severe further from the time of Pappas, but I cannot make what can clear Stray's chart test very much perfectly.
That on which I tried driftwood's 132M3GOPAQ2, one of the favorite of mine, in the way of my latest test is first attached chart now by chance.
And this which was stuck on the next is one test result in some 3GOP settings which I made recently, for example.
Of course, if this setting cannot apply an extreme stress, either, a problem does not occur.
I will think whether possibly this is also OK ?

Although almost all settings can clear the static test, what to do how far or I do not understand a motion test...

@all - The SanDisk Extreme30MB/s card made all the difference. Driftwood's176 ver3 gop1 now rocking.

The reason you're seeing more noise with the 176 gop 1 is because nothing is being blurred and obfuscated anymore by the low-data long gop codec. We're now seeing the chip much more clearly. ... and it's a very, beautiful thing.

Yes...there is more grain. But the image is also sharper and more detailed. Trust me...proper noise reduction makes an unbelievable difference.

hey xavier you thing the 176 has more grain? because I got that too

@PerryWilson
Not my experience. I shot a job of 45 clips yesterday with GOP1 and they were all perfect.

BTW all of the GOP1 patches have coding errors with file number 00014 (the 14th shot) dont know if it will replicate later on recording numbers... but every shoot numbered 14 file name is nithing but a green screen and crazy artifacts

@Stray
Thank you for your kind comment.
You understand the thing which I would like to do and I regard as right what you have said.
Although I also regard driftwood's GOP3 and GOP1 as great, I think how I can do the result in lowlight somehow to a slight degree.
I try many things on me, expecting that driftwood will make GOP1 more wonderful.

@proaudio4
Thanks a lot and sorry that my patch is halfway.
Although I am using my setting parsonally and it was not troubled once and I am satisfied with the result, I understand that my set is too going too far, and can be used in the limited situation.
If interesting stuff in the near future again can be performed and stable, I will need your help well anew then.

@proaudio4 Sorry, no, the 88M is only stable at AQ2 I'm afraid.

@proaudio4 Instinctively I'd say yes you would get better results doing NR in post on GOP1. It may just mean that you'll get less medium and low frequency noise (which sometimes results from smearing), which is obviously a good thing. But at the end of the day its really down to the method your NR tool of choice is using (and what its geared to expect or deal with). The only thing to do is try it and see. As you say the compression/bitrate is going to be very key with this issue, and unfortunately at high ISOs the noise is probably going to eat more of the bitrate with this patch than your shots detail is. But as much fun as I've had messing with in camera NR I still won't use it if I genuinely want to do proper noise removal. I'd drop the ISO and grab more lights before doing that if I was worried about losing image detail over the noise.

If I have time in the next couple of days I'll do a proper test with nukes new wavelet based denoise algorithm which can generate very informative profile curves of the noise across the image for a good comparison (as well as outputting noise only images).

Edit : Simply: Hopefully, and logically, the GOP1 will have fine detail noise comparable to the 66M AQ2, and the noise detail should be maintained better than the 66M. This may mean it is easier to clean in post (as in you'll get better results), but it might make no difference.
