Hi all,
I'm pretty much brand new to processing analog video, so I would like to get an idea of what you guys do with your raw captures to get them to the final product you share with family.
I plan to deinterlace with QTGMC and Bob to get it to 60fps, I have tested this before and it is wonderful. The other thing I have become more aware of though is video noise. How should that be handled? I have used Neat Video to clean up digital HD video when recorded in dark environments, but it was very glitchy and unreliable in my experience. Amazing when it worked but more often it would bug out and crash Premiere or just simply stop filtering the video after about a minute worth of video was processed.
Given my experience with Neat and the fact that I will already be using Hybrid for deinterlacing, I would like to just do the denoising in Hybrid as well. Any tips for this? What to look out for, when to use which tool? Some general, good solid settings?
And do I have to do multiple runs of processing, or can I do the deinterlace, denoising, and whatever else all in the same run without taking some hit on quality? I read somewhere that denoising before deinterlacing wasn't good.
I have attached some brief lossless (sorry for the huge filesize) clips as examples of some of the home videos, these ones I'm working on now are 8mm till I can get my SVHS VCR working again and capture my VHS tapes. Brief descriptions:
071 is of a stage play, so it's pretty dark in there and shaky motion.
073 is in a dark bedroom, very noisy of course.
077 is outside during the day but very shaky.

Examples 73 and 77 are probably about as extreme as it gets in terms of noise and motion of what I'll be processing, and 71 is a middle ground.
Anyway, just wanted to throw this out there and get some opinions, thoughts, and tips for processing and what kind of settings I should go with. I don't want to go too crazy down the rabbit hole even more than I already have, but I of course would want to deinterlace and try to denoise/degrain.
tl;dr: What do y'all do for processing 8mm captures, or tape captures in general?
