Neat Video has released version 6.0.5 of its well-known noise reduction plugin, aiming to further polish workflows in post-production, VFX, and editing. While this is a maintenance update, it brings notable improvements across several areas.

GPU Management: Now With Extra Brainpower

The GPU Management system inside Neat Video has been fine-tuned. Specifically, Neat Video 6.0.5 improves the matching of multiple GPUs when using a mixed set of graphics cards. In plain English: if your setup looks like a hardware flea market, Neat Video now juggles your GPUs with a little more grace. No new devices added or dropped—just better teamwork among the existing hardware.

Color Channel Corrections: Less Magenta, More Reality

Neat Video 6.0.5 fixes an issue where subtle color channel biases could sneak into the denoised output. Translation: if your highlights were starting to look suspiciously pink or green, the update promises a more faithful reproduction of colors after noise reduction. So, goodbye uninvited magenta, hello proper white!

Pricing and Availability

Neat Video is available directly through ABSoft. Pricing depends on the specific platform and plugin host you choose (After Effects, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, etc.), so check the official shop for details.

Production Readiness: Proceed With the Usual Caution

While Neat Video 6.0.5 brings welcome improvements, any plugin updates—especially those related to GPU management and color processing—should be thoroughly tested within your pipeline before being deployed into live projects. Because nothing says “unplanned overtime” like a sneaky update glitch halfway through a client delivery.
