Re: FCP X re-rendering noise correction plug-in any time I make a change

I'll try to be more specific about what is happening.

As I said above, I open the Neat Video window, Neat Video "Learns" the noise, and I hit "Apply". At this point, nothing else can be done in FCP X until the plug-in rendering is completed.....about 75 minutes for a 5 minute clip. The calculations/rendering are not done in the background. It cranks through in real time while everything else stops.

Once this is completed, when I look at the background window, there may or may not be background rendering yet to be completed, depending on editing and color correction I did before applying the Neat Video plug-in. I have background rendering On. Putting this plug-in aside for the moment, my impression is that whether background rendering is completed or not, I can export when I am ready and this isn't an issue. That has been my experience, at least.

Back to the plug-in. After going through the 75 minute "everything stops" calculations, if I then Export, everything is fine. Even if background rendering is not 100% completed, no problem.......a few minutes and I have an H.264 QT movie, as is the normal case with my simple Projects.

However, if instead, I do anything: Add a transition, adjust Exposure, switch color correction off and then back on, etc., and I then export, the Export will take about the same time that the "everything stops" period took, about 75 minutes or so.

Since the time period is about the same as the "everything stops" period, I am assuming that the plug-in calcs are being repeated. This is an assumption, but it seems like a likely one to me. But an assumption, I have no other explanation.

I hope I did better explaining, I'm not sure: :)

The key points are:
(1) This plug-in stops everything while it is applied/calculated/rendered
(2) I can Export next, no problem (background rendering status doesn't matter)
(3) If I change anything, in any way, the Export suddenly becomes a different animal.

I am starting to think I am the only person who has ever experienced this. Man, I must be doing something really wrong. :(
