Premiere Pro 2023 beta issues with Neat Video

Help, I was "wowed" by all the improvements (Lumetri Color Settings, Working + Sequence Color Space options with the Source Clip Media Color Space of SLog3, etc.) that the Premiere Pro 2023 beta version had, and have pretty much exhausted my knowlendge and too many hours researching and working with Neat Video's support, to no avail. What's happening is when I try to apply the Neat Video effect for noise on a handful of really dark areas/rooms, it totally pixilates (?) and discolors the clip, and it just doesn't work right. I tried to copy and paste the Premiere Pro 2023 beta project seqence into the regular Premiere Pro 2023 sequence, and it doesn't do anything. I would hate to have to redo the entire project in the regular Premiere Pro 2023 in order to finish my project...so any help is greatly apprecaited since I've spent waaaaay too many hours trying to trouble-shoot the issue.

 

I will attach some screen shots that show the codec, color space, examples of what's happening, etc., since I know this may be helpful. I'm using a Sony a7siii and recording in SLog3, Picture Profile 8, 10 bit, 4k 60 fps, and I can normally, easily fix and adjust in the regular version of Premiere Pro, and the Neat Video noise reduction effect is awesome...but NOT in the PP 2023 beta version. I know I need to update my Mac, but just can't afford to right now, so it's a bit slower in processing these projects unfortunately...but am editing on a my 2019 MacBook Pro, Processor: 2.4 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9, and Graphics: AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB, Intel UHD,  Graphics 630 1536 MB with 64 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 Memory.

 

Thanks for the input and assistance!

      I notice you also have Warp on the clip.

       

      So ... you have perhaps the three most resource-demanding effects possible all applied to the processing of the image of that one clip, Warp, Lumetri, and Neat.

       

      My only surprise is the image is as good as it is.

       

      Remove all but Warp. Get the clip stabilized to your satisfaction, then do a full render and replace to a good "digital intermediate" codec, something like ProRes422 or so. Now Warp is done and gone.

       

      Next, I would apply Neat prior to color, as that way Lumetri is working from a "clean" slate, and not with chroma noise. And you can either do another r&r, or nest the Neat work, then apply Lumetri.

       

      But that's a freaking load on your machine, and on the computations required.

      Everyone's mileage always varies ...

      It is a load indeed! I'll try doing the suggested and see how it works...thanks for your time.
