I have a video I'm working on in Final Cut Pro 4. There is some video noise (static) that we are trying to get rid of or at least minimize.
The video (imported from a DV camcorder) is a live recording of my band recorded fairly close to the stage so I'm guessing the noise came from the sound pressure.
Any tips would be great!

Was the event in a bar or something where there was low light? More than likely the noise you are seeing is the electronic gain on the camera trying to compensate for the low light situation. If that is the case the best you can try to do is adjusting some blacks and chroma levels and hope they fade into the background. Noise from video gain is very hard to deal with

You can use the «artistic view» trump card. When video is low llight and grainy, just make it high contrast grainy black & white and pretend it was meant to look like that.

It was. We were adjusting the levels to try and brighten it up some and that did help with the noise some. I'll keep trying that and see what we can do. Thanks!
We could do the artsy thing but the video is really just for us. Serves two purposes....
1.) Just for us to see how we did
2.) To give my one guitar player and I some FCP work to get better with it.
As a side note to it, could it be possible that some of the video noise was due to sound pressure?

You might get noise when you boost the video gain on the camera (the +6, 12 or 18db thing) That's hard to get rid of. You might get noise from electrical interference (Bad electricity, interference from neon or stuff like that) But it's improbable to get noise from sound pressure unless it's at a level to detroy your earing and every window in the room.

Ok, good to know one thing is ruled out then. 
Never thought of the power source playing into it although I should have. Bars and the sort usually don't have the cleanest power running through the outlets which has provided quite a good market for power conditioners to musicians.
Maybe we'll try plugging the camera into one next time to see if that helps.
