Tips on making this multicam process more efficient at DVinfo.net

Okay, so this is my workflow for multicam wedding operation. I shoot with 4 dslr's, and 1 zoom miced to the officiant. I take PluralEyes and sync all 4 cams to that 1 audio source, which by the way PluralEyes ROCKS!!!! So the problem is, I use NeatVideo to clean up the noise, which is always the case for dark indoor weddings. Is there a more efficient workflow of using Neatvideo in this type of setup? Right now, after I edit, let's say the ceremony, using the multicam window, I'm left with a timeline with a hundred different cuts. Which mean, I Have to apply the the NeatVideo plugin on each individual cut on the timeline. I'm using Adobe cs5.5 by the way.

Are you using the same settings for NeatVideo on each clip, or do you have to adjust it each time? If you're using the same settings on each clip, make an effect preset for with the settings you want for NeatVideo, select all your clips in the timeline, and drag the preset to one of the selected clips. You could also apply NeatVideo to the first clip, copy that clip, select all the subsequent clips in the timeline, and then choose Edit>Paste Attributes.

Apply the effect to each clip in the timeline prior to multicam, ajust as needed. De-select the fx button, edit as normal and when ready to export select the fx button.
