Just got a 6D as a companion to my BMCC for when I need low light shots and wider shots. It's been a little while since I had my 5D MKIII and I am trying to remember how I had my camera set up for video. Right now I am trying to figure out if I need to have High ISO Noise Reduction set to off or another setting. I have heard from photographers that it can cause you to lose some detail, and it's best to address the noise in post. Since I will be shooting at higher ISOs I am wondering how I should set it. For those who shoot a lot of video, what has been your experience in different situations?
Also, what do you guys think about the current picture styles? I have heard a lot about Technicolor. People praise it a lot but I also hear that it has some noise problems. Would love to hear some opinons on current picture profiles.

I don't shoot video, so I can't help there.
I don't use HINR, as I shoot RAW and use lightroom, so it doesn't do anything anyway. Regardless, I like to control as much as I can in post, so I wouldn't use it anyway. The only in camera noise reduction I use is the long exposure NR, and even then, only selectively.

See below for text from the 6D manual . This paragraph sounds like HINR is added to the metadata of a RAW file and not directly applied. It also could mean that LightRoom and Adobe RAW don't use this metadata? Does anyone know if this guess is correct?
EOS 6D Manual:
If you play back a RAW image with the camera or print an image directly, the effect of high ISO speed noise reduction may look minimal. Check the noise reduction effect or print noise-reduced images with Digital Professional (provided software).
