    Hi,
    Normally I’d use AE/Nuke etc to clean film dirt.

    I have a 90 min project with a lot of film dirt and we’re going to run into a huge time crunch issue, once color correction is done.

    Does anyone have a suggestion for a plugin for FCP that makes dust busting as easy and simple as AEs cloning?

    Garbage mattes in FCP aren’t an option because of the lack of control and time issues.

    Thanks
    Stuart

    Photoshop rocks for dustbusting. CS2 and later support video files. you can use all of the painting, cloning and healing brushes, and you can clone from one frame to another. When you’re done, you render out the video to the same codec that you started with.

    Thanks, I’m looking for a plugin for FCP though. AE or Nuke is my preferred method, but the extra render time will kill us.

    Garbage mattes in FCP aren’t an option, they’re too clumsy and take too long.

    The foundry “furnacore” plugin has dirt removal/dust busting in its arsenal
    costs $ 500 node locked.

    I tried a fully functional demo of it though on 720P uncompressed 10-bit
    sequence that was about 45 minutes long and it kept crashing for some reason.

    have not purchased it yet.

    Thanks, I’ll give that a shot
