    A Big Hello to the AFX Guru’s.

    It would be a great help to me, if you guys can recommend me any
    AFX plugin for Dust & scratch removal.

    The Footage we have to work on is
    PAL-D1 – 720 x 576 on DigiBeta Sp.

    These are the Old films transfered from 35 mm film to Digibeta.

    The film source itself had these dust & scratches

    So any kinda sugesstions would be highly obliged & appreciated.

    Each film has around 225 thousand Frames 🙂

    Thanx in Advance

    Good Luck
    Raj

    If you have money to spend then red giant software make a plugin specifically for this, and there’s a demo at their site:

    If not then you could try using the clone tool, but the sheer time required means that it would probably only be worth it for extremely obtrusive defects.. You could also try using a noise-removal plug-in, such as the grain surgery plug-ins (which are included in AE 6.5pro) though this will probably require you to sacrifice sharpness.
