Thank you all for your responses and helping out.
Unfortunately I had already tried what was suggested.
fortunately I found out the answer. When I moved the project to my laptop I had no black spots?
The problem is related to my 8 core machine.
But this is a huge problem because that is my main editing setup.
Any Ideas on a hardware problem that would cause these black spots?
Thanks again for the help, and again this does not look like a filter problem.

Thank you for the info.
Here is a twist I only have the problem when I add the fast color corrector. There are no black dots on the raw footage. But I just added the filter without changing anything, it should have no effect, but I have black dots, just by loading the effect???
Iʻm using a 8core tower with a Nvidia GeForce GT 120 512MB card. No mercury playback. could this be the problem??

Thank you for the help,
Iʻm posting two screen shots. this one does show the problem.
I redid the sequence using the broadcast safe and then fast color corrector and the spots do not show up on my monitor, but they did in the blu-ray. these spots are always in motion popping in and out. The 1st time before I rendered they where about 3 times as large.
I did bring the highs below 100. in fact that seems to be my problem.
Iʻm trying to bring more detail into the couples faces, you can see the problem with darker skin and Maui sun behind them
Thank for any help Dan

I had this problem once, and if you export to your desktop it worked, not sure why, but it worked
