Wowsers Ken! A nice method - must have had many many layers in the timeline and lotsa effects - slow renders... and I hope he had lots of memory! That film looked beautiful. - Flick ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com

Davinci Resolve has semi automated dust removal (only works with DPX frames) and I think it works in the free version. You draw a circle around the dirt particle and Resolve compares a set if previous and upcomming frames to paint it out. Works very well, you can potentially use resolve to

A circle matte no larger than the size of the dust particle was made, then a piece of the frame just before or after the dust spot--in its exact position--was captured then laid over the offending piece of dust. That's it! Worked like a charm. Perhaps David T can weigh in on his method?

A nice method - must have had many many layers in the timeline and lotsa effects - slow renders... and I hope he had lots of memory! Just two layers, and not that many effects. Just multiple iterations of the garbage matte on those frames with more than one nasty dust spot. There was a

Dear frameworkers, I have another question. This one is specific to de-dusting scanned film footage (e.g. S-8mm) in a digital workflow (e.g. final cut pro). Sometimes dust, hair and scratches are detrimental to the visual impression one tries to achieve. I have tried in the past to remove hair

Might be time to try Premiere CS6. I assume the color space matching is easier in Premiere as you can dynamically link between the two progs - Photoshop and Premiere. If you take a freeze frame (shift-E in either source or program monitor), re-import it (annoying) and then right-click, Edit

It is absolutely necessary to have full control over color spaces and codecs if you wish to move digital imagees back and forth between applications. What is the format/codec of the source video? What is the format/codec of the FCP editing timeline? To what format/codec are you exporting the
