| Hi ! Perhaps someone can recommend the best filter for removing the white dots that show up in some old 1930's and 1940's movies. There's never too many, just one or two every ten frames or so. But it'd be just great if there was a filter that would catch them ! ~~~ June p.s. - I suppose if I was really talented I'd learn to paint them out with Adobe Premiere |

| AFAIK there is no filter to do this. I've never used Premiere, but if you're crazy enough to want to repaint the frames by hand, I highly recommend Ulead Video Paint; it has a wonderful "clone" tool. I've used it for many projects, but repainting this stuff by hand is so time consuming that I eventually gave up on it. |

There's http://www.geocities.com/gc_timsara/vdub.html, never used it but the description sounds like it targets white (as well as black) dots. |

Thanks anyway ! I have been called 'crazy' a few times in my past though, but as you say, I wouldn't want to do a frame-by-frame fix-up of an old movie, I'll leave that job up to the Library of Congress  |
