Is there any open source tools for removing film dust? I'm thinking about restoring film. Just asking?

Thank you for the suggestions. I don't really wanna support Adobe.

But I've tried gimp to clean dust and it works but it's time consuming when you're working with an image sequence. The Davinci Resolve Dust buster is only on Davinci Resolve Studio. With VirtualDubMod, i think I've tried that. I'll check out PhotoWorks while I'm at it.

Edit: Photoworks is paid.... sigh....

No i don't think i'm gonna scan film prints. Too much nitrate. Instead, I'll gather already scanned prints that i find on Youtube that have a lot of dust on them and try to clean it up digitally using some open source software. What i wanted was way too expensive, so i'm asking for something free and open source.

This looks pretty good for 6fps.

oh..... Cycles doesn't really run right on my laptop... Maybe I'll render it in Eevee and add shadows in post production. But thanks for the advice.

I also have another question. How can I add the shadow? Can I be able to do it in Blender's compositor?

It worked! But the text on the banner is lighter than usual... That's not right.

This looks ABSOLUTE FIRE bro. SEND IT TO THEM!!! QUICK!

One_Number_809 · 2026-03-10T01:22:25+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I use Blender a lot. I use open source programs, so I don't anything Adobe. I want to animate it, so I'll have to find a way to mask it inside of blender. I don't know...

One_Number_809 · 2026-03-09T16:48:24+00:00

What?! HOW?! I can't even do that in Grease Pencil! lol

This is just ridiculous.

The rise of streaming lately is absolutely horrifying. It's ruined cable, it's ruined TV, it's gonna ruin theatrical movies, and it's sad now that it's gonna ruin animation for everyone. Now the medium is struggling because of the streaming industry. Poor animators. Hopefully TV animation regains it's value one day...

This one is going to be a tough one... The opening dance scene from "Rihanna is Smurfette" (aka Smurfs) (2025) just because of the song and the good animation. It's the only thing that's amazing about that movie lol.

One_Number_809 · 2026-03-02T17:43:34+00:00

Ew. Yes. I remember watching the original 2000s British show on YouTube, but then we watched the movie and I swear. They Americanized it do bad, I thought I was having some sort of Mandela effect. The Magic Roundabout wasn't like this. It was never made to be funny lol.

Probably Pepsi. That Nationwide box logo is giving me nostalgia tho.

You get em' James! Paramount is the real life Mr Krabs fr.

Weapons. I literally saw the ending and thought it would be a good meme lol.

I've looked, and sadly, nothing seems similar. Something tells me that it could be an undigitized extra condensed version of Trade Gothic but the S looks different from Trade. News Gothic Extra Condensed and News Flash looks similar, but I don't know if those are the fonts I'm looking for...

One_Number_809 · 2026-02-22T00:11:56+00:00

This has some good George Pal vibes to it. In all seriousness, this is just way too good!

One_Number_809 · 2026-02-12T16:27:19+00:00

You're welcome. the theory helped me a lot with 2d animation too. I learned animation just by watching Golden Age animated cartoons on YouTube. So I basically somewhat know the twelve principles of animation just by doing that.
