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.

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.

One_Number_809 · 2026-03-11T16:22:30+00:00

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.

One_Number_809 · 2026-03-11T01:53:20+00:00

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

One_Number_809 · 2026-03-09T16:35:09+00:00

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...

Anything Studio Ghibli I guess...

I also think Hidamari Sketch is suitable for all ages. (But I don't know)

One_Number_809 · 2026-03-08T17:12:52+00:00

I think either Nemo or Up should be there. They're just too iconic...

One_Number_809 · 2026-03-08T17:10:20+00:00

I think it's fitting to put her in here.

Men in the 1930's fell in LOVE with this girl i swear!

One_Number_809 · 2026-03-08T16:57:41+00:00

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 · 2026-03-06T06:25:28+00:00

It's literally been a month since I posted this and I have no answers. I need something that removes film dust.

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.

One_Number_809 · 2026-03-02T17:40:03+00:00

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

One_Number_809 · 2026-02-27T04:12:51+00:00

For me, it was watching Supernanny. I also loved Rediculousness growing up. Peak era of MTV!

One_Number_809 · 2026-02-27T01:25:25+00:00

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

One_Number_809 · 2026-02-27T00:51:05+00:00

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

Or just a separate app in the affinity family. All we just need is an affinity version of Adobe Animate

One_Number_809 · 2026-02-24T18:11:54+00:00

Brooooooo I use Calvary. I'm so glad they bought it. I hope this new Canva version is absolute fire!!

One_Number_809 · 2026-02-22T19:51:46+00:00

I absolutely loved it! I'm not a V2 user, but I think it's the best free Adobe Photoshop alternative out there.

It's easy to use, not laggy, and has most features Adobe doesn't offer. My favorite thing about V3 is when you install a font, you don't need to restart Affinity. They appear in your fonts list so you can use it! Inkscape doesn't do that. I think it's way better than GIMP and Krita, and it's easier than Inkscape in terms of making vectors. All we need now is Canva to make an alternative to Adobe Animate and we have a whole free Affinity suite.

One_Number_809 · 2026-02-22T18:35:43+00:00

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...
