Didée - I always work with VHS captures, some of which are very noisy... I spent a couple of weeks last Christmas testing every smoother I could get my hands on and dust was definitely the best.

I typically use Pixiedust at 5 (& yup, I know what limit is) because beyond that the artefacts become very noticeable. That won't clean off all the junk, but using another smoother (spatial?) at light settings fixes most things.

I haven't seen much difference between Golddust and high values of Pixie, but I haven't looked extensively -- if you think Gold is better, then I'll run another set of tests...

Soulhunter - those clips are brilliant and show the effect much more clearly than anything I have. Is any chance you could try the 4xdust method on the first of those clips for comparison? (Or I'll do it if you like.)
