I have a video scene that is priceless and un-re-shootable.
However, much to my dismay, when I watched it on my TV, I realized that there was a speck of dust or something on my lens while shooting. So it remains static thru out each frame.
Is there some kind of way I can edit each and every frame?
I could take each picture of the frame perhaps and edit this blotch out?
It would be worth the headache.
I have Pinnacle Studios 9 plus. I have Nero software too. But no idea how to even approach this dilemma.
I beg of you to advise.
Take care.

VirtualDub will convert a video to billions of separate bitmap files - 1 for each frame and put them back together again later.
What do you want to do with the speck ?
There is a Vdub filter called Delogo which will blend an area to the surrounding colors all in 1 operation. Editing billions of frames is
really not practical. -

Time to re-do the AVATAR me thinks!
As for the problem at hand the suggestion by FOO is probably best ... as FOO said there is a Logo Filter for VirtualDub as well as one for AviSynth.
However the Logo Filter is not the only one you should try.
For instance I once used an AviSynth filter called DeSpot that worked wonders on a VHS video capture that had a lot of static (poor cable TV reception). Another AviSynth filter that might work is called UnDot.
You can find these two filters (and many more) at the following website ---> CLICK HERE
Here is the AviSynth website URL ---> http://www.avisynth.org/

Thanks so much, guys. I will check out yallz suggestions.
You guys simply rule and I really appreciate the lightning fast feedback.
I'm stoked. Can't wait to try something at least.
I just want to blend the dot in.
It was a spur of the moment vid scene at a skateboard contest last night.
A dude launched over two city trashcans stacked vertically. It was huge. I just happened to be there at the right time and got it, but that lousy little annoying 'UFO' flying above him (where I had got a speck on my fisheye lens).
I thought about applying an old cinema filter to sorta mask it, but I'm looking into yalls suggestions first.
Take care. -
off topic just this once.
Greetings Fulci.
No I aint dead - just smell that way.
I been real busy and have lots of hobbies so I just lurk mostly.
