I noticed the Dust and Scratches effect in Premiere Pro is now gone - version 25. Is there another way to remove a sun spot from a video clip? Also, why remove the effect? It was great for removing spots in a video.

This is so typical of adobe. They decided that it's best for me if GPU accel is always in play. Why can't I choose to use a slow tool. I just needed this and see it's gone. Will go try Resolve.

It's a pain to lose something you use, but I see their point. Ancient code, and the effects deleted have been used by under 1% of the users. No priority to update them at that point, and after the code hits a certain age, needs to be gone.

It would be good if there was a useful replacement in Premiere more capable than simply blurring things. Ae has some tools.

As someone who uses Resolve daily ... and teaches it ... it has it's own holes too. None of these apps are perfect, but whatever gets the job out the door on time is fine.

Before I get a decent editor capable of removing scratches and stuff like I get all the time underwater, is there a way to get 2023 and ride of the 2025 version since its worthels to me without this feature?

They have explained that actaully many times.

Those "obsolete" effects did not use GPU acceleration, and quite often could interfere with GPU acceleration on other effects when used.

They were all used by less than 1% of the user base, so the utilization of them was very, very low. Ergo, the spending of time to recreate them with totally new code was simply never going to be a priority.

And yes, a couple of them were ones I used routinely, so I lost my fav 'noise & grain' effects. Ah well.

I do understand prioritization practices, having had to do that in my own business for 40 years. I often had to make decisions I didn't like ... but were necessary for my business, due to the data at hand. Never my favorite task.

As I said, no resolution here just reason why it was deleted. They may have no reason to include, but it's always best to have an alternative that will accomplish the same task without a third party addition.

If something is used by so few users, why should they put effort into building it, when there are numerous other sources available for those few users that want/need it.

I work for/with/teach pro colorists, mostly based in Resolve and/or Baselight. Those two apps have tons of effects for color/image mod/image cleanup in them.

Yet I think every colorist I know/of, and that's a lot of colorists! ... has at least one major suite of effects loaded ... typically Boris, but often both everything by Boris and MaxonRedGiant plus some Digital Anarchy and others.

I "only" have the full Maxon/Redgiant Universe. And Autokroma Studio for my BRAW media, Plumepack, a couple things from "Knightsoftheeditingtable", several plugins from aescripts.com.

Envato and a couple other such services.

It's ... Life. Reality. And many extra tools to use when needed. It's how these things are done.
