The new Dust OFX plugin, compatible with for DaVinci Resolve, uses neural networks to automatically remove dust and small particles from video footage. Retouch4me says that the new software, “designed for commercial and stock videographers, product filmmakers, unboxing content creators, and tech reviewers who spend hours manually removing dust and artifacts from their shots”, performs this task “automatically with a single click, saving time and effort.”
Dust is one of the most common issues when shooting high-resolution commercial video. Even the smallest specks are visible on dark clothing, and macro product shots can reveal every tiny particle.
The Dust OFX neural network was trained from scratch on professionally retouched photos. Thousands of calculations and experiments have achieved high-end retouching quality while preserving surface textures. Unlike built-in video editor tools that require manual corrections, Dust OFX processes footage fully automatically —detecting particles, tracking them across frames, and removing them without blurring surrounding areas, with no manual touch-ups needed.
The plugin supports video up to 4K resolution and is compatible with DaVinci Resolve 18 and later on Windows and macOS. It also works in other video editors that support OFX plugins. Dust OFX is particularly effective for macro and close-up shots and complements other Retouch4me products, ensuring flawless video quality.
“After releasing our photo dust removal plugin, Retouch4me Dust, many videographers requested a similar solution for video, especially for macro product shots,” said Oleg Sharonov, founder of Retouch4me. “Dust OFX meets this demand and also excels at removing dust and small particles from dark clothing.”
