Only MC Spuds for denoising and LimitedSharpenFaster (both after the color correction).

The general workflow was:

  1. Rendering lossless versions of the clip with DeSratch and DeSpot (the latter one at 3 different strengths, so that I have 4 clips in the end: Unchanged, Despot at low settings, DeSpot at medium settings, DeSpot at high settings)
  2. Color correcting the clips and - depending on the amount of artifacts produced and detail killed - choosing which one to use for a scene (and since even the low settings DeSpot erased a lot of the stars in the scene shown in shots 3 - 5, I've used the unfiltered clip here).
  3. Rendering out the color corrected version as lossless video
  4. Filtering that output with MC Spuds and LimitedSharpenFaster, plus cropping and scaling it accordingly.


Ultimately, though, I didn't use the medium and strong DeSpot clips at all, since they produced too many artifacts. They are a good source though to manually paint out bigger dirt marks and hairs.
