the main thing that I need and that is removing spots and dirt.

This is rather difficult to automate. Even programs like PFClean mess up... a lot. I would know, as I've spent many, many hours dirt cleaning with PFClean.

With that being said, the best Avisynth plugin for this is the old RemoveDirt plugin: http://avisynth.org.ru/docs/english/externalfilters/removedirt.htm

If you want to do it right, then you'll have to do it shot-by-shot, using show=1 to make sure that it didn't clean a block it shouldn't have.

I suggest studying the hell out of the documentation. You really need to get a good sense for how the algorithm works in order to choose the right values.

...it doesn't really matter, if it mistakenly erases other details, like stars and stuff like that, since I would then only utilize the cleaned up version for manual cleanup in After Effects.
