Red Giant releases new film/video restoration tools - Film Fix 1.0 

Film Fix v1.0

Film Fix is designed for documentary filmmakers and post production studios that need film and video restoration tools. Using Film Fix, After Effects users can restore tears, remove dust and dirt particles, and stabilize footage originated on film and video resolution material transferred from film. The processing is nearly automatic and provides high-quality output.
FAME (Fast Accurate Motion Estimation)%u2014processes pixel-accurate image data at different scales similar to the way the human eye views the world.
Powerful, intelligent algorithms allow it to identify problems such as dust, dirt, and tearing despite complex motion in the footage.
Uses
Repair seams with the only automated tear-repair tool on the market.
Stabilize footage with a software-based 2D translation that is near real-time.
Automatically eliminate severe non-linear inter-frame brightness fluctuations.
Remove dust and sparkle defects using motion detection information.
Remove hair on single frames using motion detection information.


OK, so for the doc folks, this is especially cool. Tools to do this have been very expensive in the past. Red Giant are the guys that make Magic Bullet, and they know a thing or nine about pixels.

Requires AE 6.0 or later, supports AE 7.
