Show Detail Restored Checkbox
Turning this checkbox on lets you see the edges that are detected and used by the 'detail to
restore' slider, to help you tune this operation.
Output
The Output menu lets you choose what deflicker outputs, with options to help you troubleshoot
problem clips. Here are the available options:
Deflickered Result
The final, repaired result. This is the default setting.
Detected Flicker
This option shows you a mask that highlights the parts of the image that are being detected
as having flickering, to help you evaluate whether the correct parts of the image are being
targeted. This mask can be very subtle, however.
Magnified Flicker
This options shows you an exaggerated version of the detected flicker mask, to make it easier
to see what the deflicker plugin is doing.
Dust Buster
This plugin is also designed to eliminate dust, dirt, and other imperfections and artifacts from
clips, but it does so only with user guidance, for clips where the Automatic Dirt Removal plugin
yields unsatisfactory results. This guidance consists of moving through the clip frame-by-frame
and drawing boxes around imperfections you want to eliminate. Once you've drawn a box, the
offending imperfection is auto-magically eliminated in the most seamless way possible. This
works well for dirt and dust, but it also works for really big stains and blotches, as seen below.

The process of removing dust and dirt is similar to fixing a hot pixel, however the Dust Buster
effect is designed to repair transient bits of dust and dirt that only last for a frame or two,
whereas fixes to hot pixels remain in place for the duration of the clip.
