If it is a locked down tripod shot, you can clone out the dust in After Effects.
Unless someone or something moves in front of the dust then you'll have a problem.
If it's a pan, tilt or other movement, you could track the movement in After Effects and clone it but unless this is something that is a real high value clip, its just not worth the time. Just delete and move on.
Also, remember to clean your sensor.
Sorry, you're asking for a pretty complicated thing for a program to do, there aren't any cheap programs that can do it that I know of.

thanks! well...try to clean sensor then. i only do very basic footage (and until now only 3 clips :)...camera on a tripod, and about 20-30 s..iam not going to spend a lot of money in software, it goes from camera to shutterstock...but last one i noticed a dust spot. i thought it was easier since the camera doesn´t move. |

Maybe you could use a video editor like Cyberlink Power Director to create a small blur that will take care of it, since the camera is stationary.
I've found Power Director to be a good video Editor for much less then Adobe Premier. Sometimes they run good sales or you might find a coupon for it on the net somewhere.
I do mostly stock too, but I use Power Director all the time to enhance my videos. Rarely do I go from camera to stock. I've found it gives me more freedom when I'm videoing, knowing I can cut from front and back and lighten dark scenes, raise contrast, speed or slow a video, crop, level, etc.
Not a lot, since buyer usually wants to customize, but enough to make the video more presentable for sale. |

It's a bit of a learning curve. You tube has some good how to videos on PD though...so give it a shot! |

Also, there are some very helpful people at the Cyberlink Forum when you get stuck on things. Just type Cyberlink Forum into Google and you'll find it pretty quick. |

PD was the first Program I used. I switched to MAC and had to learn FinalCut. almost killed me. I asked them why not a mac version and they don't have an answer. |

They should have a Mac version, since they are missing out on a lot of sales I believe. But they didn't ask me. ;-(
I do like the program though, for what I do. |
