Opening info panel of this stock film company looks pretty good for being scratched up. What type of software does this?

Normally I am not into adding scratches and dust, trying to fake it. I try to do the opposite with old films if I could. But I have lots of old films with missing titles.

I bought some vintage 3D title sets that are original to the period, now just need to add some dust and scratches and defocus a bit to lower resolution. I hope it helps blend the titles in so they don't stand out so much. They may really need a lot of defocusing. Some of these old films looks like 3rd or 4th generation dupes.

Some of the old title sets look to be made out of ceramic or some such thing. Heavy rock material. Like plaster, just harder. I got lots of old books on titling. When I get them scanned I will post here.
