Uhm... Dup won't remove that grain (I know, you probably didn't mean it since you very well know that, just used bad phrasing I guess), it'll only might make it appear more stable on a still scene. I personally much rather like to see "static" grain rather than some shit that jumps around like crazy even when nothing happens in a scene. I think that for an effect like this is worth using it...

@checkers
I'd be well interested in knowing what that was... I encountered problems with using 0.3 just a single time, and that was a pan on a static scene where it moved just by one single line (stupid mahou shoujo craziness). Using 0.2 helped, but then 0.2 is so low it barely affected the other, non-problematic areas.
