Is there a "super unhelpful" button? 'Cause that's what this is. Thanks for nothing!

Dust and Scratches in Premiere is not an additive style effect. It's a noise or grain REDUCTION algorithm. I'd wager it works much like the noise reduction filter in photoshop. For those using this for adding noise, here's your woops moment. This is meant to FIX the noise and scratches problem, not create one.
For this effect use the Noise filters in the effects list. These actually add noise. There's also a film grain filter now. You can use it in premiere, but usually I prefer After effects, as I can pre-render a comp using render farming, and then see the results immediately in premiere.
Put your sequence in After effects (check the documentation for how), then create a comp from the sequence, and add your filter effects. You might have to do some reading on that one too. Once you finish, you can set up a render queue, locate it to a drive, create the job, and go to each machine to render it out. As long as your effects are all loaded on each machine (some third party plugs require more licensing for this), you can have them render out together, then use your folder of images to create a compressed proxy in premiere. Anytime you make changes to the folder of images, just create a new proxy. For 1hour of 1080 video, two machines took about 4 hours to create full jpeg images, and then about 10s to create a proxy. Afterward, I just worked with the proxy, but when it came time to render, I was able to attach the higher quality images, and render out the compressed final a lot faster.
Whenever I start a composition, I balance and correct using after effects first. Then I use an H264 proxy in Premiere to cut. It's faster that way, and when I finish I reattach the main files, and render out. For most effects I use after effects, attach the full again, then create a new proxy. I can see the effect in after effects in full quality, then I drop it out to premiere in a proxy to preview the compressed quality, and I know what I'm getting. It's as simple as that. If the effect is small enough, there's no need for AE--simple transitions, split screens, or custom views are easy in premiere, and in H.264 are fast enough. For fine detail, There's no sub for the capability of AE.
