  GrainPlus 2
From the CreativEaseGrain Effects Pack

Standard noise plug-ins are all similar -- not very customizable and with only limited usefulness for video. At the other end of the spectrum are third-party film-grain plug-ins which tend to be hard-to-learn, single-purpose and relatively expensive. GrainPlus™ is an affordable, versatile, easy-to-use alternative to both. It gives you the power to:

Add Filmic Grain. Apply subtle luminance-based grain to emulate contemporary film. Very different than just lightly applying noise, as in standard effects. Spice Synergize. Use Pixelan 'spices' to easily mask the grain/noise to only where you want it, such as specific words in titles.
Customize The Look. Quickly form and compare hundreds of creative variations of grain/noise -- great for video as well as titles/logos/graphics. Mutate Bigger. Turn noise into amorphous objects wherever desired. Independently adjust strength, height, width, softness, and color.
Maintain Brightness. Apply grain/noise without changing the image's brightness (unlike usual noise effects) to keep your clip sequence consistent. Change Randomly. Experiment with random luminance/hue changes and other abstract time-based effects. Then blend it with your source clip.
Streak & Scratch. Add film scratches, streaks, single-color noise tints, and other creative noise variations -- all easily customizable. Age Your Footage. Scratch and decay your footage to emulate old film looks.
Buzz & Flash. Create visual buzzing, roving lights/ flashes, and dynamic weaving. Work in different color spaces to further expand the range of effects.

Since virtually all GrainPlus controls are bezier keyframable, you can smoothly vary individual aspects of the effect during your clip. With the powerful Mixer control, you can also use a clip's luminance to define the effect areas, a very easy way to add grain to light or dark regions, for example.
