Flicker Fix Animation AdvancedEliminate Flicker in Your Rendered Animations with Precision and SpeedFlicker Fix Animation Advanced is a powerful Blender addon designed to combat common flickering issues in rendered image sequences, such as those caused by noise, lighting variations, or unstable rendering conditions. Ideal for animators, VFX artists, and render enthusiasts, this tool processes your frame sequences efficiently using multi-threaded operations, applying advanced filtering techniques to produce smooth, professional-grade animations. Say goodbye to distracting artifacts and hello to polished results!Key Features:
Advanced Filtering Options: Choose from multiple temporal filters to suit your needs:
Average (Pair): Simple averaging between two consecutive frames for basic smoothing.Weighted Average (0.7/0.3): Blends the current frame (70%) with the next (30%) for subtle corrections.Temporal Median (3 Frames): The default and most effective for flicker removal, computing the median across three frames to reduce noise while preserving details.Clamp Brightness: Limits maximum channel values to prevent overexposure highlights.Gamma Correction: Applies post-average gamma adjustment for enhanced color and brightness control.
Frame Interpolation: Automatically generate additional interpolated frames (up to 3 per pair) to increase frame rate and smoothness without re-rendering.Multi-Threaded Processing: Utilizes your CPU cores (auto-detected, customizable up to 64 threads) for blazing-fast batch processing of large image sequences.Input/Output Flexibility: Load PNG/JPG sequences from any folder and save processed frames to a specified output directory.Optional Render Compositing Integration: Toggle to incorporate Blender's compositing nodes for advanced workflows (future-proofed for deeper integration).User-Friendly Interface: Accessible via the Node Editor Sidebar under the Compositing tab, with intuitive controls for folders, filters, clamp/gamma values, and thread count.
**How It Works:
Set your input folder containing the rendered image sequence (sorted by filename).Choose an output folder for the fixed frames.Select your preferred filter, adjust parameters like clamp (0-1) or gamma (0.1-5.0), and set interpolation if needed.Hit Flicker Fix Animation (Advanced) and let the addon handle the rest—processed images are saved as PNGs with names like fixed_0001.png.**This addon is optimized for performance, handling thousands of frames in minutes on modern hardware. It's perfect for stabilizing animations from Cycles, Eevee, or external renders affected by GI noise, fireflies, or temporal inconsistencies.Compatibility:
Blender 4.5.0 and above (tested on 4.x series).Supports Windows, macOS, and Linux.No external dependencies—runs entirely within Blender's Python environment.
Why Choose This Addon?Flickering can ruin even the best renders, but manual fixes are time-consuming. Flicker Fix Animation Advanced automates the process with professional-grade tools, saving you hours while delivering superior quality. Whether you're working on short films, product visualizations, or architectural animations, this addon ensures your output is flicker-free and ready for post-production.
