Block-match against the previous rendered frame so old macroblocks carry through animation motion.

How it works

Temporal Data Mosh is the animation-only datamosh effect.

It renders frames in order and treats the previous rendered output as the
decoded reference frame. Each current macroblock is block-matched against that
reference, then reconstructed from the old frame with optional residual leak,
same-position trail, and I-frame refresh blocks. The first frame, still renders,
and scrub renders behave like a reset because no previous reference frame is
available yet.

Use Datamosh > Data Mosh for the older single-frame synthetic macroblock melt.
Use Temporal > Temporal Data Mosh when video or animation motion should drive
real previous-frame block carry.

Location

Temporal / Frame-to-frame / Frame Mosh

Controls

Choose Video mode. This effect uses previous frames, so play forward to inspect it.

Actions

Space plays or pauses. Use the timeline to choose a time.
