Rendering lens effects in animation sequence

How do I render my lens effects into an animation? I can see them in the frame buffer, but not when I render a sequence. Thx!

are they perhaps in a separate channel?

Not sure, I’m not seeing that.

Dear @terence_ziegler , hello.

As I wrote you in the ticket ( # 459436), Lens Effects should be saved in the .exr, could be saved in additional .exr (Glare) and when using Chromatic abberation all effects are saved in effectsResult pass.

I tested with our latest nightly builds (now available as Experimental in our Download portal) a test animation, as you described.
If you are still not achieving the wanted result, share the scene via the opened ticket, as requested.

Additional way is to add Lens Effects with Denoiser Tool.
Lens Effects could be saved as .vlplfx file and loaded in Denoiser Tool to apply the needed effects to the animation frames.
Please check the docs.

Best,
