post processing

[Orangebugpro]

You can use PS on an image sequence, just record the correction to an action and use batch processing to apply the same correction to the entire sequence. Not elegant, but it works.

Actually, in some cases it can make the animation look worse.  I tried this a few years ago with TG1.  Each frame of the animation was a different brightness, creating a strobe like effect.  Programs like After Effects, Combustion, and even Primiere have options for smoothing the correction throughtout the whole animation.

You are probably using the "Auto" functions, always do it manually (so that the processing doesn't vary from one frame to the next) and you will never have this problem. It's not as powerful as compositing software, but it doesn't set you back a few grand either.
