Hi -
Was wondering if you could generate animation frames in Mandelbulber by changing the color speed / position, without having to re-render the entire frame.
Mandelbulber will let you change color position and color speed, and hit "apply changes" to see how these new values look in an existing render, without having to re-render the entire fractal.

Is there a way in Mandelbulber to animate this, without redoing the whole render each time?

If there's not something in the standard Mandelbulber UI, is there some hackish command-line / scripting way to do it, like generating a bunch of keyframe files with just the color settings changed?

In Mandelbulber 1.12 , open timeline, RECORD first keyframe, change colour slider, record next keyframe by  INSERT AFTER , and so on.

In Mandelbulber 1.12 you don’t have to render before recording keyframes. Similarly if you navigate and Mandelbulber automatically begins rendering, you can record the new keyframe straightaway before the image completes rendering.  For animation I often add new  keyframes when the image has only rendered far enough to tell that it is going to be OK, and I move on to the next.

However sometimes I strike a glitch where I get the previous keyframe repeated in the timeline so i just delete it and click on INSERT AFTER again and the latest keyframe appears.

Alternatively you could open a keyframe file in a text reader and change the colour parameters there and save as the next consecutive keyframe file, but that would be more work.

I note that with Mandellbulber 1.18  the Apply Changes  for the colouring slider has gone sad

I hope I understood your post and replied reasonably clearly. smiley
