Bug fixed:
The safe preset had an internal threshold that caused it to silently fall back to legacy behavior whenever motion was at or below 1.15, which is the default value. So in practice, safe and safer were doing nothing for most users.
That’s fixed now — the preset always applies its own algorithm regardless of the motion value.
I also added a new base preset When selected, the node does zero amplitude processing. Use it as a diagnostic: generate the same clip with base and with safe to see the isolated effect of the stabilization algorithm. If base shows visible color drift and safe does not, the preset is working correctly.
Regarding the accumulating color degradation over long chains: the bug above is the primary cause, but the per-channel centering in safe/safer also makes a genuine difference once the preset is actually running.
