Volumetric Light Flicker Fix

This script goes through each selected shot and finds the active camera for each shot. It then sets the depthOfFieldQuality attribute to "3" instead of the default "1"

This resolves any constant flickering caused by the volumetric light. This does not remove the 1 frame flicker at the beginning of shots (just render each shot by itself to resolve that)

This is for any leftover flicker AFTER you've already increased your motion blur and Depth of field samples to a higher value.

Usage:

Select your shots, run the script "DoF Quality 3"

To revert back to defaults, do the same steps but run "DoF Quality 1"

NOTE: This will increase render times and possibly cause lower fps on playback. This script should mainly be run when you're finished and want to render.

I've heard elsewhere you can increase the quality to 5-7, if you'd like to change that just edit DoF Quality 3.py and change "QUALITY_VAL = 3" from 3 to 5/6/7
