Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Some presets are good. Others will have every color in the spectrum flashing through the screen every frame.

Describe the solution you'd like
Some setting to cap this (Maybe limiting how different from the previous frame every given pixel can be in RGB values, and cut the difference in half until it's within acceptable ranges) would be greatly appreciated and turn this into not a health hazard.

Describe alternatives you've considered
A curated list of presets that cut out the epileptic stuff. Sounds like an undertaking considering the amount of presets shipped, thou. Though it could be done programatically.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by locating the preset rendering path and determine whether the intended scope is an RGB frame-difference cap or curation of shipped presets; done should mean reducing hazardous rapid color changes without breaking normal visualization.
