Dynacomp earns its spot in the superhive library for putting compositing and basic color correction directly in Blender's viewport with a stack of ready-to-use presets. Just note it's a beta: some screenspace effects differ slightly in the final render, and rare crashes can occur with certain effects. A demo video is available.
Dynacomp is a Blender addon that brings compositing into the viewport in realtime, so you can composite and apply basic color corrections on the go. It comes with a set of ready-to-use presets and includes effects such as cinemascope and lens dirt.
The addon ships as two downloads: the Dynacomp zip, which installs through Blender's user preferences, and a separate preset zip containing 12+ presets that you point to from Dynacomp's preferences. It is listed as compatible with Blender 4.0 and 4.1, under a GPL license.
Dynacomp is a beta release. Some of its effects are screenspace, meaning cinemascope and lens dirt can look slightly different in the final render than in the viewport, and the developer notes that Blender crashes very rarely with some effects, depending on several factors. The developer uses it daily and describes ongoing scope for improvement.
Dynacomp is best for blender artists who want realtime viewport compositing with basic color corrections and ready-to-use presets.
Dynacomp is completely free to download and use.
Dynacomp lists support for Blender 4.0 and 4.1. If you're running one of those versions, the addon installs through the standard user preferences workflow. For newer or older Blender releases, the developer's page is the best place to confirm current compatibility, since this is a beta version that the developer notes still has scope for improvement. Checking there before installing helps you avoid surprises with any version outside the stated 4.0 and 4.1 range.
Dynacomp installs like a typical Blender addon: download the Dynacomp zip along with the separate preset zip, then open Blender's user preferences and select the Dynacomp zip to install it. The preset zip contains 12+ ready-to-use presets, which you extract to a location of your choice. Finally, return to Dynacomp's user preferences and add that preset folder path to the preset path location so the presets become available. Both files are needed for the full setup.
Dynacomp is listed as free in this catalog, and its license is noted as GPL. Since licensing and any pricing can change, the developer's page is the best place to confirm current terms before you download. The GPL license generally governs how you can use and redistribute the addon, so if those details matter for your project, review them directly on the developer's page rather than relying on a catalog snapshot.
Dynacomp includes some screenspace effects, such as cinemascope and lens dirt, which the developer notes can look slightly different in the final render compared to the viewport. This is worth keeping in mind when you rely on those specific effects for a finished shot. The developer also mentions that Blender crashes very rarely with some effects, depending on several factors. Since this is a beta version used daily by the developer, occasional differences and rough edges are expected.
