PURPIFY is definitely a feature, not a bug!

Hi firstly thank you, I absolutely love what you're developing here. It's become my favourite animation tool to work with. Having endless fun on this project and I'm getting stunning results!

Can I please request that if possible, the colour matching techniques previously used prior to commit 83 also remain present in the extension as an additional option for users to select? I humbly offer my own working title "Purpify" for this early stage Feature (definitely not a bug).

The prior tendency of frames to travel towards a purple hue, as discussed in these issues that you've closed a couple hours ago https://github.com/volotat/SD-CN-Animation/issues/57 and in https://github.com/volotat/SD-CN-Animation/issues/67, was completely integral to my workflow on the project I'm in the middle of, so I am currently attempting to rollback to a version prior to commit 83 from yesterday. I'm still uncertain which exact commit version last "featured" the slide towards purple.

The fluidity and evolution of the generated frames was perfect for the prompts/models I've been working with, as the colour drift brought other quite distinctive evolutions in the animation which don't seem to occur in the newer versions of the extension. Presently the colour regulates, however the animation also seems to be impacted by this and has less capacity for evolutionary variation over time.

There also seems to be an observable stuttering, it happens with a regular frequency that can be easier noticed in longer sequences, and a visual reset of sorts now occurs along with it, which creates a less dynamic shot. As a result, it does now almost come close to being loopable, which might be benficial in certain situations.

I ran a 2040 frame sequence overnight after this change to colour matching to get a clearer picture of how the animation now evolves over an extended period of time, and the animation has become far more repetitive. It seens to have lost much of it's dynamic capacity to develop/mutate visually while having the beautiful fluid coherence it still offered when working with your prior commits. The entire aesthetic has changed, and so I'd be extremely grateful if you'd consider this not a closed bug, but recognise it as an absolutely magnificent feature that could be further explored and developed upon.

Just for example, if the drift in to purple is anything to go by, the added ability to manually set a multistage hue shift of variable intensity between frame X and Y and then set another between frame Y and Z etc before rendering the sequence would create new forms of evolutionary effects over time from the same static prompt. I was planning to make such a hue variation feature request before observing that one person's bug is another person's untapped feature!

Thanks so much, and hope you consider (re)implementing Purpify, and potentially further hue drift enhancements to this already mindblowing extension!
