In that case they'll be fine and you can do that with DeDup, but I don't recommend it - if you don't use a low enough threshold then it will make very slow pans choppy, and you might have to use a threshold so low that the noise would flag the frame as unique.
The default threshold will also consider frames where characters trembling (the outlines change slightly every frame) to be dupes.

Just doing blind SelectEvery() might be bad for the same frame. Most animation is 12 fps, but then you have pans which need the whole 24 fps to be smooth... so then you can use DeDup for VFR, but that brings up the issue I just mentioned.

You could still do it, but then you'd have to check all the pans are OK which is a hassle. If they aren't, you'll need to manually fix them and then it becomes a lot of work that isn't worth the benefit.
