Weird “glitches” while rendering a sequence
I’m rendering a 150 frames sequence. If I render a single frame in any part of the sequence it does it fine. However if I try to render the full video, either as a PNG sequence or a Quicktime Movie some weird “glitches” start appearing on the objects. The first frame is fine, and then these glitches start appearing more and more after the first one. Here’s an example:

Are you using global illumination?
-
Yes
EDIT: Global Illumination is the problem, disabling it removes the issue. However I want it on, do you have any suggestion on how to fix this issue?

Well, QMC won’t have this issue but it will require more render time. Check your cache file settings and try switching the state of Full Animation Mode.

Thank you, Full Animation did the trick! I have another problem with this scene tho, and I was wondering if you could help me with it as well? The lights reflections on the dominos seem to flicker and I don’t know why. Here’s the video:

That’s classic irradiance cache behavior. You might be able to improve the results by increasing the record density or sampling. QMC won’t do that but it will add some noise into the render.
What are your global illumination settings?
How are you lighting the scene? Are you using lights or polygon lights? If the latter make sure that GI Area Light is enabled in the lighting/luminous material.

Thank you very much for your help. Unfortunately I’m still experiencing the same issue. I set both Record Density and Sampling from low to high. My global illumination settings are the following:

https://gyazo.com/f28779627354ba31b806374a9de80e1dI’m lighting the scene with both lights and polygon lights. The “GI Area Light” switch in the material settings for the polygon lights is enabled. Do you have any other suggestion?

The path count in your light map settings is pretty low. Light mapping can cause the same sort of artifacts with low settings. I’d recommend trying a path count setting of 10,000.
You might be able to lower the GI samples back to medium to offset the increase in render time.

I did as you said and the flickering decreased drastically. Thanks for the support.
