I am not sure if I am doing something wrong, but whenever I use the noise texture in an animation, it renders as a new pattern for each frame.

Is there any way to decouple the noise function from time?

As an aside, I've tried to mimic this using an image, but my results never look nearly as good as the stills I can produce with the niose function.

correct, the noise texture is different every frame

try using the clouds texture and scaling it down a lot

There are some other plugins you can use, for example
fixnoise.

Thank. Being new with Blender I wasn't sure if I was doing something wrong.

Also, thanks for the link to the plugins. One of them comes pretty close to what I need.
