  thin, horizontal banding appears across solid color areas for first few frames

  I am importing tiff sequences into Premiere Pro from After Effects CS5. The sequences are animations created in maya and brought into AE and composited. From Premiere, I plan to export to Encore as .WMV.

  There are solid areas of color in the animations that look fine in AE and also look fine as exported tiff sequences (solid, rich color). My project in Premiere Pro is PAL. When I bring the tiff sequences into Premiere Pro and look at them on the timeline, they still look fine, BUT when I render them on the timeline, thin, horizontal banding appears across all the solid color areas (actually, it appears everywhere, but it is not really noticeable except in the solid color areas).

  I thought it might be merely a Premiere timeline display issue, but when I export the timeline as an .wmv, the color banding occurs for first few frames. I tried to export from the AE timeline as a .wmv movie it come with very bad quality.

  In a nutshell, all along my pipeline, the images look fine until I render them on the Premiere Pro timeline and then banding appears and won’t go away. How can I avoid this?

  Thanks.

  What are your sequence settings?
  Did you try exporting a higher quality video?
