Feathered Eclipse forming bands when rendered
I’ve encountered an ongoing problem with AE – whenever I have a solid that I mask into a compsized eclipse, it seems to just be a set of bands when I render it out. Is there anything I can do to help this problem, a picture is included to show you when I mean. Basically all I want to do is somehow make the mask feather alot smoother so when its rendered out it looks nicer. Or if there is a different approach I can take with the same turnout. Thanks Guys and Happy Holidays!

When you render to 8-bit files, this is one of the limitations you bump into. 8 bits only allows for a limited amount of colors, and on subtle gradients you run out of them.
Sometimes setting project space to 16-bit will help, even when rendering to 8-bit files – possibly some kind of subtle dithering scheme.
But the common alternative is adding a tiny amount of noise to the layer causing the banding.

Hey, In AE when I added the Noise it looked great. Rendered it out and everything was all smooth and dandy. I also changed to 16bit mode to. Then when it got to the compressed rendering in Vegas it shot right back down to the look it had before. Any suggestions?
