  Posted by Matt Stoltz on December 6, 2010 at 6:05 pm

  Hey All -was just curious about this color fading on the edges of a glow or whatever -Its like it has a ripple effects on the fading of the glow.

  whats causing that ? How do ya fix it? Ive read it could be your video card? I have a Nvidia GTX 260
  and outputting though a Matrox MXO2 Mini.

  Any suggestions ? Bugs the crap out of me

  Hard to tell without an image but you might be seeing 8 bit banding versus 10 bit which is much smoother.

  Is your sequence 10bit? If not, try making a 10 bit ProRes422 sequence and copy the shots into that and rendering to see if it gets rid of it. If that is it, then copy your entire sequence into a 10 bit timeline at the end before final render.

  Hey Mike

  it is Video Banding –I couldnt remember what it was call when I posted this-
  i tried your suggestion –It changed it but didnt get rid of it

  could it be an issue from cheaper video cards ? -i dont think I have that cheap of one but I dont have a Quadro FX card either ?

  ill keep trying to find a solution

  It may be the glow plugin. I don’t think the GPU would cause that but I do know that Apple recommend ATI cards for FCP & Color.
