  Posted by Roro Shalom on March 20, 2009 at 11:36 am

  crwhen i create a solid color it with a bright color, convert it to 3d and add a spot light it looks fantastic!
  But when i change the color of the solid to a dark color it looks terrible!!! I can see the gradiant lines like an old gif image!!!
  How can i fix it? Pls help!!!

  I tryed to add an adjustment kayer and pull down the saturation and lightness of ther red layer but it didnt help.
  My res settings are high! the screen settings are high!!!
  I am hopeless.

  Working in 16-bit instead of 8-bit reduces banding. The only other way around it I’ve found is to add a small amount of noise to the image.

  Try reducing the brightness of the light so there’s not as much contrast. Also, as the other poster says, add noise to reduce the appearance of banding.

  Color Grading presets for After Effects, Premiere, etc., plus free presets and more.
