Banding in the sky only after I render a clip
-
i think the instructions you posted are for Premiere Elements but I get what you’re saying. I checked this process in premiere pro too but nothing changed. In the sequence settings there is a checkbox for “max bit depth”.
-
I’ve tried exporting in different formats/codecs/data rates with little change. The weird part is that the footage looks great when it’s in the timeline with a yellow bar (unrendered) over it. There is absolutely no banding. It’s not until I render or export the clip do you see the banding.
-
That makes sense.
I’m not sure what to tell you at this point.
When you play the timeline is the banding there during the fade up?
If you output at “match sequence settings” is the banding there?
In the most extreme scenario, is substitution of a different shot possible within your narrative? One that would not have the sky so prominent, maybe?
-
The banding is there when I play it in the timeline if the clip is rendered (green). If it’s still yellow (unrendered) there is no banding.
it’s still there when you “match sequence settings” on output too.

Yeah, I went to check if the same settings were available in PPro and for some reason it wouldn’t load. So I had to reboot. Then I got hungry and went on a food run.
You know, I see LOTS of PPro bugs here that only one person is experiencing. This seems to be one of them. Have you ever had this problem before? Or have you just not noticed? Do you have other footage with a lot of sky shot in them that you could compare?
-
is that a 8 bit transition? and is your render output 8 bit?
-
I’ve tried using a typical “dissolve” transition as well as changing the opacity. I also just tried “film dissolve” which is a 32 bit transition. they still all show banding after rendering.
how do I change my render output bit depth?
-
What codec are your previews set to? Change it to Pro Res or some other 10 bit codec.
-
where do i change the preview codec?
-
That looks to be an 10 bit/8 Bit issue.
10 bit video displayed on 8 bit device will do exactly that…
Since you saw it correctly prior to render, what you saw it on was 10 bit.. Could it be the render outputs only 8 bit?
