feathering -masks – banding problem.
I always get banding artifacts in AE when I use Masks to make vignettes. Its like making a gradient and then getting banding across the gradient if you don’t ad some noise to break it up.
Can anyone help?
Banding is killing me, slowly. -

Are you using lights or in 3D? I was just about to post a question about the same problem, except that I’m getting it as my light feathers out. Are lights not really 16bit?
(of course, make sure you’re in 16 bit mode, 8 bit will definitely cause banding. FILE-PROJECT SETTINGS)

No 3d lights but I know it causes the same problem. I tried ’16 bit’ but as usual it only helps a ‘bit’. Were doing something wrong, or there’s something we don’t know. Dammit!
The only thing I can think of is to apply your own ‘noise’ to the layer to break up the banding. But surely that is an expensive, bloody time-consuming work-around. -
I am having the same problem. My background is green. I have an adjustement layer. I draw an oval mask. I ad a filter “Levels” to it. I reversed the mask. So what’s outside the oval is gradually getting darker. I set 150 of feather. But even if I am in 16bits, it looks like some bands are been rendered. Not acceptable. I am using After Effects 6.5.1 on latest Mac OS X.
