gradient banding on ae avi imported into Vegas…
I am gettting some major gradient banding on an avi that I’m dropping on my Vegas 8 timeline. The banding isn’t there when viewing the file outside of Vegas, so I’m assuming there is some incompatibility with my Vegas and/or ae settings. I tried rendering it out of ae in 16 bcs, also played with rendering settings in Vegas, all to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated.
here’s a small sample as a wmv…

Figured this one out on my own–the invitations I had scanned was textured with horizontal lines which caused the banding with any motion. Still not sure why it shows up in Vegas but not in the rendered AE avi…but I just filled the striated parts of the graphic with solid color and that took care of it. Should have suspected that was the problem but it was early in the morning.

Don’t forget that Vegas is an 8 bit editor. I have had this banding problem when bringing in graphics etc done on 10 bit 4:4:4: systems. Try the following if you sre using Vegas 8. Go to the ‘project properties’ of the job in hand and under ‘pixel format’ change it from 8 bit to ’32 bit floating point’ and see if that helps. This 32 bit option was introduced in V8 to help overcome the banding problem.
