Rendered video looks worse than looking into composition preview After effects CC2017
I’m trying to find the best settings for the final result but im struggling with some problem.
The target person is wearing black jeans and i did some color grade and eliminated noise using Neat video
and in composition preview looks very sharp with every detail but after the rendering it doesn’t look same as in composition preview..
in black part of the jean i have some color banding which in preview it didn’t had any even at 100% view not fit to window..
im working with:
32 bits per channel
HDTV (Rec. 709)
Checked in Blend colors using 1.0 gamma
What im i doing wrong?
I tried 8 bit 16 bit 32 bit..and none worked and in 8 bit has less color banding than 16 or 32 bit
Any ideas would be very helpful..please help me -

Please describe how you are rendering, and maybe post some screenshots showing your UI, color settings, output settings, before and after images, etc.

export to a png sequence first and then try rendering that out in MPG

Also…this is a very Rare Occurrence but If you set the quality of your preview to FULL before you render. do you get different results
