  • URGENT! Ramp colors are stepped not smooth

    Posted by Rob Hindley on October 11, 2006 at 4:53 am

    I have created a comp using Ramp on a coloured solid. It is smooth on my monitor but when rendered as a Lossless Quicktime and preview in Quicktime Player on a PC the ramp graduation has nasty stepping in it…

    How do I solve this? The project is PAL resolution and I use a Mac with AE6.5.

    Add some noise. or increase the ramp scatter a little bit. Also be sure to be rendering in 16bpc.

    Cheers,
    Andrew

    Thanks Andrew.

    Was in 8bpc!

    What amount of noise or scatter?

    a percent or two or noise and maybe 10 on the scatter, do what looks good. Increase it until the banding goes away…

    Best
