Using a gradient in FCP problem
Greetings!
I have a gradient created in Photoshop I’d like to use as a background for a graphics sequence. However, the gradient ends up looking “dithered” or you might say it has banding rather than being smooth.
Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem?
Many thanks!

Add some minor noise in ps or don’t use the DV codec. You can try adding a little blur.

It is called quantizing error. Comes with the Digital Video territory. Has since the beginning. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

What Bret says it works. Also you can create a 16bits gradient in PS and render in a 10b uncompressed time-line. Never DV.

I appreciate everyone’s response!
Rafalaos’ suggestion of a 16 bit grad and rendering in a 10b uncompressed timeline sounds very interesting, I will try it!
Thanks to all!

I’m having the same problem but I’m not in the DV realm. I’m working in 10bit uncompressed!
