In after effects, bring the clip in, set your workspace to 16bpc and use the degrain effect. Forcing, in this case, After Effects, to resample those colors at a higher bit depth should smooth out the banding, at least in theory.

While I’m sure you can compare benchmarks on sites like Tomshardware there are things, intrinsically different between Quadro cards and gaming cards like the GTX besides speed and price.
https://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?98939-New-quadro-quot-K-quot-4000-vs-gtx-titan was a decent similar discussion.

The other thing to consider that is a pain in the butt is “setup” or “pedestal” which is the bump in black from 0 IRE to 7.5 IRE for the US.
DV tape, if I recall correctly uses 0 IRE all over the world. Other analog equipment like the tape deck might add setup, or a signal bump in the blacks, or it might not, as might other devices in the signal chain.

Make sure Premiere Pro CS6 is fully up-to-date. Version 6.0.3 fixes a number of issues – specifically “tearing in image when using XDCAM EX footage”

The only reason we have “legal” colors is for analog equipment: analog equipment in the broadcast chain for SD, analog over-the-air broadcast (at least up until a few years ago in the US as we are now all-digital ATSC) and analog television sets.
Rec 709 as a color space represents a viewing space. Either a monitor can display a color or it can’t and kind of has nothing to do with a legal color pallet.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast-safe is what you should be reading.
In general you should be looking at the YC Waveform in Premiere or, ideally, in a hardware scope. Considering NTSC as my example Luma should be between 7.5 IRE (or 0 IRE outside of the US) and 100 IRE, and with chroma turned on it should be between -20 IRE and 120 IRE. A vectorscope can help spot saturation spikes which may cause chroma measurements to go out of range. IRE is a voltage measurement for analog signals.
If you’re mastering for DVD then black level is, so far as I understand it, always 0 IRE as the DVD player will bump it up to 7.5 depending on the set region or destined country of import.
Premiere also does full range YCrCb -> RGB conversion. You might have some people say that 0 IRE is mapped to the 16 gray and 100 IRE is mapped to 235 white. Premiere treats 0 IRE as 0 black and 100 IRE as 255 white for titles, graphics, and RGB-based video.
Premiere does do a lot of floating point math, that’s why you’ll see luma signal above and below 0-100 IRE but many export formats will truncate that information.

In the interim, if you have Speedgrade, you can rename the clip in the file browser window and select a starting frame number. Bridge also has a batch rename but Bridge is also insanely slow.

You could try XMedia Recode (for Windows) which appears to be a front end for FFMPEG that has a preview area to set in and out. The interface is not beginner friendly but if you have experience with FFMPEG then the options presented will make sense.
https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.xmedia-recode.de%2Findex.html (site is in German, program installs in English)
In and Out marks are noted in text boxes under preview timeline, you won’t see markers.

Start a new project, go to Menu > File > Import and select your corrupted project file. It will import into your bin as files, folders, and sequences.

Download FFMPEG and read the documentation for the commands -ss and -t as these are the seek and duration commands.
An example command line would be something similar to:
ffmpeg.exe -r:0 29.97 -i input.mov -codec:v copy -codec:a copy -ss 3 -t 10 split_output.movThe -r tag forces the framerate for the input file which FFMPEG can sometimes read incorrectly during splitting. The -codec:v copy and -codec:a copy means that I want to copy the video and audio without recompressing. -ss seeks in 3 seconds (this can be fine tuned, read documentation) and -t sets duration.
Should work fine. You may find that the first or last frame are black, but that’s the worst of things since most h.264 files are interframe.
A note for Premiere users: You may have to rename .mov files to .mp4 to dodge Quicktime processing, otherwise the file may not import for additional editing….. generally not good to split interframe codecs.

Corruption of project files happens every so often. If the auto save works, then great! In the future, importing an old project into a new project solves a lot of similar issues as well.
