Thanks Gary. I’ve tried this with several different backgrounds behind the transition with luma values ranging from too dark, nicely balanced and too light and all result in the same banding effect when it’s rendered to AVI. The banding reveals the underlying image. The preview window looks great during timeline playback but the render is where it shows up. Is there any way to post a graphic here to demonstrate what I’m seeing? There may be an easy term to describe that I’m simply not aware of.

Thanks!
