Render color depth.

[malu05_vb]

I got a shot with a gradient background made by some spotlights.
The composit does look good inside combustion, and if i render it as png it looks good too;

So now i want to render it, i use fx Windows Media 9.0
The problem is now that when i render the shot it looks like this:
http://files.filefront.com/Render60windowsavi/;5255837;;/fileinfo.html

As you can see it looks like the colordepth has been slightly reduced but it is 100% the same settings.
i have tried with all my codecs on full quality but its still the same.

How do i get a smooth gradient color with video for windows?

not much you can do, use some noise to hide the banding, or use a 10bit codec.

But why does this occour?
Is it combustion, the windows video format or? since the tiff/png is 8bit too

Afaik you can use tiff/png without compression. Windows Media Video must at least do something to get the files as small as they get 😉
You can try a Quicktime (Animation) codec, and I bet, you won t get that effect.
