Bump.
I'm having trouble with ugly banding artifacts in an h.264 export from Premiere Pro CS5.5 (Windows). Flat skies for example are horribly blocky instead of smooth gradients.
The original footage was ProRes from the Arri Alexa.
CS5.5 doesn't have Alexa project settings as default so I 'made them up'.
I'm trying to export the 4 minute video to a size suitable for YouTube but without losing the beautiful quality of the Alexa.
I've exported an Uncompressed Quicktime file (YUV 8 bit 4:2:2) which looks beautiful - but it's unfortunately a staggering 17GB...
Do you know of any solutions to shrink it to something YouTube ready but maintaining as much as possible of the quality?
Unfortunately the MacBook Pro died so I'm using a Windows laptop.
I have Adobe Master Collection CS5.5 and can get other software if needs be.
