Comments.Text: I checked this answer but the banding is not in the video, the problem lies in the codec / export.

Comments.Text: Actually, in looking at the images on a decent monitor at home, it looks like what you have is not banding but compression artifacts. Can you change it to a higher quality setting.

  I have a video imported in Adobe Premier from After effect (16 bits).
  
  Before rendered in the timeline the [image looks nice](http://flic.kr/p/czePj5) but when rendered I have a important **banding** (see [photo 2](http://flic.kr/p/czeQ6q) (no banding) and [3 (with banding)](http://flic.kr/p/czePkW))
  
  Because it is only on the rendered video in the timeline this must be a codec issue (correct me if I am wrong).
  
  What is the best codec and settings to use in order to have a nice preview and nice final video ?
