Hi all,

I am working on my second movie and currently I am using Movie Maker. I have noticed that in the test sequences I have made using MM that there is a lot of "banding" namely, in the sky shots and some on the water/ground.

I used GameCamLite to film the sequences as avi files and they replay without the banding, so I am left to assume it is a fault of MM.

Any recomendations on how to lessen this banding problem?

I would like my movies to be a clear and sharp as possible.

Thanks

I always use MM to compress my final movie to .wmv to distribution, and I've never noticed this.

Maybe you're trying to make the movie too small and losing a lot of information? Or maybe it's a 32-bit/16-bit thing? It might be an idea to check that your desktop and LOMAC modes are the same... ie both 32 bit or 16-bit. If you;re flying in 16 bit and your desktop's 32 that might explain it.

Getting the best quality in a final movie is hard work though, especially when using things like Fraps ans Cam-whatsit, because there's a limit to the quality of the material you can save in the first place.

Thanks for the reply.

I am using the trial version of GameCam and it does limit my video size. I would think this would give higher detail rather than less.

I do have both the game and my desktop at the same res and have the game's detail to max for all my scenes.

BTW, what settings do you use when your render your movie in MM?

Thanks
