Hi Vlad, I have done what you suggested and imported the raw NEF file directly into AE. At this stage, Adobe Bridge kicks in as a means to edit before it goes onto the timeline. Looking at the images though, I notice a light ring which sometimes shows on the image due to the fact that it is very ash...

Hi Vlad, I have confirmed that the concentric circles are there both before and after Neat Video has been applied. Here are links to 2 screen dumps from After Effects.

Hi Vlad, I have checked my worksflow. I import the NEFs into Lightroom and grade and colour correct etc in there working also with LRTimelapse software. I export them as TIFFs with no compression, 300 pixels per inch, 16bits, and sRGB colour, before importing in After Effects which is where I apply ...

Hi Vlad,

Yes, I agree, they are concentric like bands in the shadows. I don't see them in the originals files.

The image format is NEF from a Nikon D810. Here's a couple of NEF raw files:

Hi Vlad, The image you see is not CG. There is no actual movie file. It's a camera obscura of about 500 frames from a time-lapse using a DSLR. The image sequence sits in After Effects (AE). I could render out a raw AVI file with no noise which will be around 50GB - probably too big. To maintain the ...

Hi Vlad, No, the banding doesn't look like that you have linked to. I have instead provided 2 images which should give an idea: http://www.stephenpatience.photography/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/obscura1.jpg http://www.stephenpatience.photography/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/obscura2.jpg Hoping you hav...

Ripple/wavy pattern in dark area

I have just upgraded to ver 4.5 and notice a marked improvement on my earlier version. However, I have noticed a ripple/wavy pattern or banding in a darker area but is not apparent when there's more light.

Do you have a suggestion how this can be avoided ?

Thanks
Stephen
