H.265 with Main10 selected in Encode Profile.

A helpful link that I learned from:

I was converting raw RED camera footage with gradient backgrounds to 12GB ProRes MOV files, until I found this video which cuts them down to about 500MB. This is a lifesaver, thanks!!

Absolutely goated. Changing it to H.265 and Main 10 totally saved my project. Thank you!

Dude. Been searching for this solve for hours. We shoot on a blackmagic pocket cinema camera, also a 10-bit depth. Thanks for putting out important content!

Here in 2024 and this still helped with some low light exports! The change to Main 10 removed 60-70% of the banding issues I was experiencing from my log 10-bit 4.2.2 footage. Thank you!

Your solution has just reduced the banding in my video by a good 70% which makes it absolutely usable now, thanks! Just so you know, my video was recorded in 8-bit so I first tried to set "Main" in the export and it didn't work but then I tried "Main 10" as you suggested and that's when I saw a massive improvement. Thanks again Thomas!

You are my hero! The only other option that fixed the colour banding was QuickTime file, but massive size. With your tip, the file is even smaller than it was before and way more quality. Thank you!!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
