Here's the vectorscope that shows the 8-bit quantisation, which is made worse by the low-contrast lighting conditions and the low-contrast codec (C-Log)
I managed to "fix" the noise through various NR techniques, which also fixed the 8-bit quantisation:
Hi Kye,
thanks for your post, would you mind mentioning how you fixed these kind of 8bit banding/quantisation artifacts in post?
To give context, I'm shooting using an Iphone 11 which is 8 bit. I was wondering if 10bit alone justifies purchasing a brand new Iphone 12 pro max, compared to using 8bit. Pls note I normally shoot 8bit and expose to protect highlights, and do not too grade aggressively.
Also, I just ordered the freewell vnd kit which includes a mist base. Would you expect to see more aggravated banding issues when using mist filters on 8bit footage?
