After SMdegrain, there are banding in the output video. (8bit bt709 progressive bluray video)
AI tells me I should convert the video to higher bit depth before SMdegrain.
I try to insert the following script to Vapoursynth - custom - Insert before [smdegrain]:
clip = core.resize.Point(clip, format=vs.YUV420P16)
but it doesn't change much in the result.
What's the correct method?
