Hi this is a second issue from my prores encoding but thought I'd split into 2 as they are separate problems. Recently I've changed my workflow as I'm not happy with how resolve handles SD interlaced footage and can be a pain to get back out the other side so I've started using hybrid at the beginning of the chain to bob deinterlace and apply relevant cleanup before I do any further isolated colour correction. However I've compared samples from the original capture compared to what hybrid is spitting out and I'm getting some colour banding issues from the result. I'm using the prores 422 HQ SD profile on kostya default at present but not sure if the vapoursynth filters are at fault or if I should be changing something on the custom options for the prores profile. I remember previously on x264 export when I was pushing out the final files through hybrid that the avc profile level helped the issue but I'm not seeing an equivalent for the prores options. Obviously its not a codec problem as prores is perfectly capable of handling higher bit depth but other than possibly the alpha bits option I can't see anything referring to bit depth.
Many thanks
