C300: Workflow in Premiere Pro/Export Settings?

[seanarmada]

Hi guys

Just curious if you have any tips with respect to working with C300 MKII footage in Premiere Pro and any go-to export settings you tend to use?

I'm currently wrapping up my first project shot on the C300 and used HD 12-bit 444 codec. In general the footage looks great but I am seeing banding in a few clips which seems a bit weird to me given how robust the codec is. Without knowing all the details are there any obvious settings I might not be aware of?

Here's a pretty harsh example:



Also note: I haven't really gone too hard on this footage. I started by applying Arri Rec709 lut and worked from there.

Match Source - Hi BitRate
Tick the box that says - Maximum Render Quality
(do NOT export using rendered previews)

Banding is a noise reduction artifact- Canon is aware and hopefully working on a fix. If using Canon Log 2, Cinema Gamut and Production Matrix, the ARRI 709 LUTs work great along with added saturation. I export using YouTube or Vimeo presets in PP CC.
