Encoding Error Repeated Horizontal Bars

I am not sure what this encoding error is called. It appears throughout an export from AME. The map below was painted in photoshop. It was then brought into illustrator where the text, such as the word "fold" was added. The AI document was brought into AE for motion graphics of zooming in a panning to different parts of the map. A few other items were added in PP after importing the AE comp. I exported with AME with the following settings:

  • codec: H.264
  • 3840x2160 res, 24fps, sqaure pix, progressive, ntsc
  • Color: High 10 rec.2020 HDR
  • mbps: 50 (55 high), tried vbr 1 pass, had this issue, then moved onto to vbr 2 pass and still had this issue.
  • Audio: AAC version 2, Stereo, 9600 sample rate, 256 kbps

What can I do to solve this encoding error?

(Note: I know the color looks off in the picture. That is because I used VLC to export the image and the color data was altered from the HDR)

Well, you basically answered your own question: You used a non-HDR compliant feature or "bad" procedures and thus get artifacts on your layer style or whatever you are using to create the outline. The fon't contours not being clean could of course contribute to the stroke producing artifacts in the first place, too. Therefore the answer would have to be that you seriously need to inspect the shapes and possibly have to give them a do-over. Plus you will need to restructure your workflow to either employ correct HDR procedures such as establishing color management and using effects like the Compander and Color Profile converter to get correct conversions from 8/16bpc to 32bpc and back or forego this and stick with 8/16bpc and trying to achieve the same look by tweaking your effects differently. The latter would probably make the most sense, if your output target is H.264, anyway, given it's reduced color space.
