We are experiencing a banding issue with the gradient in a vector file in adobe animate out.

Question

We're working on a 2D animation project and using Illustrator to create all of our backgrounds, which are then imported as vector files. However, we're encountering banding issues with the gradients in the artwork after export from animate. Do you have any suggestions on how to resolve this? I've attached a screenshot from the video for reference.

Banding is a common issue with digital gradients in general, it's most commonly removed in post-production with a little noise in After Effects: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5h2lg7iO_SE

There is no such option in Animate, the most you can do is increase the stage anti-aliasing to a max value of 16x by opening the Actions panel (F9) and typing this line of code on Frame 1:

stage.quality = "16x16"

Keep in mind however that with this method export will be much slower as a result.
