Export settings
Hello!
I have edited some films in After Effects and want to export them to Quicktime format, but am a little confused about which settings to use. I film in HD qaulity and want to keep it as good as possible. I would like to export to a format that I can use for both DVD and sites like Vimeo. When I output the films now it takes about 15 hours for three minutes of film! And also the file size is larger than 500 MB… So I would be very happy if anyone could help me a little with this! 🙂
The settings that I’m using are these:
– Compression codec: H.264 (I would like to keep this but rather change some of the below settings)
– Framerate: current
– Quality High (or should I use Best?)
– Dataspeed/datarate: Automatic, or I read that 5000Kbit/s was good for HD (this setting apparently detemines the filesize which I need to reduce)
– Size HD 1280×720, 16:9
– Letterxox and Deinterlace
– Sound: I read that I should choose AAC, but there isn’t any such option. I can choose 24 bit, alac etc, but don’t understand this so I choose uncompressed. 44.100 kHz
Very grateful for any help!
Kind regards

Thank you very much Dave! This was news to me and very very good to know! And good to hear that it isn’t just me not getting what to do! 🙂 I’ll have a look at that Forum instead!
Again, thanks so much!

But what settings should I have for the high quality file from AE then? The once I’m using takes forever and or crashes after a day or so. I have put my question in the Compression Techniques forum, so hopefully I’ll get some help there too! Thanks!

Thanks so much Dave! :)I’m self tought so yes I’m probably making al kinds of mistakes! 🙂
– For example, I don’t knor how to use/not use Opel GL…?
– I did have the multiprocessing of, I’ll try with it on now mut if that doese’t help I’ll turn it of again.
– How do I know if the HDV footage is/isn’t still in its acquisition codec?
Yes I’m on Windows, but I’ll try Animation if it still doesn’t work with H.264 (this is a sugestion from Vimeo, where I put the films).
Anyway, thanks so much! 🙂
