After Effects + Adobe Media Encoder + Flash = Most Random File Sizes Ever
Asking this question in this AE forum because I think more would have knowledge on the topic here than the Flash Forum.
I’ve heard that video compression is more of an art than a science… Could someone provide me some insight on the following?
-All software = CS4
-Created a 12 second, 30 FPS, 300×250 banner animation inside of After Effects
-Export FLV to be placed inside of a 300×250 .FLA, On2VP6 codec- 250 bitrate VBR.
-Comps rendered directly from Adobe Media Encoder standalone instead of Render Queue in AE (for 2 pass .FLV’s, and heard from various that .FLV’s from render queue are not the prettiest at times).I’ve always been under the impression that I would get smaller file sizes with SWF’s externally linking to an FLV. If I do it this way, I end up with:
41 KB .SWF + 668 KB .FLV = 709 KB total
However, if I EMBED the same 668 KB .FLV to the FLA’s timeline (not using the flvPlayback component) I end up with a 381 KB file size!
I am just confused on the logic here, could someone explain the reasons for this? I always thought my file size would be bigger if it was embedded to the timeline.
