H.264 is missing from my render settings…
It was there yesterday. But its gone today. Its not even in the options to render out as h264. It was my default render for quicktime.

Dave asks good questions. What changed? Did you upgrade your OS? Did you change your QuickTime installation? Did you update your AE?

I wish i knew what had changed. A restart might fix it, but ive been too busy to do one. I did not do anything. But i had accidentally left my computer on overnight. I restarted it this morning. And that was all i did.

What’s your exact version number of AE?

Sounds like a CC license glitch.

Ae CC 2014 doesn’t render H.264 directly; Richard was using QuickTime to render H.264.
While CC licensing does allow access to licensed codecs via MediaCore, that’s unrelated to QuickTime so I’d suspect the glitch was elsewhere.

Thought I’d read that 2014 apps no longer used QT as their MOV rendering engine. Maybe I was dreaming…

[Steve Brame] “Thought I’d read that 2014 apps no longer used QT as their MOV rendering engine. Maybe I was dreaming…”
That depends on the codec. CC 2014 added 64-bit ProRes support on the Mac platform, so they are clearly not relying on QT for that. I’d suspect but do not know for sure that CineForm would also be handled natively. Other codecs that you’d think would be supported by MediaCore (like Animation codec in MOV wrapper) are still handled by QuickTime.
But while we’re on the topic, I’d suggest that QuickTime’s H.264 encoder is not great and that rendering to MOV/H.264 may not yield the best results. I generally prefer to render to an intermediate format and let Adobe Media Encoder handle the H.264 encode. This is a pretty simple process with watch folders.
