  rendering help

  Posted by Mediatrix on July 17, 2006 at 6:41 pm

  Hello,

  I’m a neophypte at after effects, and I had a quick question about rendering. I composed an extremely short movie (10-15 seconds) with material from an illustrator file, but when I render the finished movie is incredibly large, around 333 mbs. The dimensions of the movie are 400*400. I was wondering if there are any rendering tutorials or resources that could be recommended…?

  Thanks in advance.

  hi there – before you start looking around it is probably best to specify what the rendered file will be used for. If it;s going to be broadcast on TV (probably not with those dimensions) you will want a high quality file (very big) – if you are going to email it, or put it on the web work out how big you want the file size, then start compressing. If you don’t have any other encoding programs you will need to do it all from within the render queue. Go over and check out the compression techniques forum, there are lots and lots of posts from people asking about compressing for web.

  My suggestion is to render to a quicktime, sorension 3, play around with the settings and see how you go
