  Render to Mpeg2

  Posted by Dan Schaffner on March 29, 2006 at 5:47 pm

  Do you need Adobe Encore installed to be able to render to Mpeg2 from AE on a pc? When I select Mpeg2 in the render window everything locks up and I have to restart. I don’t have Encore installed yet, waiting for delivery.

  Thanks

  I could be wrong, but I don’t believe that AE (Production bundle 7 here) comes with any Mpeg2 Export out of the box.

  So it must showing up from another piece of software installed that has that codec, and which may not be compatible with AE ?

  If you do have Encore, you should probably export as uncompressed first anyway and then let Encore do the Encoding.

  Or if you have Premiere and the Production bundle (Dynamic Link) import the AE project in premiere and use Adobe media Encoder export.

  Cheers,

  Vince

  Just one more thing I thought of. Did you try using the render queue and changing the render format to that same Mpg2 codec? (Assuming it will show up there as well…)
