Best Render Settings?
Looking for the best render settings for a shot I have. I exported a self contained quicktime file from Final Cut Express HD and the footage is HDV. So im done doing what I needed in AE, so whats the best way to export the shot out at maximum quality and bring back into Final Cut without video compression? Thanks Guys.

Quicktime movie, Animation codec. Use Composition>Make Movie and choose “lossless” as the preset.

In FC i did this
Export>quicktime movie> made sure self contained was checked and away she went. From there I just imported that into AE

Regarding to his same question. I use the Animation codec for some of my work. My problem is what software should i use to decompress it? I use imTOO. I convert it to an HD MOV file. Video settings at highest and it still looks crappy. What do you suggest?

lol, no im sorry. i thought i made it clear when i said “I use the Animation codec for some of my work…. I use imTOO. I convert it to an HD MOV file.Video settings at highest and it still looks crappy. What do you suggest?” Sorry for assuming. I am a MAC person actually, so i know the difference between MOV and CODECS. =]
Not trying to be an ass, just saying, sorry if my comments above offends you in any way. Anyways, I used the Animation Codec. Note, my video contains 3d Anaglyph images. So, color is more sensitive to the eye when you have the glasses on, thus seeing the pixelation and blending overlays.
I have quicktime pro. never used it to convert videos or anything though. Got a good tutorial or tips for me on that?
Thanks,

I used Animation codec for another video project file. That one is mainly just a slide show of images. It plays back rather smoothly, didnt skip or anything like that. What about PNG codec?
I use Photo JPEG for another video im doing, that involves images and recorded HD videos. Thats rendered out of AE. So in QuickTime. Do i use the same codec and turn down the quality down a bit? Or keep the quality high?

O sorry, it will be used off a MAC MINI playing off of quicktime. the video will loop for about 8 hours. It’s a 7 minute video.

Tried googling for adobe media encoder and apple compressor. cant find a site to download from. Is it free?

Ok, im back at it with this. I exported the original using Animation format at 100% quality. Now its about exporting using Quicktime PRO. I noticed that exporting it using QT as H.262, it sorta washes out the color. Researching it, its because of the gamma. I downloaded a plugin that supposedly resolved the colors being washed out from here: https://byteful.com/blog/2010/07/how-to-fix-the-h264-gamma-brightness-bug-in-quicktime/
I did all that, it looks better than using QT’s H.264 codec. One little problem though. Theres a red bar in the video that loses some of its quality and it blurs out. Here’s an image showing the difference: https://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm230/AlexKittavongPortfolio/video_compression.png
This video will be played on the web and i want it to play smoothly on iPod and iPad. So i kept the bitrate at 2500. Anyone have any idea on how to fix that issue with the red bar or is this the best ill get.
