  • Adobe After Effects – render output – h.264 – passes, passes everywhere…

    Posted by Bryan Fury on November 7, 2014 at 3:52 pm

    Greetings,

    I’m kind of newbie what about after effects, I googled for few hours, but never found answer to my question.

    My question is very simple, how do I rise number of passes, either at CBR or VBR while rendering h.264 file from my AAE?

    Thank You!

    Kind regards

    Bryan

    You can’t. Either create an uncompressed master, or just import the comp directly into Adobe Media Encoder and do a multipass render there.

    And one more question, when I export h.264, it names the file mp4 in the queue and everywhere, but when it exports it it’s m4v and I cannot play it anywhere. Please advise :/

    Strange, the only time I get m4v files is if I’m creating a DVD. Are you using an H.264 preset, which one, and if not do a screen shot of your settings and post here(3rd to last icon, remember to copy embed code and post it in your reply)

    If You can, please advise,

    Click the multiplexer tab and make sure it’s set to mp4 and not none, none will create an m4v file. If that doesn’t
    export your preset and upload it here, if I can install it(I have cs6), I see if I can figure out the problem.

    Greetings,

    Thank You for Your further will to help me. I’m attaching my profile. My multiplexer is set to mp4 and it still exports m4a. I’ll try to create my own profile from some of the existing presets and rewrite it, or save it as new as next step,

    I just ran two test’s using your preset—once importing a master directly into AME, then rendering a AE composition in AME and both time got the desired mp4. Your settings work fine for me.

    Try importing a different video in media encoder and see if that spits out a m4v file or mp4. If it’s an mp4, then you might have an issue with your source file. What source file are you trying to encode?

    Greetings,

    I’m converting codecless [no compression/raw data] .avi container file. Now I tried mp4 from youtube and it converts it into m4a :/,

    I’m about to try factory preset now,

    This is the result again :/

    kind regards

    Update:

    When I use system presets, everything works fine, except I cannot modify anything,

    When I create my own preset, it’s always m4v :/
