  • AVC-intra render from After Effects PC?

    Posted by Per Scaffidi on February 9, 2012 at 5:25 pm

    I’m doing some simple compositing and stills treatment on a PC with After Effects CS5.5 using AVC-Intra quicktime references from Media Composer. I’d like to render back to AVC-intra but I’m not seeing that option in AE. Am I missing something or is AVC-intra export only available on mac? If so, what other codec would make the most sense? Uncompressed quicktime? Thanks…

    DNxHD would be a good choice. You may have to download the free, cross-platform Quicktime codec from Avid.

    That’s actually what I’ve been using in the meantime. But I was under the impression that quicktime in any program should be able to encode AVC-intra, and our Media Composer on a PC is able to, but not AE.

    QuickTime doesn’t provide an AVC-Intra encoder.

    You can sort of render to AVC-Intra if you go through Adobe Media Encoder and choose P2 Movie. Note that it will create an entire P2 folder structure, not just a single AVC-Intra encoded MOV or MXF.
