    I may need to know you render settings.

    But the best solution I can think of right now is you need to have Adobe Media Encoder so you can render your video in H.264

    What is the deliverable format?

    What formats have you tried?

    Is there a format that will successfully push out the video?

    Has everything you tried been a subset of quicktime?

    A lot of support has been pulled from quicktime. If you really want to to have a particular codec in a .mov and it isn’t a direct render option, then push it out in whatever container it can be and then rewrap it as .mov.

    So you’re rendering to QuickTime, with Animation as your codec? I don’t think that the native Windows media player has an Animation codec decoder. Unless you install a viewer that can read these files (VLC is a good one), the media may appear black.

    Installing Adobe Media Encoder does not make H.264 available in the After Effects render queue. You must either render to an intermediate file from Ae and then compress that file to H.264 in AME, or your must add your Ae comp to AME (either via drag and drop, or via the Queue in AME button in Ae’s render queue). Then, you can choose H.264 as a format and get MP4 files as your output.
