Export Error using MP4 and h264 in AE 6.5
Ok, hopefully some gurus out there can help me out. I am using AE 6.5 on Leopard 10.5.2, Quicktime 7.4.5 . I didn’t have any problems exporting until just the other day. My project is 1920×1080, 29.97fps, Full Quality, and I’m trying to export to 640×360, h264, 1500 bit rate, no sound.
This started out as just a test project. I have 6 PNG images positioned in 3D layers to make it look like a 3D “room”. I created a camera, and just keyframed a movement with the orbit tool from one side of the “room” to the other.
That last bit of info may not even matter because I suspect this is a Quicktime problem! I just bought a new hard drive. I installed a fresh copy of Leopard to test my theory. I rolled back Quicktime to 7.4.1 using pacifist. I’m going to attempt to rollback to 7.3.1 as well and see if that fixes it.
Am I overlooking something simple and stupid? I have successfully exported projects to the same settings before. After I did an automatic software update is when I started to notice problems. Oh! And exporting to other codecs usually works, it’s just mp4 and h264 I have problems with. I’ve also tried using the render que instead of just exporting.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Ok, I solved my problem! It turns out it was something stupid after all. The “no sound” part of the equation seems to be the culprit. Even though I don’t have any audio in the project, I decided to leave the sound on and export again. BLAMO! It worked 🙂
After all that! Just leaving sound on was the fix. Sigh. I still think I’m going to stick with the 7.3.1 quicktime for now as well. As long as everything is working, I don’t want to change a thing!
