export format

[Simon Bonner]

H.264 is a delivery codec and therefore highly compressed. You can tweak the settings to get the level of compression you want, though you may be better off compressing from a dedicated compression programme like squeeze. If you’re going to be processing the clip again (i.e. sending to DVD), you would be better off using a lossless codec, like animation set to 100%.

thanks,but the animation codec makes some parts of my work to freeze .do u think i can use ,(when exporting the file) NONE from the options in quick time?(it makes the file like 700 mb but at least dont have any problems when showing…

The QT animation lossless codec creates files with an incredible amount of data. Attempting to play the files might result in some playback problems as your computer’s CPU and hard drive may struggle to play it smoothly.
Export out of AE using QT Animation to preserve the quality. Then use a dedicated compression program (soreson, etc..) to compress the QT animation file to a delivery format (h.264, etc..) that can be played back from your computer.
