    Hi,

    Is there a way of exporting a series of clips in one go? (with file->export) I use this for h.264 conversion and at the minute I’m having to export each clip individually.

    I would use free 3rd party software, but I find the quality is not as good as after effects… and unfortunately I’m not running Snow leopard or quicktime pro.

    Look forward to hearing back!

    Nick

    Actually AE is not your best choice for H264- make sure you have your clips in different comps, open those comps in Adobe Media Encoder and start exporting- this should give you better H264 encoding, and the liberty to run free after you hit the “start” button.

    That sounds ideal – do you know where I can get hold of a version of the media encoder that runs alongside CS3? Have tired downloading the version adobe host from their website but it’s not compatible.

    Thanks again

    No idea where to get CS3 encoder- try asking on adobe forums.

    I’ve always found outputting as H264 through the render queue (16:9 with audio) to be pretty buggy.. plus the result is touch and go quality wise. You recommend using 3rd party compression tools such as adobe media encoder in a post of yours ealier this year – why the change of heart?

    Thanks 🙂

    what is the difference in rending using render queue VS exporting as swf? I used the render queue and it output in .avi file format…however when I viewed the .avi file it did not look at all like it was suppose to be (many elements missing, 3d camera movement didn’t work)

    are the quality of video .swf VS .avi equal when dropping into premiere?

    thanks Dave. you’re the man.
