Export to the internet- AE and Squeeze
Hi guys,
a question:
i am working on a project shot with a Canon XHA1, HDV, 25F. the footage is intended to go on to a web site – meaning the final frame size has to be 450 by 247 pixels.
what will be the better/easier why to work on this project:
1. (in AE) keying and the rendering to the native farme size and pixel aspect ration(HDV) and then using Squeeze to get it down to 450 by 247 and to FLV.
Or
2. (in AE) keying and then rendering the footage to 450 by 247 and then using Squeeze to just convert to FLV
and another small one: in workng on footage going to websites i noticed that non square pixels give smaller file size but lower quality and Square pixels give much bigger file size and a higher quality. does anyone has any ideas on what is better for compressing to FLV?
thank you very much
Uri

I would let After Effects do the resizing. You can make a new comp that is 450×247, import your HDV comp into it, and scale it down to fit. This is slightly different than using the ‘Stretch’ feature in the render queue’s Output Module Settings which will distort your footage at the resolution you are wanting (since it’s not 16×9).
I generally don’t like to use non-square pixels for web viewing partly because it’s not supported by many codecs. Squeeze uses very good multipass On2 VP6 encoding and should yield very good results with extremely low file sizes compared to Adobe’s single pass VP6 exports.
