    I’ve exported a few After Effects project to Quicktime with the Animation, Million Colors+ and highest quality settings.

    When I try to play these movies, Quicktime can’t seem to handle them. It just skips some parts. Every time I start the movie the parts skipped, are different.

    Also important, the files are huge! Around 1 GB…

    Can someone please help me?

    That does make sense. Which settings do you suggest I use for my output file?

    The After Effects project exists of .MOV files.

    There is no aplha channel. I just use Quicktime because it has the best quality.

    Well, I’m not going to use the output file created in After Effects in another program. It doesn’t really matter whether the file is a .MOV/.AVI/.MPG, as long as I can play it with VLC media player.

    The most important thing, is that the output quality must be great. I can export to .MOV but (as you said before) my PC can’t handle it.

    I’ve exported the After Effects created files to .MOV and opened them in Premiere Pro. I openend the existing .AVI files in Premiere Pro too. If it matters, it it easier to export from Premiere Pro? And if so, what output settings should I use?

    Hey i also use AE on a mac and am having a bit of trouble with exporting

    When i export to quicktime file the colors are rendered quite noticably brighter than what i had color corrected in the AE project.

    I tried other formats but they either had the same problem our were very poor quality.

    If you could help that would be nice
