Exporting HTML5 videos

[Todd Kopriva]

Dave is correct.

Also, if you do go with H.264, export out of Adobe Media Encoder, not After Effects. The Adobe Media Encoder H.264 exporter is much better.

Thanks for the feedback.

Sorry, never heard of Adobe Media Converter. I am using AE CS5 on a Windows 7 64-bit PC – which should I be installing (link)?

What do you mean – export out of Adobe Media Converter? Can I import my AE.aep and export a composition?

Update: Sorry, just seen that I have Adobe Media Encoder already installed on my system! Will play

I would like to create the best possible quality videos for the web – but they need to be small.

At the momen, for a .flv video 250×500 (RGB + Alpha channels), I use the On2 VP6 Codec, VBR & a bitrate of 375kbps with audio at 80kbps.

@Tod. Yes, having ‘played’ with Encoder I see that I can import my AE project, select the composition to export etc.

You say that the H.264 exporter is much better in Adobe Media Encoder – what do you mean? Are you saying that I should use Encoder to create my .mp4 rather than rendering in AE? What about rendering .flv files? Finally, in Encoder I haven’t found how to export to .webm or .ogg – which format should I be selecting?

> what do you mean? Are you saying that I should use Encoder to create my .mp4 rather than rendering in AE? What about rendering .flv files?

I mean exactly what I said: Output of these formats from Adobe Media Encoder is better than output of these formats from After Effects. Yes, that goes for .flv files, too.

Sorry to sound naive Tod – but I am new to Encoder. Better in terms of the quality of the final video (even with all settings the same?), rendering time, processing or ??? Thanks for the clafication.

[Todd Kopriva]

All of the above. It’s better. Use it.

OK – will do.

I am trying to create the best quality web videos (with transparency) at the smallest file size. Have you any suggestions regarding settings: bitrate encoding (CBR, VBR), Encoding passes (one/two), bitrate (kbps) – or any other settings/tips.

Thanks for your great help.

Use the encoding presets built into Adobe Media Encoder for whatever web video service you’re targeting (e.g., Vimeo, YouTube).
