    I have always been a bit confused on the best route to export from after effects. I have a couple of questions.

    What is the difference between composition make movie and file export?

    If I do an opening animation or a green screen in ae and plan on taking it into premiere, considering disk space is not a priority but more quality which is the best way to export? setting wise.

    And finally, my biggest, If i am planning on exporting and taking it directly into flash video encoder and exporting from there in order to upload on my website, which is the best way to export. This is my biggest problem, it honestly seems that my videos with no after effects involved end up looking better then an opening animation with a little bit of shine on it. When i look at the export it looks fine so it might be Flash video encoder on this one, however i use the same settings and then tried every other setting available and could get no promising results. Sorry if any of this is confusing. Thanks for your help.

    Please check the AE basics forum and use the search function. Pretty much all your questions have been covered in the past. To give you a short version (and you don’t think I#m an ass entirely):

    – Export gives you access to a few file formats that make movie/ add do render queue don’t. The other way around of course the same is true – export does not support certain things on the render queue.

    – Premiere likes AVIs. If you are using a special hardware liek Matrox RT or something, encode your stuff in these CoDecs. Will save both space and maintain best possible quality along with eliminating any renders within Premiere.

    As for your Flash problem – most likely your data rate is too low. You don’t normally notice that on average footage without processing, but fine lines such as Shine creates them, may force the compression to use more blocks.

    Sorry, I am kind of new here.

    Thanks, both for the info and telling me where to look. I did search but I guess only on this thread.

    Either way I aprreciate it.

    in premiere you export
    im AE you render

    add your comps to the render que ,adjust your file type,compression, file name etc , and then hit the render button.
