Exporting resized video files quickly? Green screen work
Hello all! LONG story short:
I have 90+ short 30 second clips I need to export after being keyed in AE to H.264 160X120
these clips are originally 1920X1080P 23.976. I used Primatte keyer from RG to key the footage.
Here is my issue: THESE ARE TAKING FOREVER to render. I am exporting to H.264 160X120, with Audio. I have tried multiple settings within the h.264 codec, but the time it takes for them is the same: 30min – 1 hour per clip.
My machine: newest imac 32GB ram, 2GB vram nvidia card, cs6
Please help if possible, you know the drill: client needs it yesterday
Could one have TOO many lenses? I submit that one cannot.

Thanks for quick response. I am actually exporting with a background. So I have been exporting as stated earlier. Please see attached images.
“What are the duration of thie clips, what is their frame rate, and what is the codec of the clips? It makes a difference.”
The original durations are varied between 35 seconds to 1 minute each. I have cut them according to our needs per clip. The original files are AVCHD shot on a GH2. They are MTS files when transferred into AE. They frame rate is 23.976

It’s what the client uses. These videos go onto a interactive online media center. I totally agree with everything you said. They end up being so tiny quality doesn’t matter too much, as long as they don’t look pixelated. Parameters they gave me say the videos need to be: 160X120 Video=800/kbs, Audio=128kbs
So how could I better move the process along for now? In the future should I be using different software? I just can’t spend 30 min+ rendering each clip. The keyer in Premiere isn’t as good, which is why we used AE.

[Chris Jordan] ” The original files are AVCHD”
Personally I wouldn’t use AVCHD unless I absolutely have to. It’s a pretty awful codec to work with, at least in Premiere.
