H.264 Codec is Lost
Hello,
I updated AE today and in the export settings, h.264 option is lost. It was the most suitable codec for me to have films to upload on Instagram, FB and etc.
When I try the H.264 codec on Media Encoder, the colors are different, more pastel. Also, I tried QT – Animation codec and still, reds lose their saturation. How should I have small sized but fast exports?
Best,

to export H.264 you can either use AME or other 3rd party encoder or plugin.
AfterCodecs allows you to render x.264 (superior H.264 encoder) right from Ae, or you could use Handbrake which is a free software (export QT Animation, then use Handbrake).
as for the pastal look. try this: import the from AME file back to Ae, are the colors still wrong? this should be your test.
QT Animation should have produce a very accurate results (far better than a compressed codec like H.264) so can’t really be sure what’s wrong here.
and…. you can still use AE 2017 for exports if you insists. (you would have to save as – save copy as CC (14) to use a CC2018 Project)

When I import the exported file on AE, it looks more vibrant. What does that mean?

it means the file colors are fine, and the problem is in whatever platform you are watching it in (if the files are not changed, then it’s your browser) and unless you can change the platform, there’s nothing to be done from this point because the file is fine.
