h264 in ae
hello all,
im wondering if anyone has a solution to my rendering problem in ae. im trying to render out a h264 compressed animation on a comp that is 1280/1024 px.
i cant seem to get my head around this, i cant change it to this size in the h264 window to match the same dimensions as the output.why is it like this, any help or speculation is most appreciated.
cheers

cheers, but is there even an aspect ration in the h264 setting? a screen dump would be appreciated

are you using square pixels?

yup, square pixels

hey,
cant see why the size of my comp has anything to do with h264 codec. i need to render out these dimensions, as simple as that.
the footage is an uncompressed .mov from c4d with an alpha.cheers

I tend to have better control by exporting an uncompressed version in AE, then doing my H264 export via Quicktime.
Hope this helps

again, as Dave asked, please provide more info… what is your comp size? what is your output size? are you rendering or exporting? is your render setting set to best? half? draft? more info please…

I also have better luck rendering out uncompressed from AE and then doing my H264 compression through Quicktime. This may also be helpful for you to troubleshoot your problem. If you export uncompressed and the pixel aspect ratio is still off then you know it’s a problem with your AE render, but if it looks fine then it’s an issue with your H264 compression settings. Plus Quicktime makes prettier H264 videos.
