H264 in After Effects

[Angelo Lorenzo]

Just the codec. Depending on what program you use may, however, determine which advanced controls are available in the codec’s properties.

H264 encoder do interframe(or temporal) compression. I would suggest to use Media Encoder for rendering.

Add and manage items in the encoding queue

Is that a quality decision? There is proof of AE adding a very very slight contrast adjustment to h.264, does that bypass?

Or was the problem that AE didn’t allow 2-pass encoding?

Thanks for all the great input. Looks like I’ll be trying Adobe Media Encoder. I don’t know why I never learned about that to begin with. I’m trying to get the best quality for my Vimeo upload, but apparently Vimeo re-encodes the file anyways. I don’t understand how there is such professional looking quality on that site, but my upload quality always gets stomped on.

I’d like to know why did they remove the h264 encoding in After Effects CC. I know you can in THEORY export the video to Media Encoder but the short cut “Export using Adobe Encoder” is just not working.

I truly loved the h264 encoding specially in 10mps depth because it was so light, easy to transfer and with a great great quality. Any way, I guess I just can’t stay in the past. Is there a way I can render my video/animation with the quality and weight the good ol’ h264 had?
