  • H264 output White Frames? .mp4?

    Posted by Quentin Block on May 23, 2009 at 10:15 pm

    Hi,
    I’m outputting some sample movies from AE using H.264 format in Output Module settings.
    Orig comp was 720×540 @29.97fps.
    Outputting (stretch) to 640 x 480 and nu frame rate at @25 fps (for better playback from CD or flash drive)
    At the end of the clip, which fades to black, there’s always a white frame. Even if I shorten the work area and re-render it ends/holds on a white frame.
    Any way to avoid having the white? Kind of jarring. Prefer black.
    Also, after this rendering it adds the extension .mp4 instead of .mov or .h264.
    Does that seem right?
    Thanks for any advice.
    QB

    We see similar posts often, people using AE as a transcoder to create a delivery file. It’s just not something I’d ever bother doing. Render your effects sequences and movies, assemble them in a video editor, output a reference or compiled movie, bring that into an encoder and process.
