Highest rendering quality?
many people say that after effects isnt very good with renders and mine cant seem to render in h.264 format. Ive seen some suggestions that people should render in highest quality then compress with a different program. So im just wondering for windows which format would be best to render in with after effects for best quality.

For windows or mac, without a doubt, you want to run a jpeg or another similar picture-per-frame sequence, for the BEST quality. However, the file sizes are gigantic, so unless you have a lot of hard drive or server, I would suggest using a quicktime movie with the ‘animation’ preset selected, the file size will still be relatively small, and you’ll barely notice a difference in quality.
Aharon Rabinowitz does a great job covering all sorts of video compression settings (not just for the web) in his COW Master Series DVD, “Internet Killed the Video Star.” -
I render out an avi with Huffyuv codec, then encode with x264 in Megui.
