Made less than 5MB of good quality
Hello to all,
I post here because I have to export a component After Effects and finally obtain a file under 5MB, Very good. And that is where the problems begin. I have a 30MB Export, If I pass PAR Export QuickTime h264 uncompressed, And the quality is good.
However, I can not reduce the size of my file without losing much quality. I tried to move PAR Queue renderings, PAR export by restricting the flow a bit and tried all the options and I'm at an impasse. Do you have any advice for me ?My file is in 16:9, 1024×576 and there are many important pictures and some videos.
Thank you in advance.

My composition lasts 30 seconds and has an “integral” resolution, each vertical and horizontal pixel is took into account.
I don’t know if that can help you… -
I hope you’re not exporting from After Effects but using the Render Queue instead.
Depending on which platform you are on, and what applications you have available, there are several options for optimizing file size and quality.
Understand this: any form of compression (other than RLE) will result in a compromise between file size and quality, it’s inevitable when you are discarding data.
If you have Apple Compressor try rendering the After Effects file with no compression (Animation, highest quality) then passing it to Compressor for H264 rendering. You can preview the results and tweak the settings before submitting the job compression. I’ve found that Compressor, while slower, does a better job than Adobe Media Encoder in terms of file size / quality.
If you have Media Encoder you can also preview and tweak the settings before encoding.
The final file size depends entirely on the type of images, motion, color (i.e. large expanses of a single color compress well to small file sizes) and audio in the file.

The best solution I have tried is to make a render with a 720*576 size and to limit the rate at 1000kb/s.
I tried to cut the sequence and to compress the different parts of it but it didn’t work very well…
Maybe I used bad settings.
