    you’ll have to render out using the Animation codec, then convert the file to something smaller if you need it to be smaller. You can’t get the effect rendering it to a file that only supports 8 bit color.

    so you mean to say that my adjustment layers wont render out unless i use a 32 bit channel and render as an Animation (which is huge file!)

    right

    Although Animation is still not a 32 bit codec, it gets closer for this purpose.

    Anything else that I know of is 8 bit. If you can find another codec that ouputs files that are smaller, then you can render to that.

    Once rendered, you can bring the movie file into After Effects or another program to convert it to a smaller sized file with a different codec, because the effect will have been written into the movie file.
