Settings for E-mailing Proofs
I am trying to figuare out a good setting to e-mail proof spots to clients that look good, but won’t crash the e-mail servers.
Most of our videos are 30 seconds in length.
Does anybody have a good solution to rending out files for e-mailing?
Or
does anyone have a good solution for showing proofs to clients?
thanks for the support.

I render out lossless from AE and make .mp4’s through Visualhub. Unfortunately Visualhub is no longer available for download, so you would need to find it elsewhere.
Otherwise you can use compressor to make H.264 files.
Squeeze works well also, along with Episode too.

And, if you don’t care too much about quality, the new YouTube setup isn’t too bad. It can even do HD. There are, of course, problems with it
1. It may take an hour or two for it to process your file and make it HD available.
2. Private sharing is tricky
2a. You could also let it be public and assume that nobody’s going to stumble across it, but I have had some clients who would definitely not approve of that.
2b. You can make a video private between you and another user, but that requires them to be a YouTube member.– The Great Szalam

Same here, but I often open the lossless movie in QT Pro and compress from there.

I usually encode to .flv, post the spot to my website and then send the client a link to the spot. That way I don’t have to worry about the file size causing a problem on the client’s end. This also helps if you have clients in multiple locations that have to give approval. I recently completed a project which had to be completed in 48 hours and had to have approval from people in Illinois, Indiana and Georgia. I only had to upload the spot once, instead of 3 times.
