    Hey, I’m in a bit of a pinch here. My AE export didn’t work last night which means that I have no video this morning.

    What’s a codec I could use (exporting from AE) that’s quick and will look decent? It only has to look good on like a 5in display.

    Please help! I only have two hours.

    Oh, the spot is 30 sec and it takes (estimated time) 18 hrs to export when set to best, losless.

    okay. I’ll try that.

    Sorry, when I said “export” I was refering to the render queue.

    I’ll try those settings though.

    Thanks!

    Render at Best Quality, Half res, 15fps (if 30 is normal) to save time if you want 320×240, 15 fps.

    Otherwise, if you do Best, Full res, 30 fps, it won’t matter what codec or output module size you use — it’ll still be an 18 hour render.

    Okay, I’ll give it a shot.
