Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Squeeze

  • Posted by Richard Bachman on April 25, 2007 at 7:43 pm

    I’ve downloaded (and subsiquently ordered) Squeeze. I’m still working through the demo trying to get a handle on different settings, etc (the end result will go into an Authorware program so I may be limited to my file formats.)

    There seems to be a limitation on the size of the output renders I’ve done – even when I set different perimeters under “formats” – is this simply a purposeful limitation (like the watermark)? or am I missing something.

    Any experienced users out there?

    Are you talking about Sorenson Squeeze? The transcoder program? If not, sorry.

    If so, I’ve been using it for a couple years now. There aren’t any limitations (at least I’ve been able to do what I need to) or watermarks I’ve seen. I have a licensed copy that was bundled with Avid.

    Yep – that’s the one…

    Essentially, I have a 720×486 30fps :05 logo animation I’ve created as my test. It’s original output size from After Effects is 95.6MB. When I run it through all the .swf output settings (just to get a full sampling of file sizes & quality for example) I don’t get various .swf files at 720×486 – most are about a quarter of that size (regardless of the settings I make in the “formats/new” menu.)

    Obviously there’s a lot about Squeeze I need to learn but it shows great promise (a fine looking .swf -albeit smaller formatted – is only 13K)… I cannot fathom how a file can go from 95MB to 13K w/ such little quality degredation…
