Sorry, no. AE is a compositor – each element gets its own individual layer/track.
A dissolve is two layers interacting; you can rebuild the transition (using opacity kf), but you can’t actually get it to transfer over.

I think your problem is this: [John Phillips] “768Kbps. “
For HD of this size, you’re probably going to need to change that to around 3000-5000 kbs. This will make the resulting file at least 5-8x larger.
I’d also probably switch the 1Pass CBR to 2pass VBR
Hmm – at the bottom you’re set to Automatic Data rate as well, that shouldn’t be. Either your at a specific data rate (768) or a generic setting (Automatic).

Hmm, so it only does this for a DV project? That’s odd.
Could the DV project think it’s outputting via DV/FireWire?
Do you have a camera/deck attached that might be confusing it?

ProRes Proxy will run you about 3-4 min/GB (that’s the most compressed ProRes.)So you need to encode to another format to meet your goal – of 25 min into 1 Gig and have it playable on a system.
If you send your work to Compressor, you can use the Youtube preset, which will make an h.264 QuickTime file that will meet your needs – something that is significantly smaller, but looks great during playback.

MacRumors buyer’s guide says wait. IF you want ot spend the money, buy the faster iMac (because I think it can hold more ram than a MBP) and as much RAM as you can afford.

September 1, 2011 at 3:35 am in reply to: Compressor setting to keep 1920×1280 size, but render much smaller file for laptop/iMac viewing?Maybe. If you’re running h.264, you could use the Youtube preset, which should give you a data rate of around 20mb/s and should result in a file of around 3gb in size. This is with compressor 5; let us know if it’s an earlier version.

Google “Wiggler After effects” and I think you’ll be fine.
