After Effects Render Settings

1. Video Format - Quicktime movie

2. Compression Type - Photo JPEG

this gives you quality that's pretty much as good as its going to get, and also very reasonable file sizes, rather than 300mb for about 5 seconds as you get with the uncompressed default.

obviously the quality will depend on your project preferences, and there are alternative ways of getting good quality/small file sizes, but this is how i do, so it might help a few people out...

any questions, comment or message.

When utilizing after effects for a frag movie as a tool, do people grab 1 clip put it in aftter effects, then render it, and THEN put in Sony vegas or whatever editing tool they use? Or do people JUST USE after effects to edit a whole frag movie? (I would think they only use it for clips, but im new to after effects so I figured I'd ask. Thanks in advance to anyone who answers.

@crazyspooks10 it depends to be honest

but i would say that rendering out in AE before any editing is a waste of time

[crazyspooks10]

@Raafe360 So would you recommend just using AE and putting effect in it and editing the whole movie there? I'm just curious because im still learning. I dont wanna pre-render over and over in AE and putting them in Sony Vegas to make the final movie, but if thats how it's suppose to be done i'll do it.

[Raafe360]

@crazyspooks10 only use after effects for things that require it. for example specific effects that you can only create with AE, render those out, then import them into your main project in vegas.

or at least thats what i think is the best way of doing it.

i did this an i got a 10,97 Go file -_-

@LynxMK1 that was because AE doesn't show final size, now I render with Adobe Media Encoder and it shows.

[LynxMK1]

@izvarzone compress it?

[TheJCRfilms]

@crazyspooks10 there are lots of editors that make the whole montage in after effects for example iduel who made ladtage doess that.

I'm more comfortable using after effects to render good effects and then putting everything together in a simpler program like sony vegas

I hate the 2Gb limit, becaues I had to re-render video with lower quality, after 2 hour rendering.
