after effects cs5 - quicktime h264 of very large file size

Hello

I wonder if someone can recommend a codec quicktime good for very small file sizes, for overview makes.

project in progress - my wmv renders out approximately 10 MB and of reasonable quality that is excellent.

some of my clients have flip for mac, so I have to make a quicktime.

the quicktime h264 out much more than expected. same timeline, pixel dimensions and speed = approximately 150 MB and a similar quality.

I thought that in the past my QT h264 renders were perhaps double the size of my wmv file renders more leap of 15 x.

am I missing something really obvious?

pixel size = 1000 x 250,

frame rate = 30 images/s,

Timeline = 4 m 30 s

H264 quality = 50%

Audio = aac stereo

using after effects cs5, win7 pro

Thanks in advance

s

the file size is directly related to the baud rate at which you are encoding, not the size of the image or images per second. So, if you want a 10 sec clip to be 15 MB (excluding noise), divide 15 MB at 10 s and get you 1.5 Mbps bit rate, or 12 Mbps. You can get a better quality if you encode 2-pass VBR with a maximum bitrate set to what you calculated previously.

In any case, it is usually best to make your comp to a losless format (QT none, or TGA sequence, etc.) and then compress your video with Media Encoder. In this way, you can play with the settings for H.264 until you get an acceptable result, without having to make EI every time.

  • After Effects CS5 stuck to the Windows 10 1511 homescreen

    I had been using After Effects CS5 on Windows 10 smoothly for several weeks.  A few days ago I have upgraded to Windows 10 version 1511 (a major update), and now when I launch After Effects, the splash screen is stuck at "Initializing MediaCore."  It never makes it beyond that.  I searched and tried all the troubleshooting methods that I could find.  I have reinstalled QuickTime.  I reinstalled After Effects.  I've updated After Effects.  I have reset and delete the Preferences folder.  I have disabled the firewall.  I rebooted.  I went through the suggested troubleshooting steps.

    Any suggestions or ideas on what could be the problem?  On a perhaps related note, after I updated Windows 10, I had a very strange problem a few times: when I started in Windows, the music started to come out of the speakers.  A little later, I heard static-y voice in speakers.  It was like this by the blue, no Spotify or anything I know.  My laptop picked up somehow radio waves?  Was it a bizarre kind of spyware?  Since then, I scanned with spyware.  Thanks for reading!

    I found the problem after watching Process Monitor from Microsoft.  I had to uninstall Matrox codecs that I had installed quite earlier.  I tried to uninstall/reinstall Quicktime, but failed to remove the Matrox codecs.

  • reading files AVCHD in After effects CS5

    I have After Effects CS5 and when I try to import AVCHD in my composition, it won't let me it is said:

    After effects error: file *. MTS cannot be imported - this ".mts" file is damaged or not supported.

    but I know that the file is very though I can play on quicktime and windows media player perfectly so I don't know why it won't work

    so to put it simply;

    Why used my After Effects CS5 importing AVCHD / mts files?

    It is from a camera not supported or something else happens on your system, in particular CoDec conflict. Eitehr way, you need to provide much more information.

  • After effects CS5 hangs when previewing or made

    I installed after effects CS5 on my mac yesterday evening and it crashes whenever I want to listen to samples or make a sequence. I have CS4 installed on the same machine and the same project works very well. I talked to Adobe support three times and went through the same issues with them (three times) and nothing seems to help.

    I installed the same copy of After effects on my laptop and it works very well - the laptop is running OS 10.6.2 and my main machine is running 10.6.3

    I tried to delete the prefs and Open GL drivers, but they also do nothing to help

    Any ideas would be most appreciated?

    You have a bad Quicktime CoDec / component, a plugin obsolete, a bad police or an extension of the system / assistance program is not compatible with Snow Leopard and bunks in turn upward of AE. These assumptions cover 90% of all options. Maybe you can provide some info base on these suspicions...

  • After Effects CS5 - Keylight 1.2 pipette crashes on me!

    Recently, I worked on an independent project and I created some green screen footage and tried to edit it in After Effects.
    After that I added the effect 1.2 Keylight to my images, I went to the Eyedropper to click on it and then it crashes on me and gives me an error and stops completely After Effects!

    I managed to take a screenshot of the error popup so that way you guys can see for yourselves.

    Keying Eyedropper_Error.png

    I thought that, maybe, it has the. MP4 video.  So, I converted the video to a .avi file and tried to apply the same Keylight effect again.  Once I clicked on the pipette, it gave me the same message again and stops After Effects.  I thought maybe it was only the video files that cause problems?  So, I thought I tried a green screen image, and the error came again.  Maybe it's the project file?  Nope.  I started a new publication and added in the video in the composition, added tried 1.2, Keylight effect by selecting the pipette and once more... it still gives me the error.

    The problem is not video or image.  It's the Keylight 1.2 pipette that is causing the error.  I thought that, maybe, I need to update my laptop?  Updated, still the same problem.  The next thing I did was trying to find a way to solve this problem online.  I noticed that there is an update for Adobe After Effects CS5 update 10.0.02.  So, I updated to After Effects and restarted my laptop.  When I went back in After Effects and still applied the same effect and when I tried selecting the eyedropper... gives me an error... once again.

    I'm sorry if this sounds a little repetitive, but I wanted to be thorough in my explanation that I can try to find a solution to this problem.  I really need this to work again because I'm working on a very important project.  It's weird, the Keylight 1.2 never gave me any problems in the past.  It works perfectly at the time.  So, why he does not correctly now?

    If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it!  Thank you!

    Let me guess, you use Yosemite or newer on your operating system?

    If so, be aware that CS5.5 and earlier are not supported on this OS, so should have weird bugs.

    That being said, go to your preferences and change the use System Color Picker setting and see if that helps.

  • No Audio in after effects CS5.5 (Even after rendering)

    I currently have the Trial Version of After Effects CS5.5 installed. I'm under a bad audio problem. For the first 2 days, that I used it, the sound was fine, he played automatically and I didn't even have to make the first to get it. Then, on the third day I had this day and the audio just hard did not. I have search on the forums and google, and nothing helps. I tried to make (with audio), using clips and different video files and same reinstaling the trial. Nothing has worked. The sound plays fine RAM Preview and when I double click 'L', the soundwaves do not show, and that they are accurate when played on the preview. I tried WMV, AVI files and mp4, which none have worked. I can edit and add effects and import the photo and other files fine, but audio does not work. I have no audio playing normally.

    I know that it is not usual to ask questions about the trial, or even to have the answers, but it's important because I want to buy After Effects CS5.5, and before I do, I need to know whether it was a computer problem, or if I did something to mess up the program, or if there is even a way to solve it. I don't want to buy it and realize that I can not even use it with audio for some reason any.

    P.S. I'm pretty new to this, so if you blows me with complex, very detailed instructions, please try to make it simple enough, or simply explain it well.

    Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience,

    Chris Madaras

    > I have no audio when playing normally.

    You said that the audio played when you used the RAM Preview. It's the way you play audio.

    See this:

  • After effects CS5 startup error

    Hi, I recently downloaded the trial of After Effects CS5 for Mac OS X (64-bit). I installed everything correctly (I think) and I tried to launch the program, because I was very excited because I've heard great things about this program. I was unhappy to see an error starting pop up that says this, "After Effects WARNING: unknown error invalid BIB encoding, BRV, 0 (83: 3)" I think it would be that I downloaded the 64 bit instead of 32, but I think that I am running on 64-bit (Mac OS X Macbook 13 in Pro) , but I don't know. Little help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    -John (AdobeAddict17)

    There is no 32-bit version of CS5, but it's really not important. OSX applications 64-bit since 10.5.x and 10.6.x is native 64-bit. So no problems on this end. The error you see is a generic drawing mistake which may be due to a misconfiguration of your graphics hardware or problems of rendering of fonts. in the latter case, can help remove unnecessary fonts, graphical config for an update of the system may have a newer driver. Also make sure you have Verdana size police on your system. This has been known to be a problem with OSX 10.6, because it does not install the default font.

  • After Effects CS5 hangs at startup

    After Effects CS5 (MAC, German trial version) needs 5-10 minutes to start, hangs on the message 'MediaCore wird initialisiert. On another Mac (macbook small!), it works fine. I did a reinstall, no effect. No plugins are installed.

    Thank you guys.  It looks like both you have a similar problem with a third party AVI codec.  If please remove or uninstall third party such as DivX, XVid, AVI codecs etc. of your system and try again AE.

    You can also temporarily disable these components by closing all QT apps and then drag the components out of the Library/QuickTime folder on your boot drive.   If it works, try adding them back one by one until it fails again.  This is the codec problem.

  • None of my text is rendered. After Effects CS5

    I'm doing a minute-long video portfolio that uses animations, fades and interpolations of base. Any format I save it in, After Effects render text, but which makes all the rest. I use After Effects CS5. I am new to the program so I don't know if I am missing a setting, but I can't find answers.

    Thanks a lot for any assistance.

    Hmmmm... I forgot that if CS 5.5 had Guide layers in it, but she certainly your text layers are somehow given in the form of guide layers - it seems that they make.  See Help on your machine AE 1) see if you can guide layers and 2) see if you did.

    Hi Samuel,.

    Yes, usable only between the same dynamic link versions products. You can complete rditing and export a first Pro CC and take it to After Effects for further editing, but dynamic linking is not possible in this case.
