| deliver MP4's which AME can do. MP4's will work native on windoze back to XP. AME can use a watch folder which would make this simple. otherwise adobe apps don't see F4M as a codec. don't say how many times its been FR'd. the alternative may in fact be to buy an older PC and set that up S On Jul 21, 2013, at 7:30 PM, "Chris Zwar" <chris@chriszwar.com> wrote: > Hi, > > This is a bit OT, but compression isn't normally my thing. > > I'm working on a project where we will be supplying roughly 1000 individual clips as wmvs. We're all working on Macs with no Windows machines around, and rendering from After Effects to image sequences. > > Just wondering what the best tool is to convert / compress the image sequences to wmvs. The main thing we want is one where we can save the render queue and selectively re-queue items as they are revised. I guess in my mind I think of the After Effects render queue, where you can tick and un-tick items, or re-queue items to render again and so on. The thing is that these clips will be tweaked, rendered, revised, re-rendered and so on. So it's not just a matter of doing a batch conversion once, it's a matter of selectively revising and re-delivering over a period of weeks. We will always be rendering the image sequences to the same "final" folder, so the source files won't be moving. > > We will purchase flip-4-mac licences to render to wmvs, but not really sure about what the options are to work from image sequences and being able to save a batch compression queue. We have compressor somewhere, and can easily download MPEG streamclip. I haven't really played around with the Adobe Media Encoder to know what it's capable of. Not sure if I can convince them to spring for something like Squeeze, but if it's really awesome then maybe I can. > > It will be tedious to set up 1000 compressions so I really only want to do it once... any suggestions are welcome. > > Cheers, > > > -Chris > > > > > +---End of message---+ > To unsubscribe send any message to <ae-list-off@media-motion.tv> |
