I have been having problems achieving a decent crispy video from my AE composition
it is a graphic pencil drawing come to life with a lot of sharp details and grain too.
I have tried rendering from AE via AME with the presets,
or even manually adjusting with VBR ,2PASS 10,12
and I cant get the grain and the fine details
I see in the high quality large file version.
I have tried rendering a high quality version (photo jpeg 100% from AE) and that I compressed
in sorenson squeeze with multipass and still the grain is not as sharp as it should be.
so I would like to sort this mess and while I am at - reinforce my render decisions on Lossless video as well.
would like to have a survey among you guys.
my questions are:
1. what is your export option for lossless high quality video for further editing purposes?
streaming quality is not important.
my answer is:
Quicktime animation for 8bit
Png sequence for 16bit
Render through AE
2. what is your export option for high quality viewing purposes HD video?
say for showing in a presentation or exhibition.
file size doesnt have to be small and streaming quality is important.
my answer is:
H264 with very high bitrate
3. what is your export option for sending for client video that maintains
high quality (grain especially) or for uploading for youtube/Vimeo
streaming quality and low file size are important
my answer is:
H264: Render through AME
HD720 2Pass VBR 6,8
HD1080 2Pass VBR 10,12
or Render through Sorenson squeeze multipass (which take forever)
Thanks
