Just an FYI with my tests.

I tried exporting out using an aftercodecs preset I made for mp4 at 70%

The segments all rendered well, but when it came time to stitch them all
together, it only ever errored out. Tried a few different times.  I'm
guessing it has to do with the way aftercodecs uses Ffmpeg to make its
renders first, and render garden trying to send those through Ffmpeg again.

What's a good codec to use on PC that'll save me space while using
rendergarden to do the final mp4? I don't want to make a 4 minute video in
a format that makes huge file sizes to then stitch together to the small
one just for sending proofs to clients and stuff. Would like to save space
overall during the process.

Also would be cool for RG to remove all the segmented renders and seed
folder when it's done stitching the final together. Just to save space and
time.
