However if you export you sequence uncompress (which is what I understand by 1:1) then you will have a huge UNCOMPRESSED file. If you have the codec which you used to encode the original footage then outputting it with the same settings will produce the same file size.
#AFTER EFFECTS 5 AVI CODEC WINDOWS MANUAL#
Whatever you bring into AE you can apply any effects to you want (there are conditions and limitations but you will need read the manual for specifics). The file type input and the file type output are independant. do you mean that you want it to output the same file size that you put in? I think you need to understand a little about the way AE works to see why you are getting these problems. I'm ont sure what you mean by 1:1 though. In respons to your first question, AE can output pretty much any type of output. RE: Uncompressed Avi export file is HUGE! soniclight (TechnicalUser) 19 Jul 03 09:02
Help on both topics very much appreciated. This is pretty basic stuff, and yet I'm stumped. Since I have an older version of AE, I may have to backwards-translate the instructions, but should be able to figure it out. 6-10 seconds: dissolve from 100 to 0% opaque
#AFTER EFFECTS 5 AVI CODEC WINDOWS HOW TO#
Help files talk about frame dissolves, and so I'm confused as to where or how to tell this layer to do the above described: I want this title layer at 100% opaque for 5 seconds, then fade away during the the last 5 to 0%. Say I have 2 layers, and the top is 10 seconds title in duration. Maybe rendering the effects is the issue-however: if I DON'T choose "Direct Stream" in Virtual Dub, that program balloons the files 10x or more in size just like AE does, even with no effects or plugins used (straight copy). This is driving me nuts, for if a freeware program can do this, why can't a top of the line app. Q: Is there any way to have AE add effects and so on, yet still output and uncompressed file that is 1:1 file size ratio? The original is already pretty grainy due to camera used, and so compressing it will just make it worse. just a segment, etc.) Choosing this, if a file is 10% of input, output file size is also 10%. I use this freeware program called "VirutualDub" and there one can choose "Direct Streaming" when making an. I have an older version of AE (3.1), and am only using it temporarily until I get something easier to use for my non-commerical projects. avi issue as the initiator of this thread. 1, Any Way To Make Movie/Render to 1:1 File Size Ratio?
