So before moving to the fix, lets talk about the importance of h.264 codec and why we need it. H.264 is a video codec standard, which is also known as AVC. The AVC stands for Advanced Video Coding MPEG-4 PT 10. H.264 codec can achieve high quality video in relatively very low bit rates.
Hi guyz I m having a serious problem, at least for myself. I've had been using After Effects for a while and I didn't see anything like this ever before.
It's maybe because I've just installed it on my new computer. Anyways the problem is. I have a composition to render in After Effects, now that I'm finished working on it, I want to render it.
Now that I've got my composition in Render Queue and when I go to the Output Module to Select my desired Format. In the format list I see every other format e.g(Wmv, JPEG Seq, Mp3, Quicktime) but there is no H.264. Is there anyway I could get it installed in my new computer? I Luv H.264 Format:/ Looking for a positive reply. Ben Ward 'I do not have an option for H.624 in the drop down menu and on the drop down menu on the Quicktime option. Please help' Ben, you just posted in a 2-year-old thread. This was probably worth a new post.
Assuming you are running Ae CC, the H.264 exporter was deprecated because it is buggy and not as good as Adobe Media Encoder. You might consider rendering to an intermediate, or rendering your Ae comp directly from AME instead.
However, if you are really set on rendering directly to H.264 from Ae, you can get it back in the preferences. Check Preferences Output Show Deprecated Formats In Output Module Settings.
