Encoding from After Effects

Post by mcat »

Hi!
Newbie here. I'm trying to add watermarks to some videos from online courses I made.
Original video Specs:
Lenght: 1h 40m
Size: 200MB
Bitrate: 250kbps

I used After Effects to put the watermark. When I send it to Adobe Media Encoder, I set a constant bitrate (CBR) at 0.25 Mbps. But the final size ends up being about 2.5GB in size, and with a Bitrate about 2800 - 3000 kbps.

Is there a way to use Handbrake as an encoder from my After Effects projects?
thanks!

Sure, try rendering to a professional intermediate format such as ProRes and feed that to HandBrake.

Still, what kind of display resolution and content are we talking about? Unless it's a slide show or something similar many encoders will fail to reach a 250 Kbps target.
