Rendering in AfterEffects: Files way too big

dirtyblueFL · 08-31-2009, 09:35 AM

Hello, im using After effects 6.5 with the Quicktime H.264 HD compression.

When i render in HD, my files are far too large for most hosting sites and my videos are denied by Warcraftmovies for file size per minute.

my current rendering stats are:
30FPS
Limit data rate to 1000 KBytes/s
Best quality
1280 x 720

With those settings i just rendered a 2 minute intro and the file size came to be 124MB and the quality was hardly above "good" IMHO when watching it.

EDIT: I just reduced the res to 800 x 520 and still got the same 124 MB file size. What do i doooo!?

Isnt there a way to insert "I want my file size to equal ____" and then just hit render?

Help me get my file size down, IDC if i have to use a new compressor, i just want to upload in HD with a small file size.
