Rendering and export

Get finished work out of After Effects as an MP4. I'd use the Render Queue's H.264 output for a finished comp and Media Encoder when you want to keep working during the encode. The guide also renders part of a comp and fixes exports that stall or lose their sound.

    How to export a video from After Effects

    Export an H.264 MP4 directly from the Render Queue, or use Media Encoder to keep working. Choose bitrate, include audio and render the intended composition or work area.
