I'm going to be lazy and abuse the PVN instead of looking this up. Can anybody give me the typical output settings for AFX so I can get small enough files to start uploading to the web?
I've got a 1 min. clip that's about 150 mb at 720x480.
I was taught to Add to Render Qeue, use Quicktime Movie, use Sorensic Video 3, and High quality, but the size is still a bit too big. Any help?

Not AE specific - but this software is golden:

Great FLV compression.

how small and quality do you want it?

I have had good luck with the H.264 codec. Gets the file size way down without losing too much quality. Also rendering at a lower frame-rate can slim things down a lot.

Thanks guys.
Is there anything I should ABSOLUTELY avoid to not risk losing insane quality for both video and audio?
And for a desired size? I'll have to be honest, I'm not really sure. I guess in the simplest answer, just the typical size of short movie trailers or motion reels. I mean, i've seen 4 minute snowboard trailers that are at most, 20 mb!

(Jun 14 07, 09:05)or the Mpeg-4 video..
but why don´t you use the flash8 video encoder?

Would the Flash 8 Video Converter still exist on Flash CS3?

output as a .mov or an .avi in AE then use something like sorenson squeeze to compress your file...
... AE 'compression' has always been garbage imho.
... and the on2 codec for flash is still pretty solid for pic quality and file size... :)

Greatly appreciated everyone. Now anybody up for critiquing? Haha..
