Thanks Nick, your tutorials always come handy when you we don’t know what is happening with AE.

I would prefer to see slight bending than noticeable animated noise in the video.

It’s screenflow and I love it.

Hey. Thank you for the tutorial, real help.. well just a little off course question. I really like you screen capture software, what is the name of it, if you could share it please thank you.

This is a really cool tutorial, except most people I’ve seen who own After Effects have Flash and it’s FLV encoder. This point is moot if that’s the case right? I would think one would export at the highest rez and then scale down during final compression.

However, I’m curious about trying to use the same technique for bitmap movie clips in Flash. That would be great if it helps when you really have to squash images for banner campaigns.

Thanks Nick!

Hey Gorilla,

I already was familiar with the grain option, but the other ones are really good tips. Thanks a lot. Keep on going, because I really love this site and learn a lot.

But I have 2 questions. 1 on topic and 1 not so on topic.

Question 1: I have this video here: http://www.vimeo.com/10108139
You see that there are a lot of artifacts in there. I could try the 16 bit option and maybe that will help, but do you have any other tips to make this better?
The compressed H.264 version looks fine and on Youtube the video looks a bit better. It’s Vimeo that compresses it too much.
I hope you have any ideas to make this better.

Question 2: Is there a special reason why you have the color of the AE UI so bright?
I prefer dark UI in After Effects, Cinema 4D and other software. But is bright better, or is it a personal choice?

Do you mean quality as far as the work? Or only in reference to how large it is? I got into motion graphics when MK12 only had 320×240 versions of their work on their site. I don’t think resolution has much to do with impact, actually.
