Adobe After Effects CC Tutorial : EP07 การ Export Render เป็น mp4 เพื่อไปใช้งาน

Introduction

Welcome to the seventh episode of our Adobe After Effects tutorial series. In this lesson, we’ll focus on how to render your work into a video file format, specifically MP4, for various uses such as video editing or personal projects. Let’s dive in!

Understanding the Rendering Process in After Effects

After completing your work in After Effects, the next step is rendering. Unlike other programs that simply allow you to save your work directly as a video file, After Effects requires a rendering process. Rendering converts your project into a video file that can be used externally.

Steps to Render as MP4

1. Open the Export Settings:

   • Navigate to File > Export. You will see two main options: Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue or Render Queue. We’ll demonstrate using both methods.

2. Using Adobe Media Encoder:

   • If you select Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue, a new window will pop up showing the encoder interface.
   • In Media Encoder, you can choose the format you want to export. For MP4, use the H.264 codec, which is compatible with platforms like YouTube and Facebook.

3. Render Your Video:

   • Select your desired output settings, including the video resolution and frame rate. For example, you might want to set the frame rate to 30 frames per second and the resolution to 1080p.
   • Choose an output location on your computer for the rendered file.

4. Starting the Render:

   • Once everything is set, click the Start Queue button in Media Encoder. The rendering process will begin, and the time it takes will depend on the complexity of your project and your computer’s hardware.

Exporting Directly via Render Queue

1. Using Render Queue:

   • If you choose Render Queue, it will bring up the rendering settings directly in After Effects.
   • Here you can set parameters such as the output format, video codec, resolution, and other related settings.

2. Finalizing the Output:

   • Once you configure the settings, you can click on the Render button, and After Effects will start processing your project into the specified format.

Quality Comparison

After rendering, you might notice a difference in file types. For example, MOV files (used by QuickTime) are larger and may have slightly different quality or compression ratios compared to MP4 files, which are more universally supported across platforms.

Conclusion

Rendering your After Effects projects into MP4 format allows you to easily share your work and utilize it across various platforms. By following the steps outlined above, you can ensure a smooth export process tailored to your needs.

FAQ

1. What is the difference between MP4 and MOV formats?

• MP4 is a widely supported format that compresses video efficiently, making it ideal for web use. MOV is typically larger and can provide higher quality but might not be as universally compatible.

2. Can I edit the video after rendering it?

• Once rendered, the video file is finalized. However, you can always go back to After Effects to make changes and render again.

3. How do I change the resolution of my export?

• In the rendering or exporting settings, look for the resolution options and select the desired resolution, such as 1080p or 720p.

4. Is rendering time affected by my computer’s specifications?

• Yes, rendering time can vary significantly based on your computer’s hardware, including CPU, GPU, and RAM.

5. Can I render in other formats besides MP4?

• Yes, After Effects supports various formats like AVI, QuickTime, and JPEG sequences, depending on your needs.
