I agree that AME can be a dog's dinner depending on which options and hardware you are using (e.g. We've already seen what happens when trademark lawyers get in touch with Adobe. So in terms of H.264 encoding (or any other codec) there is nothing of value to 'buy out', and since ffmpeg is GPL-licensed code Adobe cannot integrate it into their products without a Pandora's Box of legal issues - not least the fact that ffmpeg violates Apple's trademarks by encoding ProRes.

You can do the same thing yourself for free, you're paying for a user interface that manages the workflow automatically. They simply tell AE to render a frame sequence (you can run that as a set of parallel jobs, hence the lauded speed improvements), then they pass the folder of images to ffmpeg's command-line encoder. or if a great restaurant didn't supply cutlery.ĪfterCodecs and RenderGarden are just wrappers for ffmpeg. It would be like if Maya didn't let you render. Management should seriously consider this. I'm trying to remember if I hit any strange buttons or did something weird, but nothing out of the ordinary comes to mind.I would suggest that Adobe buy out and integrate After Codecs. This just suddenly happened while I was working on the project and before everything was fine. When I look at the proxy meter it often only loads half way or to less and doesn't continue loading.

Aside to the problem (or probably this comes together) when I play the preview animation the preview has blurry frames as if they're only half quality and it lags a bit.

When I hit the export button he immediately finishes the export while a week ago it would take a couple of seconds and I'm left with a quicktime of only one frame that's only a few kb. When I look at my export page, it's just the same as ever, it's on animation (no single image or sequence) and I marked out several frames or the entire thing (about 60 frames). I'm completely puzzled and don't know what to do. I'm very concerned that today TVpaint has only been exporting my project to 1 frame quicktimes.
