Make sure once the export is done, by importing it on After Effects export from After. The AE team is pretty tiny, so putting their resources towards making AE work better at VFX, compositing, and motion graphics, and letting the Adobe Media Encoder team work on encoding things makes sense to me. ( CERTAINLY DO NOT use the Quicktime format with the H264 codec ). If you talk to a lot of the old-timers around here, they'll tell you that AE's h.264 encoder was buggy and didn't do a good job. Here's the Adobe Blog post about the removal: using Adobe Media Encoder to create H.264, MPEG-2, and WMV videos from After Effects So, I will work in CC 2015 to enjoy the snappier interface and then open that project file in CC 2014 to render it with multiprocessing (since my system can utilize that feature really well in most projects). Runs on all platforms - Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Unix, iOS.

This is because AE CC 2014 has multiprocessing. Plays most codecs with no codec packs needed - MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, MKV, WebM, WMV, MP3. In this quick tutorial I show you step by step how to render footage using the h.264 codec in Adobe After Effects CC. You can either render to an intermediate codec from AE or send your AE comp directly to the Adobe Media Encoder. After Effects no longer encodes directly into H.264 (it didn't do a great job of it in the past).
