Hi guyz I m having a serious problem, at least for myself. I’ve had been using After Effects for a while and I didn’t see anything like this ever before. It’s maybe because I’ve just installed it on my new computer. Anyways the problem is… I have a composition to render in After Effects, now that I’m finished working on it, I want to render it. Now that I’ve got my composition in Render Queue and when I go to the Output Module to Select my desired Format. In the format list I see every other format e.g(Wmv, JPEG Seq, Mp3, Quicktime) but there is no H.264. Is there anyway I could get it installed in my new computer? I Luv H.264 Format :/ Looking for a positive reply. Thanx Usman
 [Ben Ward] “I do not have an option for H.624 in the drop down menu and on the drop down menu on the Quicktime option. Please help” Ben, you just posted in a 2-year-old thread. This was probably worth a new post. Assuming you are running Ae CC, the H.264 exporter was deprecated because it is buggy and not as good as Adobe Media Encoder. You might consider rendering to an intermediate, or rendering your Ae comp directly from AME instead. However, if you are really set on rendering directly to H.264 from Ae, you can get it back in the preferences. Check Preferences > Output > Show Deprecated Formats In Output Module Settings. Complex software applications like After Effects, Premiere Pro, and other video tools use hardware and system resources differently. These apps talk to the system components, such as the GPU, more often than other apps like a word processor or an email client. Most of this happens in the background without the user knowing. Software development is an ongoing process. No software is bug-free when it's released to the public. Bug fixes drive software updates along with other enhancements. While installing software updates automatically is recommended for most casual users, we should always take time to read the release notes. Your Nvidia 526.98 driver update release notes PDF has 38 pages with dedicated sections for Fixed Issues, Open Issues, What's New, and more. Driver updates are more frequent and affect apps differently. The Game Ready driver, for instance, is optimized for games. The Studio driver, in comparison, is optimized for production software. Nvidia created two different drivers for a reason. Sometimes, an update causes a new issue that is not identified during testing. That's when companies like Nvidia, Adobe, Intel, Apple, etc., talk to each other and share these issues. Depending on the root cause, a fix comes from either company. Again, most of this happens behind the curtains, and users don't know about it. They shouldn't be! After all, we want our users to focus on creativity and leave the technicality to us. I know it might seem to you that this issue is with After Effects 2023 because the timing of these updates closely aligns with each other. Unless you are 100% sure that you started experiencing the problem after using AE 2023 for the first time AND your Nvidia driver didn't update itself automatically in the background, then it could be an issue with After Effects that we need to investigate. As a few users in this discussion confirmed, it seems like the issue could be related to the Nvidia driver update. Maybe not the latest Nvidia update but the one before that. As I mentioned, we're investigating it and will share an update as soon as possible. |
