This project was executed in a few hours during my Motion Graphics class at ITT.
It needs audio and more work, but demonstrates what we can do in one class.
The project file uses CC Particle World and duplicated comps set to Overlay blending mode, Fast Blurs, scales, etc. The point light flickers using a script. The photograph was shot by myself at an EAST Austin Studio Tour. The file was rendered to sequential Targas, imported back into After Effects, then re-rendered to QuickTime 100% PNG.
Trish and Chris Myers deal with it.
Windows users link to download VideoLan x264 codec.
Adobe solutions regarding CS4.
Adobe suggest using a YUV codec (such as a DV or v210 codec).
Tip: Use a high-quality, lossless Quicktime codec like Animation or PNG to render a comp.
Then use a the Adobe Media Converter to compress to H.264 mpeg.
This is the MeGUI for x264.
As part of the install it includes AVISynth.
It might require you to download missing codec.
This has its own learning curve.
For now I am simply rendering to Targas, re-importing to After Effects, then rendering to QuickTime 100% PNG. The files are large but not as huge as Animation files.
The colors are great.
Another x264 GUI is StaxRip
Yet another free GUI for x264 and FFMpeg is FFCoder.
Color shifts and dull colors are a problem with After Effects renders.
Here is the PICVideo Motion JPEG codec.

The Austin Music Foundation will partner with the Dub Academy on East 5th to present a free orientation to Ableton Live. Stay tuned for details.
Join the Austin Adobe User Group’s March 9 meeting when Eli McMakin will
demonstrate his Optimized Photography Workflow using Bridge, ACR (Adobe
Camera Raw) and Photoshop CS 5.5. He will aggregate the RAW files in
Bridge, tweak them nondestructively in ACR, and output them through
Photoshop. He will demonstrate best practices for a photographic pipeline
and show how to decrease time spent fixing photos on the computer so that
you can spend more time making money.
Eli McMakin (elimcmakin.com) is a freelancer who does photography, design,
and creates Web sites. He shoots for the Texas Stars as well as sports
tournaments at different times of the year.
