How should after effects be rendered?

Question

Adobe After Effects

Good afternoon, I downloaded a project in which I put my music, text and pictures and it turned out to be a good slideshow. Of course with animations from AE. The video is 1 minute 10 seconds long. I set the render to the best quality and 1920x1080. The render took 10 minutes, as a result, my video for 1.1 minutes weighs 21GB)). Yes, of course, the quality is very cool) the detailing is just pleasing, but even on my i7 it started to turn on the percentage by 100% and it hung, and once it crashed because 8GB is not enough :). The question is how to save correctly in order to upload the video to YouTube or Vimeo (video presentation) I would be glad if you tell me exactly what settings). adobe after effects cc 2018

Answer 1

You need to download the official add-on from Adobe - Adobe media Encoder. There is a huge selection of codecs, there are even special blanks for vimeo and YouTube. I usually choose the h.264 codec there and a 30 second video weighs about 25mb.
