Reduce render file size in After Effects CC 2017 I'm using Adobe After Effects CC 2017 and I want to reduce the render file size. However, I Googled all day and I cannot find any for CC 2017. All of them says that change the format to H.264 but we cannot do that in CC 2017. Please help me.
To render H.264 it's actually very easy.


From your Project window, select the sequence you wish to render.
Right click->Export Media (or File->Export Media)
In the Video tab, select H.264 for format


Then, in the basic video settings below, you can change to smaller-than-original resolution, low bit rates, etc.

If you are trying to export a Quicktime file that uses H.264, that's much more challenging.  When you select Quicktime, Premiere Pro gives you a useless menu of Presets that were relevant for about six months during the early 1990s.  Ignore all of them, as they are stupid.  Instead, look down to where there's a Video Codec selector.  Click on that and you'll see tons of options, including H.264.
