This plugin specializes in making encoding super easy in almost any various format.

Separately, it should be noted that the FFmpeg container may not be available on the user’s computer, and it will have to be downloaded additionally – fortunately, there is a corresponding option for downloading inside the program. If you’ve ever struggled to encode footage or get the correct format, check out AfterCodecs.

It will also be useful for the speed of processing that when rendering with AfterCodecs, you do not need to access the command line or be afraid of the application creating huge temporary files: the average rendering time is 15% faster than the QuickTime protocol. The exporter in question makes it possible to render not only faster, but also with a smaller output file size, which is achieved by using codecs such as ProRes, H264, H265 and HAP. The listed codecs allow you to refuse to use third-party software like QuickTime, exporting video, for example, for Youtube in quality up to 8K (and not 4K, like its counterparts). AfterCodecs uses FFmpeg to decode H264 and H265, giving the user the choice of fast decoding for previews or lower file size for final download. AfterCodecs is a specific add-on tool for After Effects, Premiere Pro and Media Encoder. At its core, this is a more advanced rendered video exporter that works faster and better than the stock engines of these programs.
