ABSTRACT
Adobe Media Encoder There is an alternative to having After Effects render your compositions: Adobe Media Encoder (AME for short). Advantages include having it render in the background while you continue working in After Effects; a wide selection of presets for specialized media such as for Blu-ray discs, web video sites, or mobile devices; and the ability to automatically upload your renders to the cloud. AME also supports some formats such as .mp4 that After Effects no longer supports directly. On the downside, AME lacks some of the switches and options offered by the After Effects Render Queue, including color management.
