Rylleman is asking you if you want to create animation for web, tv, hd, etc. All depends of that.TheRoger wrote:I'm going to create Anime. I just wonder what other uses for exporting with best qoality and lowest size.

My favorite is Quicktime with H264, plays on any platforms with good quality and generally size is small enuf.
monster_shadows_final_H264 283 kb
AS Pro, at least for me, does not produce working H264 files, so I render animation format full quality then use Quicktime Pro to produce the H264 file.
Quicktime files can be streaming, here is a url where they show you how

For TV, usually mpeg2 at 15 mb/s, DVD quality is not broadcast quality, not even close
The DV format, which is lower broadcast quality is 4 mb/s

Yes, selgin has it correct. It depends totally on what you are going to use the animation for.
For example, for broadcast work I export only single frames (BMPs) and combine in my editor (Adobe Premiere Pro). The frame resolution is totally dependent on my final output (for widescreen work I use 854x480, which is the closest to 16:9 aspect ratio as you can get). If I were doing HD I'd use HD ratios, of course (1280x720 most likely).
Now -- even when I do stuff for the web I work this way, but then I export my final stuff from my editor (using H264 codec, settings of around 4mbps average output rate, MP4 file type).

720X540 for NTSC or 768 X 576 for Pal
I suggest outputting to TGA then import as sequences or uncompressed video and sound for animation with sound
There are some free video converters that can produce DVD ready mpeg2 files, like virtualdub-mpeg2 which can be found all over the web, you'll also need an ac3 encoder, preferablly, since they work better with DVD compared to MP3
Hope this helped!
