Hi, new user here...So i just got a fdr ax1 and i love the Codec: XAVC-S and how the size is not big....
Then i go into after effects cc do all the effects i need and now this is the part im stuck on....So for rendering i picked lossless,quicktime,animation, but they makes the files so super big..as i render like im at 11.8gb so far for 400 frames of 5008....the whole file raw from my camera was only 1.8gb shot in 4k 60fps 150mb....
i tried to render with the lossless quicktime,and mpeg4 and h246 or w/e the number is with a high bitrate but the file size came out to around 500mb but with a loss of quality i can not accept....
Id like to render the video in after effects without the file turning into a monster 33+gb file and without losing quality...
Its a must i use after effects and am able to render good clips out in 4k(i know its not tru 4k)
i have no clue what other render settings to try and knew alot of you here have been using the ax1 and ax100 so maybe some 1 could really offer some help and understand what i mean...
so the next thing i wonder is if there is no other option then to make those super huge files if i then edit in sony vegas 12 can i use the Codec: XAVC-S to render it out for clients/youtube without it being some monster file...
and 1 last thing i spent around 6k on the fdr ax1 with tripod and cards....i do music videos...I cant afford a Red camera,and now wonder did i get the wrong camera and is there other cameras like the black magic camera (3k cost) or a canon that would work better then the ax1....the 1 thing i dont like is when u pan or move the camera takes a mili sec to adjust and u get grainy like pixles when u move...ive seen it on tons of youtube videos...and wonder with how music video do alot of crane and movement shots is there a better camera in the 6k price range then the ax1.....
I really watched this topic grow as people talked about the ax100 so this was the only place i felt like you guys would know what im talking about...
i use after effects 95% of the time and sony vegas to render for youtube...but now id like to use the youtube 4k option on my videos
so thats why i went with this camera

This thread is about the AX100, not the AX1. Maybe you need to start a new thread?

ok i will...but the question was aimed at the people i seen here using the same codec as the ax100..again the codec and how to render it in after effects for best quality and small file size.....
seeing as how some here have the ax100 and use the codec why not ask them instead of making a new thread based on camera model...not the codec issue!!!
but w/e ill make the new thread!!! still open to answers from those that do know...
and please if u dont have a answer dont offer your 2 cents...im looking for real answers not snarky cheap shots!!!
Respect...Romeo615
