how do I generate HTML5 files from After Effects CC?

Hi

Forgive my n00b question, but I've built a small video in After Effects that I need to import into Adobe Edge Animate. Edge says it will take .ogg files, so how do I convert an After Effects project to output usable footage available to HTML5 sources?

Thanks again,

Rich

    Hi Rick

    Thanks again for your responses, I value your take on this issue.

    Sadly, the .mp4 video is not playing in the Firefox browser, hence my need to include the .ogv file - as that WILL play. These video clips that I'm building are actually pretty small but they're incorporated into Adobe Edge Animate presentations.

    So without a HTML5 compatible video format as an alternative the Edge Animate presos simply won't run.

    So, I'm still searching for an Adobe-esque workflow solution to generating a .ogv file.

    Thanks again,

    Rich


    Rick (and anyone else working through this issue):

    I received this info when I posted this same question on the Edge Animate forums, I hope it helps :-)

    Hi Rich,

    Unfortunately, Adobe Media Encoder doesn't have native support for ogg/theora or ogg/vorbis. However, you can install a (currently beta) plug-in on your system which will enable ogg encoding in AME:

    fnordware/AdobeOgg · GitHub

    Or, if you'd rather, you can also install the Firefox extension Firefogg, and encode to ogv directly from Firefox:

    Firefogg - video and audio encoding for Firefox

    I've had excellent results using both of the above methods.

    After Effects makes video. You can embed H.264 video in HTML 5 projects but the animations AE do not translate anything else. AE does not, and probably will never will export an edge animate file.

    Thanks for your reply Rick.

    Do you happen to know how I would generate a .ogv file in my After Effects workflow? I understand Adobe Edge wants that specific file type and I'm not trying to import an After Effects native file into Edge Animate, I just don't know to generate the HTML5 file types from AE.

    Thanks again,

    Rich

    It's like I said before, you can't. After Effects makes video. That's all it does.
