Hi guys,

 

I need to reduce the size of a video and keep the alpha channel on, anyone could help me? 

 

The file is now 202mb but I need it 5mb. The video was created on After Effects and I'm using Media Encoder to export. 

 

 

Thank you!

That is quite the tall order. Here is a list of video formats that support an alpha channel:

To get from 202MB to 5MB you would need to lower the birate of your output considerably.

Export to MP4 which is a compressed file supported by all devices. 

Reduce bitrate and resolution from say 1080p to 720p.

 

EDIT: Moved from Get Started to Media Encoder forum.
