It might be actually a splendid idea for you to read the help. You don't export or save, you render your comp vie the render queue or media encoder.

As Mylenium said you should use Adobe Media Encoder CC to render, as it has more powerful capabilities than the rendering tools in After Effects, see more here What is Media Encoder? | Adobe Media Encoder tutorials and Media Encoder CC tutorials | Learn how to use Media Encoder CC For .mp4 export , I always use H.264 which is the most compatible for internet purpose.

There's only one problem with all this -- Mp4's don't support alpha channels, which you need for transparency. You'll have to use a different media container & codec. For this I like quicktime movies in JPEG 2000, PNG, Animation or ProRes 4444 codecs. No Mp4's. And the file sizes will be a LOT bigger than you're used to.
