Xvid in After Effects

Postby Reoer » Wed Apr 11, 2007 8:37 am

Does it just not work? I'm trying to just get into learning After Effects and all the clips I have on my hard drive are Xvids.

Just a quick question, a simple answer is fine.

Doing that changes a 4 meg clip into a 245 meg one and I just don't have the hard drive space... unless I'm missing something.

read this
as a general rule, I say that you need about 30GB of free space (somewhere) to do (anime music) video editing without feeling constricted. (that's about 26GB for the .vob files and 4GB for lossless clips)

it's possible to use divx/xvid encoded files, but it will come back to bite you (without exception. It will happen sometime).
If you really can't spare 245MB, I suggest getting another hard drive (internal or external), which are becoming affordable on almost any budget
