1. How to create a video MP4 for Dribbble in After Effects
What are the steps to start in creating a video mp4 for dribble in after effects. What are the tools needed and how to acquire them.
- if you work in AE you need to get your work out. Which means video. Which means often creating really big files.
- Dribbble now supports video
- In past you needed to do GIF (view my post on this)
- Can export natively as a setting but is really not great
- The way compression works
- Considerations (file size), some compressions are huge.
- Video compression is a total rabbit hole. It quickly becomes extremely technical and complicated. So you want to stay out of the weeds.
- The biggest things are file size and image quality. Ideally you want the best of both worlds.
- Several options
- Online converter tool
- Adobe Media Encoder
- If you’re on a mac, the best and easiest way to do this is with quicktime
- MP4 is also great for your design portfolio
What are the requirements for video shots?
A Pro or Team account is required to upload video files. The file size limit for video shots is 10MB (the same as still images and animated GIFs). Videos must be 24 seconds in length or shorter. Videos must also be cropped to a 4:3 aspect ratio (before importing) and in the MP4 format. There is no restriction on the resolution of a video as long as it is less than 10MB and under 24 seconds long.
