Ok, I have animated my scene in Maya, used a tif sequence. Imported the TIFs into Adobe Premiere CS3 and am getting ready to export. I have tried a bunch of different codecs and settings, Quicktime H.264, FLV, AVI. The video just doesn’t look as crisp as the TIF images do. I’m trying to find a balance between file size and quality (who isn’t) as I plan on putting this video on my website and bandwidth is limited.
So my question is: What is your format of choice for web? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also I should mention that for some reason it looks better when exported from After Effects than from Premiere. Same format and settings.
