    Hi. I'm new. :P

    Basically I'm stuck.

    I've recently filmed a video on my camara. But because of the software the camara that comes with, it only lets you use Quicktime. When I need it in Windows Media Player.
    How, in Adobe Aftter Effects, would you convert/change that Quicktime video to a Windows Media Player Video.

    Thanks.

    Winavi will also work, but it's not freeware and the trial version will watermark your conversions. Still, it's something to fall back on if the others fail.

    ...or Rad Video Tools will let you convert to an AVI.

    Are we to assume this came froma digital still camera in video mode? Which camera? Why After Effects? Premiere will import it as will many other editors but if MPeg4 it will need to be a recent version..

    You will generally get better results and a lot less headaches by using the best tools for the job, not just the one that is closest at the time. While After Effects is avery good at many things, video conversion is not high on that list.
