Can not render After Effects CC project as mp4 / h.264 any more?

[Ganesh Ujwal]

I've made a 2 minute video on After Effects CC. There is no option to save using depreciated formats. Other answers suggest going to:

Edit -> Preferences -> output -> enable Show Deprecated Formats

however I can't see this checkbox and I assume it has been removed completely now!

All I am looking to do is upload to YouTube but the rendered AVI video is 20GB! If I set composition resolution to half, and the output also to half the original size I can save it as 5GB but this will still take over 3/4 hours to upload on my connection.

What settings should I be using to get a decent quality video at a small size so I can upload to YouTube?? I don't need HD, but I would like it to be somewhat good quality.

I am also not too familiar with some of the other formats, so I'm a bit lost.

You can drag your comp directly from the AE project window into Adobe Media Encoder. (It takes a few seconds to appear.) From AME you have a full range of options.

There are YouTube presets you can use as a starting point.

Why would you want to render to deprecated formats?

Just render the video with H.264 in an mp4 container and you will be fine.

That's not a direct option. Do you not read these threads before responding?
