have you ever gotten failed renders and error messages when you try to render out your high definition H.264 video in After Effects? I do all the time, and it is in part because the H.264 Output Module is not designed to render HD video. There is a separate workaround, that I get asked to explain all the time on forums.

A lot of people ask questions on the forum, as to why their H.264 Quicktime videos look washed out and not as vibrant as they are with their source footage. Some people don’t really recognize the difference, and just take it as an problem that comes along with the compression codec, but that isn’t the issue.

Sadly, you have to have Quicktime Pro to go through this fix with me, but hey maybe Quicktime will fix it in the next version… you never know! ...

Memory failures while rendering can be a result of a bug in the Mac OS memory manager in Mac OS 8.5.1 and earlier. AE 4.0 runs into the problem when using all available RAM to cache frames. After Effects 3.1 doesn't cache multiple frames per item therefore doesn't run into the problem. If you're using AE 4.0 and not using all available RAM to cache frames, you're not likely to run into the problem....
