It that good enough? It compresses at right quality vs. size? Or shall I rather go now for another second party encoder?

If not, then you can export at uncompressed or source quality, then use a tool like HandBrake to encode to what ever size you want. @Mark Eslick – There should be an option for custom sizes.

After Effects is a great compositing tool, but not much of a compression tool. You should export full uncompressed audio and video from AE and then use a tool such as Sorenson Squeeze, SUPER, or Handbrake to encode to H.264 MP4 for the web. For Vimeo, YouTube or other service that will then reencode your video again, you should choose the highest data rate you can without going over the upload filesize limit. @Aerovelo, that is exactly right.

That I should export from AFX using minimal compression in an AVI wrapper THEN encode using MPEGStreamClip or some such encoder? Just wondering, because I am getting tired of experimenting with encoding projects that look like they were shot through cheese cloth. The footage I export from Premiere using AVI is very nice, but once I do my CC work in AFX its either a blurry mess or too big to post to Vimeo (+500mb) and the clips are usually around 2min long at 1080x720.
