To edit an existing output module settings template, choose a template from the Settings Name menu, click Edit, and specify output module
settings.
Changes to an existing template do not affect render items that are already in the render queue.
To specify a default output module settings template to be used when processing movies, individual frames, RAM previews, pre-rendered
movies, or proxies, choose a template from a menu in the Defaults area of the Output Module Templates dialog box.
To save all currently loaded output module templates to a file, click Save All.
To load a saved output module template file, click Load, select the output module template file, and then click Open.
Add output modules to and remove output modules from render items
To add a new output module with default settings to a single render item, click the plus sign to the left of the Output To heading of the last
output module for the render item.
To remove an output module from a render item, click the minus sign to the left of the Output To heading of the output module.
To add a new output module with default settings to selected render items, choose Composition > Add Output Module.
To duplicate selected output modules, press Ctrl+D (Windows) or Command+D (Mac OS).
Output module settings
For information on using controls in the Color Management area of the Output Module Settings dialog box, see Assign an output color profile.
Specifies the format for the output file or sequence of files.
Specifies whether to include information in the output file that links to the source After Effects project. When you open the
output file in another application, such as Adobe Premiere Pro, you can use the Edit Original command to edit the source project in After Effects.
Specifies whether to include XMP metadata in the output file from the files used as sources for the rendered
composition. XMP metadata can travel all the way through After Effects from source files, to footage items, to compositions, to rendered and
exported files. For all default output module templates, Include Source XMP Metadata is deselected by default. (See Exporting XMP metadata from
After Effects.)
Specifies an action for After Effects to perform after the composition is rendered. (See Post-render actions .)
Opens a dialog box in which you specify format-specific options.
The output channels contained in the output movie. After Effects creates a movie with an alpha channel if you choose RGB+Alpha,
implying a depth of Millions of Colors+. Not all codecs support alpha channels.
All files created with a color depth of Millions of Colors+, Trillions of Colors+, or Floating Point + have labeled alpha channels; information
describing the alpha channel is stored in the file. Therefore, you do not have to specify an alpha interpretation each time you import an item
created in After Effects.
Specifies the color depth of the output movie. Certain formats may limit depth and color settings.
Specifies how colors are created with the alpha channel. Choose from either Premultiplied (Matted) or Straight (Unmatted). (See Alpha
channel interpretation: premultiplied or straight.)
Specifies the number for the starting frame of a sequence. For example, if this option is set to 38, After Effects names the first frame
[file_name]_00038. The Use Comp Frame Number option adds the starting frame number in the work area to the starting frame of the sequence.
Specifies the size of your output movie. Select Lock Aspect Ratio To if you want to retain the existing frame aspect ratio when resizing the
