AfterCodecs

AfterCodecs is a powerful embedded exporter plugin for After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Media Encoder on Mac, featuring full support for Apple ProRes and H.264/H.265/HEVC codecs (x264 and x265) to deliver fast, high-quality video rendering directly on your macOS system.

Choose the efficiency level that suits your workflow best: use fast encoding mode for quick previews and draft playback, or select a compact file size option for polished final delivery. Low-bitrate videos now achieve noticeably better visual quality than ever before, and you can smoothly play back content in stunning 8K resolution on your Mac.

A fast, easy-to-use YouTube upload profile (just one simple parameter to select) is included, fully matching YouTube's own recommended upload specifications for optimal video publishing results on the platform.

Save valuable time by rendering directly within the After Effects render queue on your Mac — no need to rely on command-line tools and no need to route your output through Adobe Media Encoder. With an AfterCodecs license, you unlock the complete feature set. AfterCodecs download is available for macOS, making the AfterCodecs plugin an essential addition to your editing toolkit.
