iOS Renderer¶

If you design a Widget for our iOS Renderer you’ll have to take those extra exceptions into consideration

Assets larger than 2048x2048
Compositions larger than 2048x2048

We don’t support audio files inside an After Effects Project, but audio files can be played inside the XML that will embbed your AE Widget. More info about this here.

Formats (Static Images)¶

We don’t support these graphical assets inside AE projects (non exhaustive list):

Photoshop Files
Illustrator Files
EPS Files
Tiff Files

We recommand using jpegs for non alpha assets, and png otherwise.

Formats (Video files)¶

We don’t support file formats other than h264 (in mp4 encapsulation) for non alpha videos, and On2VP6 (in flv encapsulation) for video with alpha.

For h264 we do recommand using the High Profile with 5.1 Level, 2 pass VBR with a 5-8Mb bitrate for SD videos, and a 10-15Mb bitrate for HD videos and up to 20Mb for Ultra HD videos.
For On2VP6 we do recommand a 10Mbit bitrate in VBR encoding, with target quality set to Optimal.

We are using Adobe Media Encoder in house to compress our assets, we do recommand it.
