AfterCodecs is a native export plugin from Autokroma for Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro and Media Encoder. It fills the codec gaps in Adobe's own exporters, letting you render ProRes, H.264, H.265 and HAP files directly from your timeline or composition without going through QuickTime or a separate conversion step. It is aimed at editors and motion designers who deliver files to clients, broadcasters and the web from a Mac.

Key Features

• Native ProRes, H.264, H.265 and HAP exports inside After Effects, Premiere Pro and Media Encoder
• Quality and file-size controls, including x264-style encoding options for H.264
• MultiRender Markers in Premiere Pro to batch export several ranges in one pass
• Progress shown in the After Effects taskbar icon while renders run
• Regular updates that track new Adobe Creative Cloud releases, including Apple silicon Macs

FAQs

Is AfterCodecs free?

There is a trial mode so you can test exports before buying, and some limited encoding options have historically been offered free. The full feature set requires a paid licence from Autokroma; this post does not offer any licence keys or modified versions.

Does AfterCodecs replace Media Encoder?

No. It works inside Media Encoder, Premiere Pro and After Effects as an export format, so it fits into the workflow you already have rather than replacing it.
