I'm using After Effects cs3 to do some final color timing to a 720p HD music video. I'm working off of uncompressed 720p quicktime files, and when I'm done, I plan to compress the video to the H.264 codec for upload to websites such as Vimeo.
My question is, can I do the compression out of After Effects, or would I get better results by rendering out uncompressed and then using something like Compression or Sorenson Squeeze?

You might get better quality out of a dedicated encoding package but if you are then uploading to the likes of Vimeo, you're unlikely to be able to tell the difference with the end result.
