I'm using After Effects, what is the best compression to use?
I made a video that was 1:40 minutes long but it was 120MB which doesn't sound right. I used H.264 with High Bitrate. I tried medium but I the video quality seems to have suffered.

Oh and pic unrelated.
what resolution. what fps. what audio codec and bitrate.
>>342512
1080p, 29.97 fps, AAC, 192 kbps.

Oh sorry, did you mean video bitrate? It's like 10 mbps. Audio is 320 kbps.

What container? Also, maybe the aftereffects h.264 encoder sucks; try doing a lossless export and then re-encoding with ffmpeg (libx264 is the best h.264 encoder).

MP4.
ffmpeg is the one I need to use with command line right? For the record, I'm actually using Media Encoder not rendering it with AE itself.

Generic advice: try matroska (.mkv), x264 encoder with 2 pass very slow preset (look up how to do this), and lower the bitrate until error is too high for you.
