  • rendering quality vs file size, advice wanted

    Posted by Simply Samurai on May 13, 2012 at 4:31 pm

    hey everyone. I was wondering if someone could suggest what the best combination of quality and file size is for my videos.

    I want to post gaming videos to youtube in 720p HD, and so far, i have used sony vegas to edit it, then render in the mp4 format template labelled “interent 720 HD”. This produces stunning quality and is just what i need, but the file size just seems too large. For every minute i render, the file size is 30.9 Mb. What im asking for here is if anyone can suggest some tweaks that will not reduce much quality but reduce the file size somewhat significantly?

    I stress again, i do not want to sacrfice much waulty, but from the original sony 720p template, if there is some things i could knock off to make it a smaller file size, i would like to know

    i thank you in advance for helping me out, and reading my msg, and await some sort of advice 🙂

    Lower the bitrate in customize template. Lower bitrate = smaller file size.
