  File size reduction for photo/video

  Posted by Cale Henderson on February 5, 2018 at 11:22 am

  I have 43 minutes of voice over on my audio track along with a little music.
  I have 3 still images spread out on my video track.

  This is basically a glorified PowerPoint presentation. I’m trying to export the video in a manageable file size, but 43 minutes is pretty enormous. I have a basic understanding of long gop and how frames can reference previous frames to help with compression. I can’t figure out how to lower the file size without crippling the bit rate.

  If there’s nothing happening you don’t need to put a lot of bit rate for the video. The encoder should use only what it needs so if you have stills it should keep the bit rate pretty low.

  I dropped the bit rate to 2 mbps. That was a little too small since there is some text on the screen… but even at 2 mbps it results in a 1.6 GB file.

  What wrapper and codec are you using for your final deliverable?

  System:
  Dell Precision T7600 (x2)
  Win 7 64-bit
  32GB RAM
  Adobe CC 2017.1 (as of 8/2017)
  256GB SSD system drive
  4 internal media drives RAID 5
  Typically cutting short form from UHD MP4, HD MP4, and HD P2 MXF.
