    Editing a 100MB video file turns into 1.5GB file!! How to control size?

    Posted by Sergei Sokolov on April 2, 2020 at 8:27 pm

    Vegas Movie Studio 15
    REGULAR edition, Not platinum

    I am editing a video file of a Zoom 30 minute video conference output
    The file is already optimized to be only 106MB (well done Zoom!)
    1366×768
    Datarate = 358 kbps
    BitRate = 411 kbps
    25 fps

    I edit a few minutes out of the video file in Vegas Movie Studio 15
    I render the edited video
    The Vegas video file is now a massive 1.6GB
    1920×1080
    Datarate = 7575 kbps
    BitRate = 7764 kbps
    29 fps

    I have no control over these settings in v15 basic.

    I opened the 1.6GB file in Handbrake.
    Picked Fast 1080p30
    That rendered a file back to 114MB, which is fine.
    But, this extra step takes a long time.

    What are my options?

    Now what? How do I make files smaller?
