EXPORT file too big?
I am exporting my first film. It’s 20 minutes and the Quicktime movie file is 1.5 GB. Why is it so large and what can I do to make it smaller but still look good for the web? Does it need to be rendered first before export? I can’t seem to find a consistent answer on this one. I’m using FCP 6 and export using Quicktime Conversion: Size = 640×360
CODEC = h.264
Data rate: 1500
Audio = AAC audio, 48kHz. Render settings = Best. Target bit rate = 128+. Mono
Key frame interval = 24 and another at 5
Fast Start: On.
Frame rate: Current.
Frame Controls: Off.
Multi-pass: On.
Frame reorder: On. -

Caryn, have you seen this article?

The article is rather in-depth and may help to take some of the mystery out of encoding H.264 for the web.
