  • “export movie” ,,, why such huge files???

    Posted by Joe Garcia on September 27, 2008 at 2:16 pm

    So,,, I guess I should know this but, what the heck is Premiere doing on export that requires such HUGE files???

    I normally edit to a couple of sequences, with very few or no chapters at all, I export those sequences with little to no compression at all to allow DVD aps to do the compressing at burn time.

    So why does Premiere take 6 gigs or so with very little in the way of color correction, and a few crossfade transitions and render it to the tune of 60 to 70 gigs ????

    What’s going on under the hood ???

    thnx

    Less compression means larger files. That’s just the way that it is.

    Disk space being so cheap I prefer to work with the large files to retain maximum quality until encoding to the final delivery format.

    It shouldn’t matter if you have effects or not, the resulting file size is just a result of the length of the file and the bit rate.
