    Wondering if anyone can help – I am currently shooting and editing footage for tv – they asked me to supply them with an encompressed .mov file. When I render using the settings in Vegas 0 the file is huge. Usually a minute is about 16 gigs… surely this can’t be right!

    Are there other settings that I can use

    Actually it is right … uncompressed video files are in fact huge. Whether you can use settings other than what the recipient specified is up to them, but generally speaking, there are no settings to reduce the file size of uncompressed video since the various settings used when making other types of video files are compression settings, which don’t apply when you’re not compressing the video. The only thing that’ll reduce the size of uncompressed video is switching from a 10-bit codec to 8-bit, but your file is probably already 8-bit.
