I understand the math, and yes lowering the data rate does lower the file size, but for some reason this particular video is still like three times as large as it was before. I can’t lower it anymore and it’s still huge. It is NOT encoded in ProRes, is there something obvious that I’m missing?

For context I normally do a lot of SFX/FX in my work so working with very large Final Cut files is normal for me. This is one of the first times I’ve had to do something so simple and it still resulted in this massive file size.

I will give apple compressor another try though, thank you for the suggestion!

I’ll check out media info, thanks for the suggestion!

However it is NOT encoded as ProRes, that I’m sure of, which is part of the reason I was so confused.
