However now that I rendered the 13 second video to .avi it takes up 1.51GB which is a lot… Something I wasn’t expecting, especially since rendering time was almost the same.

I rendered using the following settings (.avi):

In comparison it was 20MB when I rendered using my previous settings (.mp4) which are:

How could I render it to .avi and not have a massive file?

Hi Mark,

Spot on. Looks like it was a CODEC issue. Rendered to .avi instead of .mp4 and the problem vanished.

As for downscaling on output I’m not sure what that menas. Is it rendering say 1080p to 720p?

Thanks for your help!

Haha, exactly Paul, so simple. It occured to me I can do that about 15 seconds after posting but thank you for the reply.

This leads me to a (I think) more complex question. Say I have 1 video event that lasts 10 seconds. I split the event into two 5 second events. I apply color correction to the first event altering the colors and the second event stays with the original colors.

In what way could I make a transition from one to the other so that the color corrected event transitions into the event with the original colors smoothly?

If I just play the two events normally, one after another with no time gap in between the color transition will be very sharp.

I hope I explained that clearly.

Hi John and thank you.

Yes, instead of adding the effect to the single track I wanted to use it on I clicked on “Media FX” which applied it to the whole thing not just the track I wanted it on. Fixed it now.
