8 mins of footage = 90MB??
Another remedial question...I'm producing short videos for an online show, and they're about 6-8minutes once completed.
The actual PP file size is about 17GB with all of the raw clips (I shoot in HD 1920 x1080 res). When I get ready to render, the files are about 14,000 frames. I am NOT rendering BEFORE I export...I simply export using H264 codec in 720 x 405 size because that's what the client requires. The finished files are about 90MB...and take about 8 hours to render. Is that about right? Is that normal? I remove all of the unused footage from the project window; I clear the media cache; I write to one Scratch Disk which as another hard drive I have built into my Dell PC I am concerned that when I edit the raw clips that perhaps I am not doing something right and therefore, the finished movie is bigger than it should be. |

Yes, that's all within the realm of normality.

That's in the same range of what I got and one of the reasons why H.264 is such a great tool. Pretty amazing, isn't it?
