View Full Version : Why did FCE export size get bigger for no reason?

This is really bizarre.

I exported a file the other day. 18 minutes 42 seconds long, exported at Vimeo HD settings (H264, 1280x720, keyframe every 30, I limited data to 3500kb, AAC 128kbps). It was about 470MB.

I made a little change to ONE section only. It's actually 7 seconds shorter. Nothing added of consequence, mostly removed.

Now it only exports to a file size of over 530MB.

Honestly, settings are all the same, I have checked them over and over. For some reason it's just suddenly about 12% less efficient than it used to be. Does anybody have any idea why this could have happened and how to make it stop?

hmmm... that is weird, I would just double check to make sure the settings are the same on both clips.

Unless I am just blind and missing something right in front of me, they are.
