resulting video has smaller dimensions but much more mb in size vegas pro ver 17
original video - 1920x1280 - 17mb
desired video - 1280x720 - smaller file size
project settings:
template - HDV 720-30p (1280x720, 29.970 fps)
render settings:
format - MAGIX AVC/AAC MP4
template - Internet HD 720p 29.97 fps
resulting video is 55 mb in size
any help?
The &quot;Internet HDV 720-30p&quot; template uses as default a data rate of 8 MBit/s.
If you want to reduce the size of your video from 55mb to below 17mb, you should set the avarage bit rate at maximum 2.000.000.
If the file size is still bigger than expected, you may activate &quot;two pass rendering&quot; and see whether that helps.
