Post by Suikoden »

Dear Sir ,

I will get to the point directly .

well my problem is the size of the output of the video . i have a movie lets say about 300mb in size and i edit only a title to it at the begining and then i go to share to create a video file there . and some times i use same as first video clip well for real some of the files get output the same as the size before but some of them get larger than 1gigs thats too big .

what i want is get an out put at the same size of the file when i got it from .

i mean when i edit something to it and outputting i get the same size .

i need steps to how to use the share so i can get the same size .

Hi Suikoden, and welcome to the forums..:)

We need some more information to help you.

1. How did you get your video files onto your computer? Did you capture/transfer using a Firewire (IEEE-1394, Sony's iLink), with a third party capture device (WinTV2000, Canopus..), Import a DVD, download from the internet?

2. What is the file type of your captured/transfered video clips? (DV-AVI, DivX, Xvid, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4)

For a video clip to grow from 300 Mb to 1gig there is a problem with the file type you are editing and outputting. A 300 meg video clip indicates to me that you maybe trying to edit a highly compressed file type, such as MPEG-4, or DivX, or MPEG-2. Then when you output the video (Share>Create Video File), VS is re-encoding it to the format you have selected as the output format, which is not as compressed as your video clip.

So when you capture your video clip, check the properties of that clip. Then you want to make sure your project properties match that. One way to do this is to go to Preferences and select the box beside Show Message when inserting first video clip into timeline. This way VS will prompt you to change your project properties to match that of the first video clip.

Then do you editing to your clip, and go to Share>Create Video File, and choose Same as Project Settings. There should be no re-ecoding to the video clip.
