I searched the forum. I read the posts but I still seem to be doing something wrong. Remembering off the top of my head as I am at work, this is the small test I did before I try to do the whole vid.
I got 3 clips (25mb+25mb+25mb) + 1 music (5mb) mp3, 3.43mins footage in total (80mb total size of the original files all together) into -> sony vegas.
I Rendered as Best xvid, 800x600, 25fps, VF's xvid settings, uncompressed music -> 180mb.
I stuck the 180mb through VirtualDub lame mp3 and it came out at 130mb.
3.43 mins -> 130mb sounds very wrong to me. It should be something like 50mb tops?? (going with 10-15mb per min)
Where am I ballsing up?
The footage is a mix of pre-compressed xvid avi fraps, squished right down and wmv's from gamecam. The quality even on best doesn't seem that good.
Basically I just want to get the clips, stick them on the timeline, add a few effects, then squish it as much as possible, in good quality (as gamecam already makes it a bit naff) and at 800x600.
What settings do you use?
If you have the time, please post your settings for me and all the other budding filmmakers out there :>
