Cam 9 MP4 files size are BIGGER??

are you producing using the exact same quality and video settings?

Yes same settings. I'm going to do new video in Cam 8 and then import to Cam 9 and exactly compare the settings

my latest 4 min video from a 4k gopro ended up at (312,609,868 bytes) Holly cow! IM doing something wrong. I start with a 7 minute video 1.7 megs aand trimmed it down to 4 mins. I must use the whole 7 mins size..I think I will have to try export each chunk and import back into a new video with JUST 4 mins of 4k mp4.. maybe I can save such sections to the library .. then export project as a zip then delete the library .. So all then chunks dont fill up my library


Any suggestions here to reduce vidoe size would be a great help

this working space was 1920X 1080 and the rendered size was 852X480, bit rate 128, frame rate 30, key rate 5

if possible, could you try a test?

first, I don't know anything about 4K gopro; I believe that is a very large dimension clip?  but your example contains a lot of motion of color video capture; that will yield very large files after production

FYI, I do panorama scan projects using 1920x1080 editing dimensions against a single JPG panorama, I use use a single animation to scan across the entire panorama; these projects produce HUGE MP4 files [1GB+] even though they are only 30 seconds long; the slower the pan [longer in time] the greater the file size

if you've cut the original clip down to 4 minutes from 7 during editing, when you produce, you are not including [using] the original 7 minutes in the produced video

so, for the test, after editing down to 4 minutes, custom produce to MP4 w/controller, 30 FPS, set quality to 70%, H264 at high; keyframes at 1 second; audio? if so, set audio to 256kbs

set produce dimensions at 1920x1080

what size is the produced MP4?

I too have experience Camtasia 9 output to an mp4 = Camtasia 8 Size x 2.5
See the results here http://screencast.com/t/plNsgqjItz
And the interesting thing is that the .trec file was created by Camtasia 9 and then I used it also in Cam 8 to output the smaller file.

Is there any way to get this output size = Camtasia 8?

This thread seems to be several months old, but I just got Ver. 9 and am having similar problems.  I have an ongoing project recording the entire highschool math curriculum.  I fit each course onto an 8 GB thumb drive.  I have been reworking my Algebra 2 curriculum with Version 9 and noticed that if I continue, it will overflow the thumb drive.  I tried to get all the settings the same, but on average the mp4 files are 50% larger than before.  Is there an inherent increase in file size for some reason, or am I missing a setting that is making it a memory hog?
