Why does Clipchamp export videos with HUGE file sizes, even at 480p?
Hi everyone, I'm having an issue with Clipchamp exporting videos at ridiculously large file sizes, and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this or knows how to fix it. Here's my situation: I have a video that's about 1 hour long, with an original file size of 1.69 GB. I imported it into Clipchamp just to trim a small portion, so the final video is actually shorter than the original. I exported it at 480p, specifically to keep the file size as small as possible. Somehow, the exported video ended up being 2.6 GB! How does a shorter video exported at a much lower resolution end up being almost 1 GB larger than the original? I understand that file size depends on things like bitrate and compression, but this seems excessive, especially for a 480p export. Is there a way to control the export bitrate or reduce the file size in Clipchamp? Or is this just how Clipchamp handles video exports? I'd really appreciate any advice. Thank you!
