How To: Render HD Small File Size in Sony Vegas Pro

[@kaimonzas3183]

Insanely helpful video. 3 Minute video went from 16 GB to 43 MB. Not noticeable change in quality either.

[@blulere]

bruh my file was 160 gb now it's 240 mb still big, but it's ok

[@WADClassics]

Haha mine got 25GB (3 min video) after i did the method it's now 3GB. it's still kinda high but It's okay than 25GB🤣🤣

[@king_ofthe7seas]

@@blulere are you joking

[@blulere]

@@king_ofthe7seas well i can’t really tell anymore bc i edit with after effects now but probably no,

[@Kokola-qh9wp]

@@blulere Do you recommend switching to after effects? I'm looking for new software to edit in, imovie is fun and easy but i have a windows machine, and Davinci has a whole lot of compatibility issues whilst Vegas files are bokers huge....

[@mindlessgonzo]

I had a video of a podcast that lasted about an hour 45. Trying one of the presets kept getting me large 8 gig files that would tie up my connection for hours if not days. Your preset gave me a gig, which is much easier to handle. Thanks!

[@SavinoAF]

Thank you so much! I was just editing a 2 and a half hour long stream to upload to my twitch and this changed it from a 10gb upload into a 1.9gb upload! Granted, there was some quality loss, but since it wasnt any kind of fast paced action it was absolutely perfect! Saved me missing my announcement date!

[@seanmungai5655]

Woah! Thanks man. Thanks to you, I minimized a 700MB video to 56MB. You're awesome.

[@andrejjj]

same lol

[@zitathenigerian-amer.mappe6790]

IT WORKED... NOW I CAN MAKE FUTURE OF EUROPE VIDEOS AT HIGH QUALITY... I TESTED IT AND IT'S 7.53 MB. YOUR ARE THE BEST.

[@CasualSavage]

Glad I've helped :)

[@alim6061]

casual savage i cant change the profile from high to main because im using sony vegas pro 14 and you are using 12 can u fix this plz :)

[@0347marvin]

Thank you! Had a 720P video submission for a contest that only allowed a max 50MB upload. Went from 293MB down to 49.9MB! Saved me so much time to not have to do a ton of renders experimenting.

[@2010MajorTom]

Perfect! Step by step, easy to understand, squashed a video file from 81MB down to 24MB with no big loss in quality. I found the bit rate reduction to 2,000,000 was a bit heavy and caused some blocky artifacts, so I set that to 4,000,000.

[@andreekusuma8779]

Sadly there is no internet 720p or 1080p on my SONY AVC/MVC in my Sony Vegas Pro 11 :(

[@RoryZHypnotist]

Awesomely helpful video! Took my export time down by 20% and my file size down by 90%!!! WTF amazing! Thanks for posting! :-)

i want to render in 144p only please help

[@LYNGX]

Hey , I've noticed a really quality loss . It looks like a 240p video now . Is there any alternative ?

[@Iucebowel]

Watching this as a 1 minute clip took 20 mins to render, cheers mate.

[@Darbuinsito]

In Vegas Pro 11 I don't seem to have the "Internet 1920x1080-30p" and "Internet 1280x768-30p" options in output formats.

[@Vorrimade]

Please help, make a Vegas pro 11 version because I dont have the internet 1280x 720-30p option please help please please please!

[@9ardes]

15 min video 1 effect was all it took for 300 mb to turn into 90 GB WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

[@retrospades39]

A Sapphire effect can do that; they are quite heavy on the file.

[@Froggo_kek]

2 minutes to 200 gb i make some heay edits

[@rpgfan72]

Same, I was like WTF, all the rest of my hard drive was depleted...I still don't get this Vegas stuff yet...

[@nexus8883]

mine was 5 minutes and its 60 gb

[@nexus8883]

have u found a fix?

[@DadiJobzTV]

Follow all instructions And boom. Amazingly works. 800mb down to 95mb. Your a pro men. Need more like you in this career.. Keep up the good work.

[@jackherson1079]

I don't know about you but i see big downgrade in the quality, it become very pixely and very blury. Meh but i guess you don't have a choice if your video is large and your internet sucks.

[@Wayloz]

Same here bud :/

[@dovilekirdeikyte1965]

Same :(

[@LunauticalDev]

Same here with poor internet quality. Speeds are very dynamic. Could be 800 KBPS download speed one day then the next like 100 KBPS.

[@xxx3janmichael2xxx]

My render file size is about 720mb per minute and now because of your help, you save my life and the file size now about 6mb. thank you.

[@ChrisDoesWhat]

Thanks for pointing us in the right direction, still need to tweak it a bit, but the file size will be great. We have a large number of videos and storage is becoming an issue.

[@SteveMack]

...Bit confused WHY you need to change project settings BEFORE you then go to render?

[@LunauticalDev]

This helped a lot. I use 720p and the only thing I changed was setting the FPS to 60 (cause 25-30 is unbearable) and a 14-15 min video is only 200MB (before it was around 1.5GB and the 420p 60FPS was around 900MB)

[@DeanoEssex]

I did what you said... I rendered one 50min episode with AVC MP4 and it was 2.88GB i did exactly the same settings for WMV and it was 1.56GB... I don't quite get how you managed smaller files with MP4

[@gerardopinedo598]

Thank you so much!! 😎👌 I had been searching tutorials and tips but I still was getting huge file sizes fot short videos.

[@AnjulaGodakumbura]

Helpful. Thanks. Finally someone who knows what he's talking about.

[@VisualAiz]

tried it out now. OMG bro this is great! im able to render 20 minute vids in like a few minutes and the quality is great! This is a game changer! Thank you so much! This is gonna help my channel a lot!

[@metal.778]

thank you saved my project the last minute :DD !!! couldnt upload due to the huge size this helped a lot !!!

[@Sacrificial]

Thanks mate!!! The video rendered way faster for me & was 25% its original size! ♥

[@akshaykumarkg]

Really helped. Thanks a lot, mate.

[@RavenPontiacMedia]

Curious if this same process will work for 4K 60fps. Going to have to try an see. I found this helpful on my old laptop, just upgraded to a nice desktop and doing more 4K than I use to. I will update if this process works well for 4K as well.

[@World.21]

the profile ine 1080p only have high it doesn't have main

[@winko567]

@2:18 whenever I try changing the Profile option, it doesn't give me the option to click "main" it only gives me the "high" option. does anyone know how I could work around this?

[@TrazBurger]

Same here man, still looking for a work around

[@magentamage]

because 1080p don't have ''main'' profile

[@volvox5942]

Is it possible that Sony Vegas can lock on to a specific file size like 1GB ? cause i recorded a 18 minute video which was 450 MB. But after editing and cutting the video i got a 16 minute video but the file size increased to 1.60GB and this is not the first time it happend :/

[@_Rhatsody]

this video was amazing and simple. thank you!

[@tropivxx8616]

Help was phenomenal thanks for the time!

[@SunBunz]

Well, I must've done _something_ wrong. The file WAS much smaller-- as a TINY little box, surrounded with a huge black border. I can't crop it to fit the whole screen. I followed your instructions EXACTLY, but I'm also using Sony Vegas Pro 16, I don't know if that makes a difference. This is so frustrating. I used to use Handbreak to shrink it and make it an MP4, but it tends to make the video sound or look like shit. I email these smaller videos to myself, so I could post them on Instagram or Twitter. I even tried different apps and methods to crop it to fit the whole screen, but it's SUCH a pain, I can't get it to fit just right, so I've given up at this point. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[@The_Soup_Wizard]

What's the story with the "Profile" in the render template? My only option is "High" and I'm getting some horrible quality rendering this way.

[@CelDaMenace]

Yoooooooooo broooooo your a god you just saved me hours I was getting frustrated until I saw your video

[@TrazBurger]

720p worked, but it wasnt quality I was looking for. When I try in 1080, there is no "Main" option in the profile drop-down. Is there any fix?

[@thegutninja5683]

Thanks for the video dude, greatly appreciated :)

[@safiullahsalih]

. How do I add Peach Monster and PSP 84 plugins here ?

[@guhitph]

Your 5 mins video is in 1080p. I wonder how many mb is it? Thanks.

[@jvmiranda2]

Thank you so much! I have a 7:05 long video that the final size after rendering was 43,8GB! After applying these settings the size dropped to 88 MB! Yeah, insane. And the loss of quality is minimal

[@M-tv]

Thank you very much from Georgia

[@nivea123]

Questions: Note 1: How much was the file size in the start, before the rendering? Note 2: You kept the WMV file as 5,000,000 whereas the MP4 file was reduced to 2,000,000?

[@RSPYT]

Dude, what is "Resample" and what does disabling it do?

[@SmxSonic]

Resampleing is how the Computer grows an image, it baisically takes the pixels on an image and copy/pastes them where they need to be. If you disable the Resample and you make your image larger, it'll start to look super pixleated.

[@RSPYT]

+Rico Fernandez (SMX) So why does Savage and others always disable it? I always leave mine enabled and it's fine lol

[@SmxSonic]

Simple answer is control, various programs try to help when you don't need it.

[@RSPYT]

+Rico Fernandez (SMX)Fair enough cheers dude ;)

[@gintoki1342]

Resanpling re makes the the picture which makes it looks ghostly and disabling it makes it not ghosting and somewhat clear
