FTP-ing and file size

December 2, 2012 forum topics
Okay, so I shot and edited b-roll and interviews for an EPK, just picked the best raw footage and put it on a timeline. It was about 9.5 minutes worth of material. I was trying to decide what to export. Original footage was AVC Intra-50 codec. I exported as HDV 1080 60i. File size was still about 2.8 gigs. Took a while to FTP, which is not good if I am under a deadline. I noticed that .H264 is much smaller file size, but still decent quality. Thinking about just exporting as .H264 next time!
