In our company we use a number of encoding presets customised to our needs, settings we have been using for years. Up until the latest April update of AME this typically resulted in files that were always between 400 - 600MB in size (same ballpark as the estimated file size in exporter), depending on clip duration, however since the April update, every single render, using the exact same presets now results in files between 1.2 - 2GB in size, despite the fact that the 'estimated file size' in the exporter still displays something between 400 - 600MB. We have tried creating new presets from within the latest version of AME, but with the same results. Now we are rapidly chewing through 10's of GB of wasted storage for files that are inordinately large, upload times for all of the files to our hosts have nearly tripled and the knock on effect for the end users, now receiving files triple the size in enormous. We dare not lower the export settings any further. As it is, we are using H.264, 1280x720, VBR 1 Pass, with a bit-rate of 0.7 - 1. Is anyone else experiencing this bug? Does anyone have any ideas for a solution? As it is we render about 10 of these videos per day, and we cannot afford to be wasting potentially 100's of accrued GB.
