Shouldn't file size reduce?
I bring an AE file into Media Encoder, with Export set to “Match Source - High bitrate.” The Estimated File Size is 85 MB. If I then lower Width and Height settings to half size (2560x1440 down to 1280x720), the Estimated File Size stays the same. Shouldn’t it reduce to about 25% of the original size, down to about 20 MB?
Here’s the QT Inspector info on both movies:
