Hey guys! please help! if someone know this! when i configure an video to export on adobe premiere, shows me 5GB file size for example, then when i queue it to adobe media encoder, when finishes the file size is double, like 10gb. Someone know how can i make adobe premiere and media encoder have similar file sizes when export? sorry about my english! thanks!!

O.k! 🙂

 

The numbers you see is just an estimate and not an absolute, always 100% correct result, as Neil points out.

 

Those numbers have been way off for decades, so it´s best to just ignore them and forget about them since they never are really near to a real life result.

 

If you hit the Export button instead of Queue the actual file size of the exported file will be more or less the same.

...when i export here its close from the estimate size file, but if i queue it to media encoder, ends up being a bigger file than this, and i dont know why because media encoder should copy this same settings to export in theory

Like Averdahl requests, we'd need to know your sequence framesize and the precise settings you're using in the export.

 

I would note, those numbers are estimates, and in my experience, are not necessarily close. Especially if you're using two-pass encoding of H.264, that can change significantly after the analyzing process completes ... which is the first pass of two-pass encoding.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

Hey! @Averdahl @R Neil Haugen Thank you for your answers! so, its h264 match source medium bitrate, when i export here its close from the estimate size file, but if i queue it to media encoder, ends up being a bigger file than this, and i dont know why because media encoder should copy this same settings to export in theory

Please give an example and settings used so we can test. 🙂
