How to shorten an MP4 video file size

Hello,

In Premiere Pro project, I have used 5 mp4 video files.

At the origin, the total amount of these videos is of 150 Mo (for the 5 videos).

When I export my Premiere Pro project in H264/MP4 with the same settings, the video file size created by Premiere Pro is of 900 Mo.

1 - Why ?

2 - How to shorten a lot the 900 Mo video file size created with Premiere Pro ?

Lower the bitrate when you render out the video. (High bitrate=large file, low bitrate=smaller file.)

Hello,

I have made a screenshot of my settings. Is it corresponding to the bitrate you are talking about?

As you can see I am at 10 Mbits/sec. Do you advise me to change this setting ?

Yes, that setting will have a direct effect on the file size.
