Premiere keeps exporting my video at some file size, regardless of my settings

[gregs40163578]

I'm trying to export a video, 1200x627, h264 and the export settings say it'll be 14mbs but when I export it always goes to 1.7mb. And it's too compressed for the client. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Can you post a screenshot of your export settings?

[gregs40163578]

Here it is. Again, I've been working with Premiere for years and never had a issue and then, perhaps, with a new update something changed. Or I'm missing something - not ruling that out. Do you see anything?

Don't export with odd numbers, always make it even and dividable by 4.

1200 x 628.

I'll try that thanks. Though the client may not allow that change. Thank you!

Sometimes 'software encoding' for H.264 gets a more predictable result for size.

Or export a ProRes/Cineform/DNx, then use the free utility app ShutterEncoder to re-encode to H.264.  It is a 'front end' for the ffmpeg encoding app, and does a very fine job of H.264 encoding.
