Need to reduce 200gb video file size to export in Youtube from Premiere Rush

Hi all,

I used premiere rush to put together a 45 minute long video compiled from videos of my newphew filmed on phones - nothing fancy! I finished the video and exported it and it's come out at 200gb. I'd like to be able to upload this to youtube and burn it onto a dvd for my family. I can still open the project in premiere rush. Can anyone recommend the settings I should choose for exporting it to make it good quality but also a reasonable size. Or can i use another creative cloud app to process it into a smaller file?

Any help gratefully received.

Thank you for your reply. I made the video in rush in the first place and it is already an mp4 of 200gb - that was exported from rush. I could try reducing framerate/resolution or chaning the preset but I'm not sure what to set it to - i don't want to set it too low and spend hours exporting a bad quality video.

Thank you for your help x

Thanks for providing details.

It said estimated file size 5926mb but it's over 200gb!- Would you mind sharing the screenshot where is it shown the estimated file size?

Which device are you using Premiere Rush on?

Thanks,

Which output template did you select when you exported the movie? What resolution is your finished video?

Hi Steve,

I saved my video locally by clicking on the share options and just stuck with the default settings (as i have no idea what sort of settings I'd need!)

They are/were set at:

Preset: Automatic

Resolution: Automatic (1080x1920)

Framerate: Automatic (30)

Audio channels: Stereo

Quality: High

It said estimated file size 5926mb but it's over 200gb! I'd like the finished video to be good quality to its still nice to watch. I'd like to be able to play it on a decent size television either through youtube or connecting a laptop to it. Any suggestions for changing the export settings?

Thank you. x
