How to render video in Sony Vegas Pro 13 so that the video has a minimum size with good picture quality?

Question

Video

Help, I rendered a 7 minute video on 150 GB. I would even say tell me the format so that a short video does not fill the precious space of my memory, my computer!

Answer 1

Wow! 7 minutes for 150GB, is it avi format? MP4 put and you will be happy!

Answer 2

What format to upload videos to YouTube?
if you fundamentally need to reduce the size as much as possible, while not reducing the quality - use two-pass encoding (2pass), rendering time will greatly increase.
if you need a small file size AND fast rendering at the same time, with a slight deterioration in quality - use nvidia cuda or intel quicksync if the processor / video card has these technologies.
with amd it is also possible - opencl, but the efficiency of using vegas is low, it is better to use the h264 hardware encoder on the video card (amd vce), it's more difficult - https://vk.com/topic-84786662_33590065
you can use the h264 nvidia nvenc hardware encoder https: //vk.com/topic-84786662_33494293
I must say right away that hardware encoders - quicksync, nvenc, vce have a lower image quality than a software x264/avc//mvc/cuda/opencl encoder in vegas at the same bitrate, therefore it is advisable to set the minimum bitrate for video with a resolution of 1920x1080 and a frame rate of 30 not lower than 8 Mbps, the quality will be slightly higher than on youtube.
For an approximate calculation of image quality, use this formula:
(1000 * bitrate in kbps) / (video resolution X * video resolution Y * video frame rate) = quality.
above 0.1 - quality like a studio film (if the original video was of good quality - shot with a high bitrate of 30 - 60 Mbps)
excellent quality 0.1 - impractical on full hd, get a 60 minute video size of 22 GB, like bd remux has good quality.
good 0.08-0.07
bad <0.05 - suitable only for youtube/web broadcasts, blocks are visible on the video.
disgusting <0.04 - suitable only for viewing on a smartphone screen.
if you count the qval of any youtube video, you can see that they compress the video too much, because all the videos there look blurry.
