I used a Canon HG-10 to record some video and loaded it using the Large (960x540) setting. After organizing the clips, I tried fooling with the export settings (Frame rate, Key Frames, and the Quality Slider). I tried about 15 variations.
The quality slider made a decent variation in file size, but changing the frame rates and key frames did very little (within 5 MB difference between 8-30 FPS and keyframes from 10 to 150) on a one minute video about 100 MB. I was expecting the frame rate and key frame changes to have a dramatic effect on file size.
I was also using the H.264 codec and a size of 640x360 if that makes any difference.
Any ideas? I can find very little literature on how to really get into understanding these settings. Thank you!
