Uploading a video??

[khevolution]

hey i just spent the last hour editing a video for another forum im part of and go to upload said video to youtube and its saying the file is too big, now im using Vegas Editing Software and i can't seem to find a function to compress the video to an acceptable file size, now does anybody know of a method for me to compress this video?

Yes, I had this yesterday. The video was 386 megabytes!

 

When rendering the video in Vegas, normally it tries to save it as .wmv. This produces a huge file size, so if you just change it to render the video as .avi instead then you should be fine :) Hope that helps.

right that what i saved it as and its 834 MB!!!

haha well done speed :p I think Speed got the .wmv and .avi the wrong way round ;) on mine, the .wmv produces a much less file size than .avi ;) (20times less to be precise)

Hey thanks alot, that did it first time and also thanks to speed, don't worry about it, we get things the wrong way round sometimes, if i can you both get rep

Damn seriously! First time I wrote that post I got it the right way round, but I thought I was wrong, so I checked on Vegas to see which it automatically saved as. It must've saved my settings for me so I changed it to the wrong way round without realising! It's just too good!

Wow nice video, just finished watching it. Really nice cutting too, I like the bit at 1.18 where it goes all black and the music keeps going, a nice touch on the video if you meant to do it or not Lol :D I would Rep you for it but I can't Lol.

well it wasn't planned, but i deleted a bit of footage from that bit, but when played back it seemed to work without footage so i kept it like that
