Since file size is more important than quality in this scenario, math can provide the answer. The edited video is 1h 30m 40s in duration, which is 5,440 seconds. The max desired file size is 3 GB, which is 3 GB * 1000 MB * 1000 KB * 1000 B * 8 bits = 24,000,000,000 bits. Divide bits by seconds to get data rate: 24,000,000,000 / 5,440 = 4,411,764 bits per second. Divide that by 1,000,000 to get megabits per second, and round a little for convenience. Total bit rate = 4.4Mbps Audio bit rate…
