Hi there,
I have a video taken on my iPhone 11 which is 94 mb. I loaded into Shotcut, did some editing cutting bits out, and detached the audio and removed it. I had a wav which was a mix of some audio I recorded separately at the same time as the vid which I then added. The wav file was 48 mb in size, and this also got cut down in the editing to match the vid.
I added a Fade In and Fade Out filter and exported this using YouTube option and the file size created is 50.4 mb. The video goes for 2:21 mins.
I then added the filters:
- Old Film - Scratches
- Old Film - Dust
- Old Film - Grain
- Saturation
I then exported this with the exact same YouTube setting, and the file size is 638 mb.
How can the file size be so radically bigger? It is like 12 times bigger.
What have I done wrong here?
