the project might be 42gb, but you should be exporting out to something with compression at the end. ---

> [@theblue](#): > > the project might be 42gb, but you should be exporting out to something with compression at the end. Just seems like a very large project. I used the same video about 5 times. (different spots of the same video which is about 8 minutes long on the original) I cut them down for the sections I needed, added one song. The final video is about 6 minutes. I’ll have to look at the settings again and see what its setup for for rendering. Edit: I didnt change anything with the quality of the video on the software, just used the original quality as final product. - - - Updated - - - [![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/7/8/789be5f9162354dc7d2e7df27b5049df97ed2342.jpeg "Eagle Trail McCarty Hill State Forest") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceWUePNYMDo) This is the video they say is 42gb. lol ---
