I have a WMV file (4.6 MB) that has a bad sound track. I started a new Premiere project and placed the MP4 file, split the audio track, and used Audition to fix the problems with the sound.
Then I opened the file in Media Encoder (2014) and I've tried numerous settings to export the file as MP4, AVI, or WMV. My exported WMV is 40MB. The MP4 is 108MB. The AVI was over 1GB.
I've tried reducing the frame rate to 10fps. I've used various HD 720p presets. No matter what I do, the smallest file I've been able to create is 10 times the size of the original.
Clearly I'm doing something wrong.
I know a fair amount about audio, but very little about video. After several hours of searching online resources, all I have is more questions.
It's there a Media Encoder for Dummies section?
Thanks.
