Hi Joan,

I recently recorded some video in 4k 60 fps for analysis.

When I create a side by side video analysis (either vertical or horz) It exports as a HUGE file size (over two GB) even though the original videos are only 100-200mb for example. The exported MP4 or AVI file are then not playable in any player.

Any help appreciated. Although I am assuming it's an issue with source files?

It's not a problem with the source files.

Right now the only encoding profile supported is quite conservative, it is optimized for frame-by-frame playback (back and forth) so each frame is encoded independently (MJPEG). This takes way more space than typical approaches optimized for forward playback. Having other encoding profiles for export is on the roadmap and a priority but haven't gotten around to it yet.

It should be playable in VLC or any player that supports MJPEG.

In the recent versions the export was changed to be based on the original file size instead of the viewport size which means in your case it will export an 8K width video, it will be important to have an option to specify the output size as well.
