Hi @hewonders , I wouldn’t expect any changes in the near future and by the way, this is not a fix because it’s an intended behavior, what you wish for is a new feature that will allow you to create a non intra-compression h264 (look it up to see what that means), in short, most video encoding software use that is known as IPB or GOP h264 compression, while Cubase only allows INTRA compression that doesn’t include P and B-frames, only i-frames. it’s great and much better for video playback in DAWs but larger in size to get to the same picture quality as IPB/GOP compressed h264 achieves with much lower video bitrate, hence, smaller file size.
You can always re-render the video that comes out of Cubase to shrink it or don’t use it at all if you only do it to insert your sound mix into the video.
Either way, I’m quite certain they have much more pressing matters to attend to before they get to this issues, or at least that’s how I expect them to handle it.
Hope it helps.
