I'm recording videos in HEVC 4:3 4k 24fps, and the bitrate looks to be around 110 Mbps. This is really excessive for my videos which are targeted at YouTube, consuming close to 1GB per minute of video. Is there a setting to reduce the bitrate by a lot? Maybe at least half that? Even 35 Mbps looks good when recording 4k24 in HEVC.
It's good to have the higher bitrate option, but for me the higher bitrate doesn't end up noticable, so it's usually just wasting a lot of hard drive space. I would rather not have to reencode every video from my action 4 down to a more reasonable size.
Youtube's official reccommendations are below, when using h.264, which is less efficient than HEVC.
