I have about 325 frames rendered with high sample rate (about 10 in Mantra). And with Full HD Camera.
The rendered size runs usually over 1 to 2 Gb.
Is that usual? It takes a lots of space in my Mac.
Are there anything wrong in H12 or in my computer?
Can any one help me how to reduce the size ?

Check you bit depth and AOVs. Are you rendering deep images? They can easily take a lot of space…

Cheers

Can you explain more I can not understand what deep image is.

Is it 1-2GB for the whole 325 frames sequence or 1-2GB *per frame*?

If it's for the whole.. that's quite a normal and expected size.

Than you're probably not using it…

Here's more on Deep Images:

I agree with Protozoan.

That is the whole 325 frame sequence.
So the size 1 -2 Gb is usual Right ?
Thank you very much.

That is like 6mb/frame, that's not much at all. I'm rendering some stuff at work right now where I have roughly 130mb/frame.

Thanks folks

If you want to render smaller file sizes, you can use JPEG(.jpg) file format

The Jpgs will be compressed and is definately not the recommended normal workflow but it's got good visual quality if you just want to see the render.

Thank you very much. I will try it.
