What settings do I use when exporting from Premiere to maintain quality but not have huge files?
Hello,
I stream on Twitch then upload the recordings of the streams to Youtube. Last night I needed to edit one of the recordings in Premiere, and when I exported the video with the exact same settings that it had when I imported it, the size went from 8 GB to 3 TB. That is a ridiculous increase in file size obviously. If I have OBS record my stream at:
High Quality, Medium File Size
.mkv
Hardware (NVENC, H.264)
AAC
What should I set my Premiere settings to when exporting that same file to maintain quality, but not have a ridiculous increase in file size.
Also If I use the built in Remux in OBS to make the files mp4 would I lose quality? I have been using ffmpeg because I know that no quality would be lost with it.
Thanks.

Remux in OBS is just a remux between containers, the image doesn’t change
You listed a codec but not any actual quality settings or resolution or anything you’re recording at
Sorry I am still learning. The other settings that I was able to find are listed below. If there are other ones you need could you let me know where to find them? Thanks.
