<p>There may not be a direct preset for 4K, but you can simply use the Mainconcept AVC module to export 4K. Simply select one of the 1080p presets, like <strong>Internet 1080p</strong>, then customize template to choose a custom frame size and enter your project resolution e.g. 4096 x 2304. Change average bitrate to <code>40,000,000</code>. Match the frame rate to your project frame rate, and you should be good to go.</p>

<p>So from my knowledge (and actual experience) Vegas 13 has <em>one</em> option for exporting 4k videos. My phone has a 4k camera, and recently I built a beefy computer and decided to edit some 4k footage.</p>

<p>The final product was exactly 2 minutes long, and (not kidding here) <strong>exactly</strong> 4GB. It was exported to NTFS formatted drive.</p>

<p>The video played fine on MPC-HC video player, and looked great! But why is the file size so huge?! Does Vegas 14 improve on this or is there a plugin for 13 to make it easier?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

So from my knowledge (and actual experience) Vegas 13 has *one* option for exporting 4k videos. My phone has a 4k camera, and recently I built a beefy computer and decided to edit some 4k footage.

The final product was exactly 2 minutes long, and (not kidding here) **exactly** 4GB. It was exported to NTFS formatted drive.

The video played fine on MPC-HC video player, and looked great! But why is the file size so huge?! Does Vegas 14 improve on this or is there a plugin for 13 to make it easier?

Thanks!

There may not be a direct preset for 4K, but you can simply use the Mainconcept AVC module to export 4K. Simply select one of the 1080p presets, like **Internet 1080p**, then customize template to choose a custom frame size and enter your project resolution e.g. 4096 x 2304. Change average bitrate to `40,000,000`. Match the frame rate to your project frame rate, and you should be good to go.
