Exporting issues...

Riddle me this dvxusers:

(Note: I'm using FCP here) I exported my timeline (5 and a half minutes), H.264 compression, 1280x720. 60MB. Pretty good. I changed the aspect ratio (new timeline, copy/paste / recenter accordingly). Exported the SAME WAY (except my size was "custom" 1280x545 (the current settings for the timeline) instead of 1280x720). This one is 208MB. What gives?!
 
You sure it had the same bitrate and everything? I always export a very high bitrate file and then compress with Handbrake to H264. For some reason I feel like I have better control over the filesize in that program.
 
Ha! Just make sure you set an Average Bitrate on the video tab and you should be good. All my cuts have been 60 to 80 mb at 1600 to 2000 kb/s. You could probably squeeze some more bitrate and get closer to 100.
