Know file size before compressing? Compressor 3

[bigteethproductions]

Hi,

Just wondering if there is any way in the new compressor to determine what the outputted file's size will be (file size, not dimensions)?

For outputting to sites like YouTube etc. you need to be under a minimum and as we all know you can compress something that takes hours and have it end up being 102 MB and then go through the whole process again.

So, if I could know what my file will be before compressing I can play with the settings to get the best I can under that max.

thanks.

click the first icon in the inspector above the "summary" word. look about 5 lines down, it will say something like... Estimated file size: 12.24 MB

Thanks a lot. I'm sure that's been there all along, I just never knew where it was. That helps alot.
