How to improve Quik Desktop export quality?

[hardysand06424]

Recently picked up a Hero7 Black (first GoPro) and the export quality of Quik seems terrible. Recorded footage in 1080p60.

The 30s Quik video is only 56mb (bitrate 13866kbps).

A 30s Vegas export test is 300mb (51865kbps).

The difference below is obvious. Is there any way to improve Quik? Would love to use it, if possible.

I'm running a custom built Win10 machine (roughly 4 years old) with an i5, GTX 770, 16 GB RAM, SSD. However, I would expect my PC specs should not affect the quality of the export, just the amount of time the render takes.

Would mobile be better? Should I try on my 2018 MacBook Pro? iPhone?

Thanks!
