Yeah, standing still/moving doesn't drive up the file size if you set an average bit rate
HOWEVER
If you stand still, the bitrate will drop during that time, and then increase afterwards during periods of activity, and the video will be clearer on those parts. This only happens to a small degree for single pass encodes. Multipass encodes will be more optimized, and for the best quality you can actually define zones and tell it to use a really really low bitrate on slow/standing still parts, and then use super high bitrate when theres activity all over the screen.
I do this for low quality run, to try and make it as clear as possible, even though it takes a while to go through the run and map out all the zones. However, since you encode at an average bitrate, i.e., 2048kbps for High Quality, then it will be 2048kilobits per second, regardless of the activity during those seconds.
