Sounds like a codec issue. Perhaps you're rendering it out as like Animation Codec or an Uncompressed codec. That would bloat the file size a lot. Or if you're up-scaling it to like HD resolutions and using an uncompressed codec of some kind, that combination would definitely cause some file size bloating.





So check your render settings and use a codec like H.264. That would deliver a lot better file sizes for you.





If you're unclear of how to do that, I would actually try the Adobe User to User forums or like the DVX User forum. You'll find a lot more people that use AE on a regular basis there.Adobe after effects? videos rendering at very large size. please help?
you need to select a video codec to compress the video, e.g. Divx, Xvid, Mpeg, etc.
