How come sometimes when I make a movie, the file size is pretty small, even when it’s long, and other times (like my current one for instance), where I dont have that much stuff in it yet, but it’s already huge! Is there a way to shrink the file size, making it easier to load/upload?  
I have photos (bmp) that I converted into symbols, which I think could be a problem. However, I’ve done this before and the file size wasn’t that big. Thanks for your help again!
