Kevin,
Combining video assets on a timeline does not create a file size of the sum
of the constituent parts. Even though one of your assets is 38mb, and the
other is 7mb, that has no bearing on the final size.
Rather, the final size is a product of the length of the movie, and the
export settings such as frame size, compressor ("codec"), bit depth, etc.
So what we need to know is -- what are your exact export settings? And, why
are you exporting? (i.e., what will you do with it once you export it?) This
will help us to determine if you are using the right method, settings, etc.

what i've got is a long software training file, 38 mb and about 30 minutes
long, made by one of those desktop capture programs. i created a heading
against an animated background in after effects. i put the two clips
together in premiere pro along with a few dissolves. the computer simulation
file is a .wmv file and looks to be shot in 256 colors or less at 10/fs.
since i've got the ae .avi opening file down to about 7 mb, i would have
expected to generate about a 45 mb file (the ae project also runs at 10/fs),
when the two clips were assembled. that hasn't happened.
i've tried matching up the output audio with the audio on the simulation,
and choosing all manor of options in export movie and also using the adobe
media encoder. seems no matter what i try the output file is huge -
sometimes half a gig but usually at least twice the size it ought to be.
(and it takes forever to render.) i need to run this across an intranet so i
must get the file size down. i know the frame size is big too - 879 x 688,
but i've tried reducing this to 640 x 480 and still the files are too big.
also, they're often very blurred looking. what's up with that?
what settings do i use to bring the file size down? what i'd like is to
generate a file that represents the combined file size of the clips i'm
actually using. would be great to do this at the frame size of the original
clip too.
and also, is there anything i can do to improve the render time?
