I recorded a Camtasia screen capture that was about 35mins long, and the project file is ~700mb. I then started edited and was exclusively using Ripple Delete to trim the bloopers. The length of the file video/audio is now around 18mins, but the file size of the project is still 700Mb! Why is this so? Why is the media file not reduced with the deletes?

When I exported to mp4 (default export settings), the file size of the MP4 dropped to 495Mb, which I don't get. I have not been able to fathom out the settings needed to get large size (on screen), but lower file size videos. I just now have taken the 495Mb Camtasia mp4 and converted it via handbrake to a 33Mb mp4 file, so looks like it it possible - just need to find the settings that are making it so !
cheers
