    2GB you mean the output or the source file?

    If you’re asking about your rendered file, that really depends on your render settings.
    Full HD uncompressed can easily be about 2 GB for 10 seconds.
    This page [link] explains more.

    My basic process (and that of many other professionals) is to render an uncompressed file out of AE and then use Sorensen Squeeze, Quicktime Pro, Adobe Media Encoder, or another dedicated compression app to create your final product.
