Exporting size

Was import format mpeg, or some other fairly compressed format, and the export format perhaps AVI? Don’t know if it would grow that much, but has to be a compression thing…

The capture is a dv capture and the export is avi

with 7.0, you can export “uncompressed avi”, “microsoft avi”, or “dv avi”. Which one (I am assuming you selected export/movie to export the timeline) did you use, and did you export work-area bar, or entire sequence? Sometimes, I forget to set properties as “work area bar only” and this chews up some space…

BTW, I just tried exporting a short captured clip, 407.6 MB DV Avi, to a movie using “uncompressed avi”, and it turned out 3.1 GB! I have never used this export compression, but did not realize it increased size that much.
