Series of photos -> movie w/ reasonable size & good q

[schmoppa]

I set up my camera to take 100 photos with a 9 minute interval at 640x480 resolution. I did not move the camera during the series.

The photos take up about 10MB of space as they are currently.

I want to create a movie with them and add a soundtrack, but the movie sizes get pretty huge, like almost 20MB exporting with MPEG4.

I am sure there should be at least some common elements, frame to frame, since the camera never moved during the series.

In Premiere I imported the photos, giving them a value of 30FPS.

I then created a sequrence with them.

In exporting the series I tried setting the FPS to 1FPS to see if that would help, but it didn't seem to.

I'm new to video editing, so I was hoping someone out there might suggest a solution... I'd like to aim for about 5-7MB, with a soundtrack, about a second per photo (so 1.40), and I'd like to keep the current resolution is possible (640x480).

Is this just not possible?

Can anyone explain why, if the originals themselves amount to 10MB, why I would get 20MB using MPEG4?

Thanks,
Schmoppa

Slide Show Movie Maker does ok making slideshow AVI files and you can encode them to whatever you want.

Hope it works out for you. Nice little program, IMO. I've done some pretty cool stuff with it.
