user5555: I have a video I made in Premiere Pro that is like slides with 150MB audio. How can I export it to a reasonable size?
When I try to export it, it exports to a size of 7GB
I could perhaps do something with some other software to make it smaller, but i'm wondering if premiere pro has any option?
If not then what do you suggest I can do to other software to make it smaller?
The video portion is just slides showing text, and the slides some change after 5 seconds near the start, then every 5 minutes or so.

user25579: I've seen this question asked a few times here, see Best export settings for still image with audio and also Upload edited video to YouTube - I suspect it has been asked other times as well.
Most of the end-user / commercially available encoders require a "broadcast" standard frame rate (25fps/30fps/etc), and the outputting of all those frames ramps up the file size. Some online services seem to be using variable frame rate (VFR) encoders (see Facebook, referenced in the "edited video to YouTube" link above), which just encode the still frames each time they change (sometimes with minutes between each new frame), and drastically reduce the file sizes. If anyone knows of such an encoder being available to the general public, that is the answer to all of these questions - I'm yet to find one.
Without a VFR encoder, you're stuck with one of the generally available codecs like H.264, where all you can really do is just push the compression as hard as you can before the image turns to rubbish, but you're still going to get quite large files out of it.
