The same thing goes for the Snake Effect ...
If you have a lot of effects in your movie -- you will definately have a lot of Place tags - therefore, the file size will go up considerably ...
It's better to use less of those effects -- shorten the length of each effect -- and stick to simple effects (Fade In/Out, Place, Remove, etc.)
ps. I've used 1 single Snake effect in the past that made the file size over 600kb ... just to give you an idea of just HOW BIG effects can get.

This was exactly what I needed. I cut the effect to a minimum and managed to reduce the file from 1.9mb to 203Kb. THANKS!
