How to Reduce Premiere Render File Size

Have you found that most video editing software render files are very large, such as Adobe Premiere render file, Affect Effects render file. Actually, a large file is not convenient for uploading to video sharing website, or sharing with friends. Below is a question from Adobe forum:

I have a series of 5-7 minute training videos that I provide on YouTube and for download. The videos include live footage, imported audio, and image overlay. I haven't implemented any video effects or major transitions, other that 'Cross Dissolve.' I export to mp4/H.264 codec, reducing bitrate and frame size (even though I understand this shouldn't matter as much), but am still ending up with 250-300MB files. While I am able to upload to YouTube, I'm not able to provide these files for download as they are considered too large.

How to reduce the Premiere file size become a common question for most video makers. So today I would not talk about reducing file size by adjusting the output preset in Premiere, cause it doesn't work at all.

Step 3: This part is important. After you select desired format, click "Settings" and enter "Profile Settings" window, you can adjust video parameters here. The video size is based more on bit rate than pix, lower bit rate to get smaller video size. I always select medium quality or low quality to reduce Premiere render file size.
