Hello, so I was animating this 40-minute podcast but since i have such a low end pc i exported the puppets individually in a 1500x1500 resulotion in a high bite rate format and in estimated at about 2.8 GB file size. Is that normal? I think thats way too much for a 40 min mp4.

File size depends on bit rate/data rate, format, visual complexity, and duration. 2.8 GB for a 40-minute MP4 isn't out of line, but it doesn't mean you can't compress the file more and save space without losing too much quality. What Export Settings are you choosing? Are you exporting directly from Character Animator to Adobe Media Encoder?  Are you using one of the MP4 presets like "Adaptive High Bit Rate" or "High Bit Rate?" You can go into the settings and change values, but without anymore information I can only suggest these general recommendations.
