I use Openshot because my editing needs are quite simple and it fills
them very well.

I have noticed that the resulting mp4 files are HUGE (up to 10x the
size of the unedited versions, even when the unedited ones are way too
long!).

I routinely run ffmpeg on the edited output with no transformations,
just a straight 'ffmpeg -i <input-file> <output-file>', and it
routinely shrinks them anywhere from 25% to 90% with no loss of
quality.

I also routinely do that on camcorder recordings because they too are
usually enormously bloated.

YMMV. HTH.
