Lens Studio needs to support videos. A short video (audio and video) that would work great for a lens is 768 KB. However, when I export to images and then sprite sheets? That number explodes to over 20 MB because the image animation doesn't compress nearly as well as a video.
Even if we only got XYZ codecs, that would be fine. Just some sort of compression that is actually designed for videos rather than the GIF like system that is currently present.

Keep an eye out for a followup email from us. We may have a couple more questions for you, or we might already have a solution to offer.
Happy creating!
Hey Charles! I understand that when you export a video to sprite sheets, the file size easily exceeds the Lens size limit. One thing you can try is to drop every 2 frames or a few frames to lower the number of frames.
I know this might not be ideal. I have added your requests to our feature request lists!
