Freezes on publish - too large project

(sorry for my English)
Flash Catalyst cs5.5 is freezing when iam trying to publish or run the project.
Sometimes there is a message:
"Flash catalyst cannot publish this project because it is too large. Try removing one or more media assets from your project and try again"
When it is not fully animated it works with no problem but when everything is animated-all links it frreezes on "Run the project" or "cant publish.." on Publish.
With 7 main menu links animated and 13 submenu (component) not animated it works
With 7 main menu links animated and 13 submenu (component) animated it freez, program not responding.
Iam on Mac OSX 10.6.8 but the same happens on Windows 7 64bit.
iMac: i7 2.93, 10gb ddr3.
Please help me with this.

It does work

Cp 5 crashes during publishing of large projects

I have large Captivate 5 projects with 300-450 slides divided into 2 to 4 slide groups. When I publish the SWF file, the publishing process always freezes at 70% and the application crashes (can't hit Cancel in the progress window ).
This is not due to any particular file; many of my large projects run into this problem.
This is probably not due to a particular slide since all the projects freeze at 70% and I can publish each slide group in its own project without any trouble.
The projects are straightforward demonstrations; no quizzing.
Scouring the net I've had trouble finding a resolution to the problem. I use Captivate 5.0.3.631
Hoping for ideas. Thanks for reading
-Patrick
PS.
I've tried:
> In publish dialog "Advanced Options", to enable "force re-publish all the slides"
> In Preferences > "SWF Size and Quality", to disable "Advanced Project Compression"
> In Preferences > "SWF Size and Quality", to disable "Compress SWF File"
> In Preferences > "SWF Size and Quality", to enable "Compress Full Motion Recording SWF file"
> to remove the slide groups and leave the slides ungrouped
> In Publish dialog, to publish as .f4v instead of swf
> to hide all the slides in a slide group in order to reduce the publish SWF to 200 or 250 slides.
None of these have worked.

Vikranth --
Through process of elimination, I have found the offending slide -- Slide 55 in the Captivate 5 version, which incorporates several fill-in-the-blank questions. When I hide that one slide, everything previews and/or publishes as it should. I had my colleague test her original Captivate 4 version in Captivate 4, and that slide worked just fine (it is however a slightly later slide number) -- the entire project previewed as expected. I then had her import her orginal file into Captivate 5 and do the same thing, and it crashed for her as well.
So, it must be something about the way that particular slide is setup that screws up somehow in the conversion from a Captivate 4 file to a Captivate 5 file. I'll just handle that question differently to fix the issue at hand, but do you have any idea why this problem might have occured in the first place? It seems that the patch didn't correct this situation as it corrected most of the other Captivate 4 to Captivate 5 issues.
Thanks to everyone for their help. I had to play detective and isolate the issue, and haven't solved it, but at least now I have a starting point to try and do the slide in a different way to work around the issue.

Need to get a too large project onto a DVD

I have a 9.5 GB iMovie 6 project that I need to get to a video editor, and because of the size, I cant get it on a DL DVD. Short of manually splitting it in two and burning each to a DVD, is there any other way I can get this project out? This project was made in iMovie 6, but I have iMovie 8 also available.
I was afraid that if I just manually split the project, that the export would bring what is in the timeline as well as what is in the clipboard. Or do I need to split, make a copy and then delete 1/2 (and empty trash) for each half of the project?
Thx

Hi tcwaters - you need to explain more clearly what you are trying to do. Is the editor a person or a piece of software, or a piece of hardware?
What editing is required beyond what editing you do in iMovie itself?
You can share each half of your project to a full quality Quicktime file. This will get rid of unused clip segments, but will of course embed any transitions, titles, effects etc. Some editing would still be possible however.
You could copy your movie back to DV tape and send that off to your editor (if a person).
Get back to us.

I am trying to render a movie in ilife 11. Error appears: Unable to prepare project for publishing. The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occured. (project is too large). It is only 1:39:00. Any ideas? Thanks! Marv

this error occurs. Unable to prepare project for publishing. The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occured. (Project is too Long)
I know this isn't true, as it is only 1:39:31. I have a mac with 160mb and 160 gb available. Could this be the problem? If so how can I remove some things to make room? Thanks!!

By exporting to the right format a movie of an hour and forty minutes could potentially use up 160 GB, exactly what format are you exporting to. additionally I'm not clear what you mean when you say your mac has 160 MB and 160 GB available.

Bypass "Project Too Large" for iMovie YouTube Publishing?

Hello,
When attempting to upload a YouTube video over 10 minutes using iMovie, it will not allow me saying that the Project is too large and must be under 10 minutes. The thing is, I am able to upload video over 10 minutes because I signed up to YouTube when they allowed over 10 minute videos. I can still upload the videos if I do it manually but I wish there was a way to bypass this in iMovie. Any tips or suggestions besides telling me to do it manually?
Thanks.

Hi y'all,
I am having a simlar issue with iMovie for iPad.
My files are way to big to export.
The fileis is 2.4GB and I can only export 500MB to Vimeo.
It's 63 mins and I can only export 15 mins to youtube!
I recorded a video diary and have clipped the file/project in the original project/timeline in to day recordings. I have been unable to find a way to export those individual clips (day recordings) in to separate folders. I was hoping I could export individual clips in to sepearate folders then export them.
I hope this makes sense?
If it does please let me know if this possible with imovie for iPad?
Thank you!

Final project too large on TV

iDVD has an option under 'View" to show TV viewing areas so you can see what will show and what will be cut off.

I can't get a captivate 4,041kb file to publish, is it too large?

I can't get a Captivate file 4,041kb to publish, is the file too large?

If your publishing attempt is stalling at a given percentage, there may be something in your project which is preventing it from successfully completing. There are a couple of possible solutions:
1. Turn off all compression options under Preferences > Project > SWF Quality. Then try again.
2. Hide slides in sections of your project and try republishing. This process of elimination may help you to locate where the issue lies.

Whats going on when after i have put my new project it tells me that cannot burn because my encode it too large for DVD

I am trying to convert a video into a dVd i did one and it will not play on my blueray, but, at least it will do on my computer. Now i am trying to do a different dvd and it tells me after i have downlowed my new project, that i cannot burn the idvd because it is too large check my encoded?

The reason why your DVD will not play maybe your choice of disk.
Was it a DVD + or DVD - ?
Always use a good quality DVD blank disk, at least Verbatim and check what format your player will play.
Next, to achieve the best quality export from iMovie, Share your Project to Media Browser.
Then open iDVD and use the media button (bottom right) to import your movie.
A possible reason that you are getting a too large error message is the time length of your DVD.
The default setting in iDVD for Encoding is Best Performance (60mins) and you need to change this to either High Qualirty or Professional Quality which will allow more to be encoded on the disc (120 mins).
iDVD > Project > Project Info > Encoding to change this setting and see on the Capacity slider if your project will fit.
Otherwise check how much free space you have on your HD.
Z.
PS Slow your burn speed down to x4 for error free results.

How do I open a project in CS6 when it's apparently become too large (1.68 GB) to load?

I have a project that was recently sent back to me by someone who was working on the audio. When it was sent to me it was around 217 MB. After working on the project for a few more days before sending it out for color correction and additional audio work, I'm all of a sudden unable to load the project. My guess is that it has become too large to open, because now it is 1.68 GB. I don't know how that happened. I haven't applied any additional effects or brought in more media. All I've done is make trims to the picture and merged 3 sequences. I'm trying to figure out how I can open the project and, if I do need to make it smaller in order to continue working on it, is there a way to do so without losing the work that I've recently done? Thanks!

I'm trying to "import select sequences" from that project into a new project but it won't load. The loading bar is stopping about a quarter of the way through, same as it did when I recently tried to load the project normally. The loading bar has been sitting there at a quarter full for about 20 minutes now. A friend of mine tried to load the project (I sent him a zip file through Dropbox.) onto his computer yesterday and couldn't get it to open either.

Project too large but under 2 hrs...how do i fit?

Compiled project is 108.5 MB too large for currently selected disc media.
How do I lower the bitrate or quality to fit?

Make the audio AC3 if you have not done so and you probably do not have to reencode video

"Project too large" message

Hello-
I am a new Mac users and love it so far!! I have a question on the iMovie. When I import my clips. edit them, and them click on the Create iDVD Project to create a project I often get "project is too large" message. How can I easily tell how much video I can import from my digital camcorder so I don't have to keep having this problem? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!! I am using the 4.7GB dvd disks and know I can move to the higher capacity but since I am converting so much video tape to DVD I would rather stick with the less expensive DVD's for now. Thanks so much!!!

Hello, David!
What no break for a beer or an ice cream???
Ha Ha! It takes about twice as long to make the iMovies as it does to view them! Of course I took many breaks as I was putting each one together! No beer, though, I am more the chocolate break type (It doesn't matter what form the chocolate is in...candy, ice cream, cookies)
I haven't got grandchildren yet....our daughter just married last year, so I am hoping to have my movies all completed before I begin making ones of grandchildren!
Maybe I will become as organized as you are by then

How to backup an iMovie project that is too large for the dvd?

This may be obvious, and it was probably answered elsewhere, but I'm trying to clean off my hard drive by saving my iMovie projects to two sets of dvds (one for home and one set for safekeeping at work). When saving one project as an archive, it just says this project is too large for a disc. Is it possible to stuff it as a .sitx file and then save that onto dvd? Is there a better solution than an external hard drive (which I've had a couple of fail on me).

DVD's can only hold about 4.7 GB's of DV Stream format (the format used by iMovie).
DV Stream is 13 GB's per hour of recording so it would take 3 DVD's to "store" your data for a one hour capture.
"Export" (back to tape) or use iDVD to "burn" an MPEG-2 version of your file.
Only the "tape" version would not require some type of conversion on import.

I am trying to upload an imovie to youtube. it says project too large but i have permission for larger projects. Help and thanks.

I am trying to upload an imovie to youtube. It keeps saying "project too large" even though I have permission from youtube for over 15 minutes. Please help. Thanks.

share the video via a quicktime movie in whatever format you want to use, I usually create an mp4. Once you that video is set (I usually save to my desktop) go ahead and upload from YouTube rather than going direct from iMovie. I suspect you will not have the same size issue.

IMovie Project too Large posting to Youtube

My Youtube account is approved for more than 15 minutes and greater than 20GB, yet iMovie tells me It's too large, and that it needs to be under 15 mins and under 2GB. Is this a restriction with iMovie?

How to back up my imovie project, clips are too large

I am using iMovie HD 5.02, and I have a video clip imported as one clip only. The problem is the clip is 9gb and obviously that cannot be saved as archive on normal dvd.
How can I split this into smaller clips so that I can save it on two dvd's as archive file.
I have tried archive from within the program and it is too large of a file.
Thanks

Hi Jeff,
the cat gave you all hints needed, just to add my c€nts:
tape is better then dvd-rs! I mentioned my experiment here often: place a dvd-r in bright sunlight for ~5min - all data gone, nirvana, wooshaway.... mini-DV is much more robust compared to that.
to backup data larger then 4.4GB you should think of socalled "data spanning", tools as Toast7 are able to do so, it will chop bigger files into smaller parts, will ask for more dvd-rs and is able to recover such files back into one single one...
best practice is indeed a second drive, which offers as a sideeffect best convenience => instant access to data from within iM....
