Project Bloating and Repair in Premiere Pro CS6; Max Project File Size? Adobe Coders Welcome...

Greetings.
After a few browsing sessions, I haven't found direction for a specific problem within a project bloat. First and foremost; we're always backed up. I have a restoration copy of the project that I will reference herein. Check that off the list.
Numerous people have posted here and around Creative Cow with problems regarding an expanding file size using CS6; watching files go from 300mb to 2.8gb. The unfortunate problem is when the project crosses a magical line that results in an inablity to open, import, export, or access sequences contained therein. Has anyone addressed a solution to repairing Premiere CS6 save files? Reducing file bloat? I haven't seen anything (recall the FCP7 repair days... solutions existed because problems were frequent; thankfully not so bad with Adobe).
Does anyone inside the code size know the maximum project file size that Premiere can read? I created a monster... Over 200 sequences utilizing 4.5TB of footage, stretching from Red codecs to EXCam to MPEG4 and H264. And for some time, the project size was manageable. Then, it inflated. And one day, randomly stopped opening. None of the auto-saves open.
Just curious. Files aren't the problem, but the 2.8GB save file is. Machine specs // etc. are openly available if required; no bad ram, no problems with all projects (just this one beast).
Cheers,
Jon Michael Ryan

Premiere Pro CS6, large project file size - crashing etc

Working on a project in Premiere Pro CS6 - also incorporating after effects and using 2 external plugins (Beauty Box and Factory Pro FX). Project is over 500MB, lots of comps, titles etc. project seems to be corrupt on my machine. .The project crashes continually. I cannot save my work, I cannot export, I cannot create XML and media is linking incorrectly. When I pull the project in on my laptop (separate machine) which has CC 2014 running, the project is FINE. That said - I need to work off of the more powerful machine to do this job - so need to find a way to troubleshoot. Note - project opens on my partner's machine, she can save + export, etc - however the media in still linking incorrectly on her machine as well (note partner does not have the 2 plugins, beauty box and factory Pro FX) - that said, it still links to the wrong media.
We have worked out a work-arond where we pull all of the AE sequences out of Premiere and into separate AE project which has made the project workable again but we know something is WRONG and we need to fix for future ASAP.
please help!
thank you

Forcing Premiere Pro CS6 to Index Files.

The search bar is greyed out in the Project Panel in Premiere Pro CS6. Above the search box it says (Items to index 12). How do I get Premiere Pro CS6 to index files?

I ended up closing the Premiere and re-opening it and that prompted it to index everything. My co-worker had a few pieces of media whose link was broken because she had moved the files. She had to re-link those files to get Premiere to re-index.
Hope that helps

Working with video and photos in Premiere Pro CS6

Hi Folks.
I am a LONG TIME Adobe Premiere 5 user. NOT CS5, Adobe Premeire 5!! Yes, from the 1990's!! Recently I went back to college and taking advantage of the educational store, I treated myself to Adobe Master Collection CS6. I LOVE IT!!!
I'm just back from holidays where I snapped loads of photos at 14Mpx and video at 720p HiDef on my camera. I now want to compile a holiday video of my photos and videos telling the story of my holiday. I always do this and in Adobe Premeire 5 I had it nailed down. This is my first big outing with Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and while I'm making some good headway with it, there are so many differences that I have a few questions...
1.
My movie is being made at the resolution of my video footage, 1280 x 720. My photos are MUCH bigger then this. When I place a photo on the timeline, because it's much bigger then the video resolution I have to right click on it on the timeline and select Scale To Fit Screen or whatever the option is. This works great as the whole photo then shrinks down to fit within the video resolution. But it's a pain as I have LOADS of photos!! Is there a way to make photos default to fitting on the video resolution when I place them on the timeline? I don't want to resize them in Photoshop to fit the resolution as I plan to move and zoom into the photos as part of the video so I want to keep them at their 14Mpx size.
2.
When I place a photo and a video side by side in the timeline, why can't I place a Cross Disolve transition overlapping the two of them? The transition just overlaps the video start/end depending on where it is. If I put two photos side by side, the transition will overlap the top of them on the timeline. Haven't tried it with two videos yet.
That's it for now. Making slow but good headway. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Paul.

Start by downrezzing your photos in PS to a more manageable size. If you don't need pan and scan, just use 1280x720. You can batch resize them in PS and it will make the editing experience a lot better, putting less overhead on the system and resulting in a much snappier response.
Read about handles in the Help file for transitions. You need extra material at the end on a clip and the beginning of the next clip.

Slow motion and trailing in premiere pro cs6

attached is a sample of a clip edited years ago with liquid edition.
In liquid edition "timewarp editor" you could create slow motion together with trailing effect as it shows in the attached clip.
I wonder if it can be done in premiere pro cs6
thanks arikw

Well, you could do it manually if you wanted to. Just pile up a few tracks of the same clip and offset each one by a frame or two from the others. Then set the opacity to something low, like 25%, and see how that looks.
There may be an effect for it that I just am not familiar with.

Change default Premiere Pro CS6 importing of files so it's NOT alphabetical

With Premiere Pro CS5, I was able to import my Photoshop files with multiple layers (shapes, text, images, etc) and they would appear in order of Photoshop organization. For example:
Layers in Photoshop CS5:
Logo
Address
Main Text
Background
Importing them into Premiere Pro CS5:
Logo
Address
Main Text
Background
Notice the order stays the same.
Now that I have purchased CS6, everytime I try to import the layers into Premiere, they are imported alphabetically.
Layers in Photoshop CS6: (still same)
Logo
Address
Main Text
Background
Importing them into Premiere Pro CS6: (now alphabetical)
Address
Background
Logo
Main Text
How do I change the default setting so it imports in the same order as Photoshop? I would like this version to be the new default as I use this everyday for work.
Any help would be appreciated.
CS6 newbie, CS5 intermediate

In both cases, the PSD imported in the exact order I had it in Photoshop. I even went back into Photoshop, changed the order, reimported and it came in with the new order. So unfortunately, I'm not able to reproduce the issue. Which means I have no means to find a cause or test a fix.

Premiere Pro CS6 extreme project bloating and Media Encoder

Hi there,
I'm interested in hearing if others are having this issue and if there's a fix. I first noticed this bug in CS5 and it hasn't changed in CS6.0.1. An editor I'm working with recently discovered the problem at the expense of a project being usable the day before clients are coming in to work on cuts.
Here's what's happening: we have a 20MB commercial project, no warp stabilizer in play, no frequent "save as..." commands being used, both of which seem to contribute to project bloating based on some online research. I've been using Premiere as a finishing timeline since CS5 and noticed back then, when we were making some settings in Media Encoder, that when you click and drag sequences into ME instead of using the "Add Premiere Pro Sequence" menu option, the Premiere project file size quickly increases and saves and autosaves start taking several minutes to complete.
We've been using the "Add Premiere Pro Sequence" method to send things to ME on this project but the editor was getting impatient the amount of time it was taking for ME to load the project and get to the point where he could pick which sequences he wanted to encode. He did a bit of research and found the click and drag method to be faster. After a handful of times using this method, the project size went from 20MB to 3.71GB. Our autosave folder is set keep 5 versions of the project and you can see the project size doubling from 477MB to 840MB to 1.6GB.
I was able to import the 477MB project into a new project and save it out at its original size of 20MB. However, this meant that we lost about 90 minutes worth of work. I tried to import the 3.71GB file overnight and it had made no progress when I came in this AM.
Reading online, I found that the "Save As..." command had previously caused some kind of duplication of preview file links in the project code. I opened up our 20MB project in TextWrangler and compared it to the 840MB project's lines of code. The 20MB project had 400k lines and the 840MB project had about a million. The difference appeared to stem from links to Preview files. I wanted to try to clear those out to see if I could get the project size down but, probably because of the file size, TextWrangler crashed.
Is there any way to clean out the bloat from these projects without importing into a new project? Also, are there settings in Media Encoder or Premiere that will prevent the bloat from happening when using the click-drag method of getting sequences into ME? We're using the "Use Preview Files" option, which greatly speeds up the compression in ME, but might be contributing to the issue.
Here are the machine specs:
Mac Pro 2.66 GHz 12-core
16GB RAM
NVidia Quadro 4000
ATTO Fibrechannel card
Blackmagic Design Decklink Extreme 2
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
Best,
Jon

Thank you for your response.
-I tried exporting an AVI and the file exported succesfully but with a warning "Adobe Media Encoder Could not write XMP data in output file." The file plays fine though and is over 5.5GB. So that's odd that my h.264 which is under 1GB won't fully export.
-Yes, the same thing happens when exporting directly from PrPro instead of using AME.
-In this project I am using NO Dynamic Links.
-I have not installed any codec libraries.
-I do not use 3rd party plug-ins.
-My destination drive has several terabytes.
Thanks,
Nate

Playback and render issues Premiere Pro CS6 on Mac

I have been having very "skippy" and sluggish issues when it comes to playback and editing. I have deleted all the old render files from my project and my hard drive, but nothing seems to work. Can someone please help me? I'm not sure if it is a space issue or what, but I haven't had much of these problems before. I know it's not a sequence settings issue, so I am very confused. My footage all comes from a Maxell P2 Eseries card and my computer specs are:
iMac
Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

Premiere Pro CS6 Generates HUGE file - Encoder settings help please

Using PPCS6 to create a 6 minute AVI file. The source video is an AVI screen capture from Camtasia for an application that is spread across 3 widescreen monitors, making the screen/video resolution 5760x1200 with a frame rate of 30. I need to output the same resolution/aspect ratio (Camtasia will not do this, hence my use of Premiere).
The initial screen capture is just under 2GB.
The AVI output from Media encoder is 45GB which is just too big to use.
Is there some settings I can use that will create a file of approximately the same size (under 3GB) and still look as sharp as the original capture?
My current encoder settings are:
Codec: Microsoft Video 1
Quality: 90
Width: 5760
Height: 1200
Frame Rate: 30
Field Order: Lower First
Aspect: Square Pixels (1.0)
Depth: 8-bit
Keyframe Interval: 8
Optimize Stills checked.

Camtasia files use their own TechSmith codec (TSCC) which is highly optimized for screen captures where hardly anything changes from frame to frame, and realistically you can't beat it with any of the default codecs, which are designed for full-motion video. With MV1 that file size is about what I'd expect from such a massive resolution. Also, do you really need 30fps? Most screencaps will look OK at 15 or even 12 at a push.
You should be able to encode back to AVI/TSCC if you have Camtasia on the same machine as Prem, if not you can download the codec pack for free from Techsmith's website.

Red video glitch at render and export in Premiere Pro CS6.

I keep on experiencing red screen glitches in my videos while viewing after render and when exported into any format. After replacing the clip with another, the same problem appears at the exact same time as before. The only way to get rid of the glitch is to build a completely new project. I have attached a picture of the glitch (the JPEG is green for some reason).
Any solutions?

Thank you for fast answer.
my version is 6.0.5. ( 001 (MC: 264587))
i use more kinds of cameras, but each provide different video file type.
this problem is with HC-V700 Panasonic, which is creating the AVCHD files.
i am talking about working video window, where you see the movie you cut and edit! (not the green/blue/red bar in timeline)
(after finishing the rendering, sometimes without it), and in case when i see it red, it is exported as well as RED screen .
and - on the other side : i can play such movie file, by double clicking on it, (from project files list, or from timeline ) where new window appears for playing that file.
thank you for your interest

Premiere pro cs6 should support file gxf grass valley? where we can download a codec for if any?

hi
we will need to make qc using cs6 on mac with aja t-tap
anyone know if there's codecs for gxf supported by premiere ?

Hi everyone, just to update:
I seem to have fixed the issue!
No idea what it was, but it would either have been:
a) rebooting my MacBook (unlikely!)
b) updating the Apple firmware
c) updating the Apple Retina Display update
d) ....all of the above!
It actually started working before going onto 10.8.3, so not related to OS X.
In which case, apologies for the lengthy post - hope it helps anyone in the same situation in the future. Moral of the story: update the Apple software!

Unable to open my Premiere Pro CS6 projects

Hi,
I am using Adobe Premiere PRO CS6 about two years. A few days ago i tried to open a project i createt half a year ago but was not able to. I got alway the error message Premiere Pro has encountered an error.
when i click to continue appears the message that the project could not be loaded beacuse its maybe dameged or contains old elements.
So what I tried,
-     Reinstall Adobe premiere Pro CS6 (deleted all files and settings before)
-      create an other User on the computer to be sure its not the user profile
-     installed Premiere on a virutal machine
-      open an other project from autosave
     always the same error
than I created a new project worked for about one hour on it. after saving closed the project => next day continued with the work on that file saved again, an since today that file is also not working any more same error as on the other fiel. The old file (saved after first day) is still working.
I hope you can help me with that issue, in about a month I will have to make a bigger project and if Im not sure that premiere is working correct i might loose a lot of time.
thanks for your help!!
