Action to export with maximum file size

I'm looking to export a whole load of images that must not exceed 20Mb. I'm sure this is possible to set up, but how?
Thanks in advance

Photoshop simply doesn't give you a "target size or smaller" capability directly, so folks are trying to be creative in helping you. A simple "Thanks, but I really need these big files" would do.
Keep in mind there are a lot of folks using Photoshop who don't know the difference between "JPEG file size on disk" and "photographic file size". If you want folks to understand that you DO know better, consider writing more than a single sentence in your original post. Expecting people to assume you're an expert right after posting a basic question seems a bit of a stretch.
You're saying that, with an RGB 8 bits/channel image, do File - Save As, choose JPEG, then look at the estimated file size in the JPEG save dialog and adjust the quality level - because it's manual - isn't good for you. You need automation. Fair enough.
Chances are you could do something with Photoshop's Scripting facility. I imagine it might have to be iterative (e.g., pick a quality level, save, check file size, adjust quality level, repeat...). The forum for that is down the hall. There are some very talented people there who give freely of their time. Please try not to insult them.

Exporting with specific file size possible ?

Hi,
say I have master files in the region of 50 - 350Mb and need to upload the versions at best possible JPEG quality with a file size restriction of say 8Mb.
How would you do this straight out of Aperture ?
AppleScript ?
Thanks for any pointers,
chris

Thanks Ian,
I thought so.
If anybody could point me to a nice AppleScript/Automator workflow that could help me with full size exports on Finder level, please let me know.
Thanks a lot in advance,
chris

With Latest Update, Premiere CC Crashing at 100% Export, with Increased File Sizes

I'm a bit baffled, and hoping someone can help. With the latest update of Premiere CC, I am having trouble exporting to Vimeo. As a filmmaker and educator in Chicago, I do a lot of exporting to Vimeo, up until now with great success. Over the past few days, not only is Premiere crashing at 100% export, but it seems to be exporting larger files than before (and with fewer Vimeo options, I notice, in Media Encoder). Not only did this happen with a 30-minute class exercise straight out of a Canon camcorder, that inexplicably was being exported at around 3 or 4Gs, but more importantly: I am trying to replace the video file on Vimeo of a feature film of mine, and the EXACT same feature film, at the exact same length (82 minutes), with the exact same export stats, that was 3 GB in all it's past successful exports, is now exporting, inexplicably, as a 9 GB file - it's Vimeo HD 1080 - always is. Nothing has changed at all on my end.
This is a problem, as I have several items to export to Vimeo in the coming days. What's going on?
Thanks,
Stephen

One other specific change I've noticed in the export settings is that export is now defaulting to H.264 Match Settings - High Bitrate, whereas before it defaulted to whatever settings I had previously used.

Maximum file size for export into MP4?

Hello,
I am not able to export 2 hour HD video into standard MP4 file. It seems that reaching 100% export algorithm gets into loop. I was waiting for hours and still had seen progress at exactly 100% with final file size on hard disk to be 0 bytes. I am using CS5 on MAC OS X. I had to split my timeline to 2 parts and to export them separately (which is embarrasing). Is there something like maximum file size for export? I guess that 2h video would have about 25-35GB.
Thank you
jiri

You are right.
So I am running AP Pro 5.0.4, Adobe Media Encoder 5.0.1.0 (64bit). Operating system Mac OS X ver 10.7.3. All applications are up to date.
MacBook Pro Intel i5 2.53GB, 8GB RAM, nVidia GT 330M 256 MB, 500GB HDD
Video is 1920x1080 (AVCHD) 25fps in a .MTS container (major part of timeline), 1280x720 30fps in .MOV container (2mins), Still images 4000x3000 in .JPG
No error message is generated during export - everything finishes without any problem...just file created has 0 byte size (as described above).
This is my largest video project (1h 54min) I dont have any other problem with other projects.
I dont run any other special software, at the moment of export all usual applications are closed so that MacBook "power" can go to Media Encoder. No codecs installed, using VLC Player or Quick Time.
Attached please find printscreen from Export settings (AP Pro). Writing this ppost I tried to export only the first 4mins from timeline where all kind of media is used...and it was OK.
As a next step I will try to export (same settings) 1h 30mins as I still believe problem comes with length of video exported.
Let me know your opinion

Maximum File Size for a Captivate file before the graphics begin to get replaced with rectangles

I have Captivate 6
I published a 39 slide file with audio to an .exe.
It was 130 mb.
The first part of the course was fine, but when I got to slide 20, the graphics were replaced with a bright red rectangle.
What is the maximum file size before this happens?
(I ended up converting each audio file to mp3. That reduced the file size to 88 MB)

That red rectangle is usually due to the slide needing to be set to High Quality 24bit. I don't believe it has anything to do with the filesize.

Maximum file size of 2 GB exceeded please choose a shorter bounce time

I have done a thorough search online (w/google) trying several combinations of words but I seem to be the only person on the planet with this error. I guess I will try to remake the project but I don't think it will fix the problem. I also will update my OS to 10.4.10, anyways here is the the error message.
"Maximum file size of 2 GB exceeded please choose a shorter bounce time"
I just bought and installed iLife 08 and the 8.1 update for Garageband. I have a 3 hr and 50 track on the time line and I have added chapter marks with 16k pics. The original combined track size (wav files) did exceed 2GB but I edited the files in itunes (to mono wav files) and swapped in the new files so that the max file size should only be 1.5GB. I still get the error message above when I try to export the podcast to disk using AAC w/Mono Podcast setting. Your help is appreciated.

I am now the third person in the world to get this error message, except my GB project is a mere 1 hour and 45 minutes long. I've outputted longer projects before and never got this error before. It's a new one to me, and frustrating. How exactly am I supposed to choose a "shorter bounce time" if there is no explanation anywhere in Appleworld of what a bounce time is or how to set it shorter?
Again, I'm not doing anything different with this project than others that shared successfully, and the dialog box estimates my outputted file size to be approx. 100 MB.
Can anybody help me get through this error blockage? Please?

By default AIX limits maximum file size to 1GB

When writing files larger than 1GB in AIX, I receive a "File too large" error.
This file size limit presents a problem, especially when creating large files,
such as LDIF exports from a Directory Server istance or message store dumps
from a Messaging Server instance.

By default, AIX limits the maximum size of files to 1GB. However, root can
adjust the maximum file size for itself with the following command: 

$ulimit -f arbitrary_large_number
 

The -f modifier
specifies the maximum file size. For example, 

$ulimit -f 4194304

This values for the maximum size of files is set in the
/etc/security/limits
file. The default values in this file are as follows: 

fsize = 2097151 
core = 2097151 
cpu = -1 
data = 262144 
rss = 65536 
stack = 65536 
nofiles = 2000 

To view your local default values, use the following command: 

$ulimit -a

Any user can adjust the maximum file size limit downward. For example, 

$ulimit -f 
2097151 
$ulimit -f 100 
$ulimit -f 
100 
$cp /unix /tmp/MyBigFile #(copy a big file to another location with enough space) 
File too large 
$ls -al /tmp/MyBigFile 
-rwxr--r-- 1 UserID GroupID 51200 Jul 25 08:41 MyBigFile
$

However, only root can adjust the ulimit
file size limits upward. Such changes
will take effect only after the user logs in again.

Additionally, it is possible to set specific user limits with the
chuser command. For
information on chuser,
click the following URL: 

http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/doc_link/en_US/a_doc_lib/cmds/aixcmds1/chuser.htm#A067913d9

For more information on the ulimit
command, check the following URL: 

http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/doc_link/en_US/a_doc_lib/cmds/aixcmds5/ulimit.htm
Note: 
The shell in use may affect the actual limits imposed by ulimit
. In particular,
/usr/csh may not
properly adjust the limit from the default value. Also,
bash (Bourne Again shell)
may treat file sizes in blocks as though they were file sizes in kilobytes(KB).

The size you can handle is not limited... only by your code :-)
Check MemoryMappedFiles... i handle Gigabyte files with no problem ;-)

Volume exceeds maximum file size

Hi,
I am trying to compress a FC7 file using Compressor. I want to compress as a ProRes and as .264 file. I have an error each time: it says: "volume exceeds maximum file size". I don't understand where it come from. I have got space on my disk. I don't have any other applications opened.
I have a MacBook Pro with dual core 2,6GH RAM.
Thanks for your help

I have the same problem, except I'm exporting a single recording about 2 hrs 40 mins anywhere between 192-320 is fine (All I've done is trim another mp3 file down - imported originally at 3hrs 30 mins 470mb 320 kbps), it shouldn't exceed 2GB it should be way under that. Even if i try to export at 64kbps it doesnt let me.
I used to do this all the time in Garageband, I don't understand the problem. I've looked at my prefernces and menu options and I can't see a way to tackle it.
Can someone please advise?
Cheers

What is the best seeting to export as smaller file size AVI from FCP?

Hi, I know the topic sounds very similar to many of AVI post it had been up, however, somehow, I do not find the right answer that I'm looking for.
I have a couple animation created from QT as "image sequence".
I simply want to export as avi file.
Here is the question I have.
1. If I choose DV/DVCPRO-NTSC, and choose scan mode as Progressive, I get interlacing looking quality video.
2. If I choose compressor type as "NONE" then even I set as "least" quality, the file size will be over 1G..although, that's the quality I'm trying to archive.
Is there any other setting I can choose to get good quality with lower file size avi? I have seen or download avi file on the net with very good quality and still download-able file size...

What is the QT method? (Export from QT Player?)
Yes, 10 hour plus is ridiculous. I'm guessing that there was either something wrong with your Internet connection and/or at the You Tube end of the uploasd/compression process.
Innocentius and Hugh are right; using Compressor (or MPEG Streamclip) and using YT's uploader is the most reliable workflow.(Since Google changed the account verification process, there have been reports of upload problems using Share>You Tube.) In addition, you have more control over the quality of your movie. You can create multiple custom settings in Compressor and then Share > Compressor custom settings. It will go faster if you export out of FCP as a Pro Res 422 file; should take 3-4 minutes top. The Web encode for a 3 minute video in Compressor might take 15 minutes, depending on your system. MPEG Streamclip is probably a little faster.

Maximum file-size for HR EIC emails

Hi folks
We currently use EIC in ERP, and have an issue with sending large emails/attachments as the maximum file-size appears to be only 2MB. This is set in the IMG activity Employee Interaction Center (EIC) -> Interaction Center Web-Client -> Communication Channels ->E-Mail -> Define E-Mail Profiles, the attachment maximum size is set to a maximum of 2,147,483 bytes.
I have tried searching for anyone else having a similar problem, but haven't found anything. I would imagine many customers would have EIC users in a Shared Services environment sending attachments over 2 meg; so before we log a call with SAP, has anyone else had this issue and how did you resolve it?
Thanks very much.
James

The maximum value is 2,147,483 bytes, which is what the config is set to. This seems pretty low, especially in this day and age.

Maximum file size exceeded?

Recently I've bought curve 9300 - so far it looks to be the best phoned I had so far.
But yesterday I finally decided to install desktop software and check some other functions of the phone. And that's when I found a problem. I haven't installed ny media card, but there's some free space showing on the built memory. I've wanted to upload a couple of multimedia files ( .mp3 - using "file" button, I'm not using Itunes, Windows media etc) . I got an info that maximum allowed file size has been exceeded (I'm not sure it's excat phrase as I had to translate it from Polish). What's wrong? I'm pretty darn sure that file I wanted to upload is smaller than free space (mp3 of around 5MB).

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Here is a KB that discusses that error:
KB26221 "File exceeds the maximum file size of the destination or is too large for the system" appears when saving attachment files on the BlackBerry smartphone
Hopefully it contains something useful! While it is written for the 9700, I suspect it applies to your BB as well.
Good luck and let us know!

Maximum File Size on Import?

Hello all, been a ghost reader here but this is my first question (love the forums, btw, super helpful).
I've been editing a feature film on Premiere Pro. We are nearing the end and I received a DPX sequence back from coloring. Upon importing into Premiere (Intermediate Media Timebase set to the appropriate framerate), the importer hangs up. If I click on anything, the program crashes.
Here are my questions:
Is a 2TB DPX sequence a "normal" size for any project? This seems insanely large to me, but this is also my first feature so I could just be ignorant.
If 2TB is normal, is there a maximum file size Premiere can import?If not, should my system be able to handle a 2TB file?
The 2TB file is on an external drive, connected via USB3. Potential to connect via eSATA.
System Specs:
3770k CPU
SSD for OS (256GB)
External Raid 10 - 6TB
32gb RAM
GTX 580 GPU
All help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the reply, Jim.
Just to clarify, a file this size (or sequence of files) is common? But generally the only way to handle them is with a RAID 3 setup?
My next question would be, isn't there a lossless format the color people could give me that isn't 2TB? The file I gave them was just over 800GB so it seems really unnecessary for it to be this large.

Maximum file size that can be ulpoaded at one time

Hi All,
I have an issue in which user is uploading 200 MB file in to KM. But she is getting "IisProxy.dll: 502 Bad Gateway" error.
I have tried uploading a document and was successfull in uploading 93 MB document and while uploading above this (93MB) i was getting Page cannot be found error.
I have found in refrences of same as in SAP note 820028 and on
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/25/b0a4f6f2b03a43a727a165a4d6a555/frameset.htm
Please advice me what shoud be the maximum file size that can be uploaded at one time.
Thanks in advance.
Honey

Hi,
By default the maximum file size is 128 MB. You can configure that in visual administrator.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/05/35e13d8ee48f5ee10000000a114084/frameset.htm
If you as administrator need to upload a file with larger size, you can use km file repository like etc. and can upload file from OS.

Maximum file size of 2,0 Gb exceeded

Searched all over the place and found one thread with no solutions, so I´ll try again..
I have a project with two mono recordings, each aiff and 530 mb big. Thats 2 hours and 24 minutes. When I try to bounce this in logic 8 (to mp3), I get the message "maximum file size of 2,0 Gb exceeded - please choose a shorter bounce time". ??? If anyone knows how to get around this, pleeaase let me know.
I imported the aiff files to garageband, and garageband had no trouble bouncing it to mp3, so if garageband is able to bounce it, surely logic should be!? The reason I need to bounce it from logic is because of the editing features there, so doesn´t really help that garageband is able to bounce it....also tried importing the mp3 to logic and then bounce, but same problem occured. I´ve also tried turning down the quality to lowest, but doesn´t help. Please help!

Just some thoughts on this...
If the OP is saving to a Mac formatted drive it's not a problem with creating a file on the drive. Might try saving to different location.
It's possible this may is an internal error from Logic and. It probably has little to do with the actual file size as much as it does with the overall length of time of the bounce.
In other words... if Logic sees a certain length of time for a bounce, no matter the file type, it thinks the bounced file will exceed the 2GB file limit, which is leftover programming from earlier version of Mac & PC Logic when both operating systems imposed a 2GB file size restriction.

Maximum file size for importing into Premiere Pro CS6

Hi,
I'm considering recording raw video, no compression at 720p, 30 fps for 20-30 min. This woudl result in a file that is close to 80 Gbytes. I'm wondering what the maximum file size for importing into premiere Pro is and if I need to split this file up into smaller pieces. Any recommendations on how I may deal with uncompressed raw video that is pretty long in length?
Thanks,
Serena

There is bound to be some limit somewhere in the program, but you should be well below that. The biggest issue might be whether your computer is up to the task of handling it. If you will post your computer specs., someone will give you comments on that aspect.
Good luck,
