CS6 Mac Bloating to huge project size 5.88GB

I must say I am not enjoying the Mac version. I feel nowhere near as much effort has gone into fixing the issues from earlier versions. We have a TVC project that has been getting slower and slower every day we edit. Yesterday the project size was 120mb which is big in itself. Today that project size is nearly 6GB. It looks like the memory management is just not working. I have an 8-core Mac pro with 32GB RAM. CS6 has so far been frustrating and depressing on OSX.

I think I found an answer on another thread.
There's a known bug having to do with preview files & using Save As frequently - it'll double the number of preview file references incorrectly on each iteration. This will be fixed in the next update.
This is such a professional stuffup I can barely bring myself to write about it. How this got through QA mystifies me. And no I haven't used Warp Stabilizer on any CS6 project. At least I know I'm not the only one.

How to transfer and use the project files from Premiere Pro cs6 MAC OS to Premiere Pro CS6 Windows

Is there any plugin or tool that can help me to transfer my project files along data edited on adobe premiere cs6 MAC OS to the adobe premiere pro cs 6 on windows PC

When transferring a project from one computer to another,to stop errors such as these, its essential to ensure that the project is copied with all the files and folders in exactly the same locations. Also before opening the project on the new computer, you need to set up a new project and set all the preferences to be exactly the same as on the first computer. Then when you open the project, premiere will find all the files in all the right places. Even then you may need to re-link some files. Just follow the prompts when Premiere asks "Where is file...."
We use USB hard drives to store students projects on and they are used on many different computers without problems, as the preferences are all set to be the same.

Need to re work project saved in Adobe Premiere 5.1 (PC) on CS6 (MAC)

I need to re work project saved in Adobe Premiere 5.1 (PC) on CS6 (MAC). Thanks for any advice

You will probably need a PC version of Premiere Pro newer than CS3 in order to open the file, and then save it again as the newer version. From there you could possibly open that new version in CS6 on the Mac.

Sudden huge increase in project size

So I've got this problem with projects where when I go in and maybe tweak an automation parameter and save, the project size shoots thru the roof, and for instance after doing this a few times with one of my projects, it has gone from 33 MB to - I kid you not - 297 MB.
Scared to make any more changes to it now, it will be at 1GB in no time.
This is not including audio files or anything - just the project (song) file itself.
Anyone else encountering this?

Are you maybe recording your Automation in "write" mode? Try latch/touch mode instead where only the automation is written which you are actually using on your tracks. Check your Automation event lists for redundant automation data.

Too Big Project Size?

How big is too big for projects? What are your average project sizes?
Having very sticky and sluggish movement in current project and noticed it was over 40MB. Didn't seem so huge at first but then I noticed most other projects I have are under and around 10. Is the project just too big? Nothing extraordinary or strange about the project. The sluggishness is primarily when scrubbing through primary cut/sequence. Only a 2 min sequence. If Premiere can't handle two minute sequence how are they cutting features with it?
Anyone else have this problem or notice anything like this with larger projects?

I was referring the preview file format. Currently, we're editing with ProRes LT Quicktimes and setting the preview file format to reflect that (attached). However, the MPEG I-Frame seems to be the default in Premiere. Is that more stable?
However, is there a better format/codec for Premiere? We always cut in ProRes on FCP 7, but I'm not opposed to something different (we run on Mac).
Also, I removed all warp stabilizers from my project and it significantly decreased project size. Unfortunately, the project is still sluggish. Feeling there is some type of corruption.
Thanks Mark!

What's a good wysiwyg menu widget for Dreamweaver CS6 Mac?

I'm trying to build menus in Dreamweaver CS6 Mac, and started using Spry...then learned that Adobe will no loner be supporting Spry and that it may not be as compatible with browsers in the future.
What's a good alternative wysiwyg menu widget for Dreamweaver that's makes it easy to create horizontal/vertical pop-down menus/sub menus? I'd be willing to pay for it if it's worth it. Would be nice if it worked within Dreamweaver using Design/Spit modes the way Spry does, but not essential. Thanks!

Project Seven are widely regarded for their commercial DW menu extensions.
PMM3 is one of the best I've seen

I have no affiliation with Project Seven other than as a happy customer.
There are other menu systems out there too but I've never used them.

Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. How do I get and install the right version of Camera Raw?

Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. I was told to update Camera Raw to at least 7.2. I tried to download this but got a DNG Converter instead. Where is Camera Raw? (it does not show up in a search of my hard drive. There is a folder of camera profiles but no extension or plug-in with this name). How do I find out what version I have already? How do I get the correct version? . . . OR . . . is it the case that Bridge will never open Sony raw files directly and I will have to do a separate conversion process every time I want to use a raw file??. Can someone explain this?
Thanks.

Bridge CS6 (Mac) Forgetting Labels

I am having a long standing problem with Bridge "forgetting" labels I apply to folders and files. I have trashed preference files, reset the preferences and even re-installed from scratch. The problem persists. The strange part is that it only affects one particular file heirarchy; the others that I manage with Bridge seem to be fine.
Any ideas?

Thanks! If there is a workaround or simple solution, I would be very glad if you could inform me.

Bridge CS6 Mac XMP File Info Panel Bug: can't copy and paste metadata

The cmd-keys / shortcuts doesn't work in the xmp file info panel btw. in the xmp / iptc fields (e.g. cmd+c, cmd+v, ...) of Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac OS 10.6.8 and 10.7.3). You are not able to cut and paste info from one box to another like previous versions.
This bug only appears in the xmp file info window (opened via alt+i) in Bridge CS6 - if you edit information or metadata in the file info panel in Photoshop CS6 copy and paste from one field to another works.
The shortcuts also work under Windows (tested under Vista).
I noticed this minor bug already one in the Photoshop CS6 Beta more than one months ago. I hoped that this was corrected in the official test version, but unfortunately it is not. Although it is a minor bug, it is IMHO a basic function and would be very helpful in my daily work - it is too bad, that such a small thing is making working with the application a little bit annoying.

Thanks! If there is a workaround or simple solution, I would be very glad if you could inform me.

Hi, I am using Indesign CS6, How to set the page size in Inches.

Hi, I am using Indesign CS6, How to set the page size in Inches.

All fields in InDesign can be entered in any measurement system. So, if you want to make an 8"x10" document and go to File>New Document and the window looks like this:
…you can type either 8 in or 8" into the Width field like this:
…and when you move to the next field, it will convert the eight inches into the equivalent number in the unit of measure that it is using at the moment, like this:
… (203.2 milimeters is the same as 8 inches). You can also enter a different measurement unit into other fields once the file is created, such as the width or height of a frame, or the position of an object in the X and Y coordinates.
If you would rather just work in inches instead of having to type the inches mark or abbreviation, go to InDesign>Preferences>General and select the Units & Increments tab. There you will see Ruler Units for Horizontal and Vertical at the top of the window. Set them to Inches and all of the fields will display in inches. If you do that to an open document, you will change the unit of measure for that document. If you do it while no documents are open, it will change the unit of measure for any new documents you create. To change the unit of measure for existing documents, you will have to open each and make the change.

Huge file size after importing

I have a shell (6 slides) used to jump out to windows media
files. I imported only two slides from another project with text
objects only and now the file size jumped from 977k to over 10 Meg.
How on earth is this possible? basically powerpoint slides. NO
video. NO audio.
Plus, when I look at the project size in storyboard view
within Cap, it says the project is 1,234k. But when I look at it in
windows explorer it definitley says 10,333k. Why are the file sizes
inconsistent?
Thoughts, suggestions and good guesses are appreciated!
Thanks!
Jim

Jim,
I've never paid much attention over the years to the
Storyboard view Information panel, so I'm not entirely sure what
that "Size" value is referring to. I just opened one of my existing
projects and see "684.0KB," which is alot closer to the published
SWF size (569KB) than the project's source file (4,172KB).
When you say you see "10,333K" in Explorer, I assume you're
talking about the project source file. Since you said that you
don't have audio or video, then you must have only a short sequence
of slides containing background images imported from PowerPoint.
The dimensions of the PowerPoint presentation (the resolution of
the images) and their color depth will impact the size of the
images when imported into Captivate.
Could it be that the PowerPoint project contained some rather
large images to begin with?
That said, do you know already that Captivate 2 has a very
significant bug that causes the CP file size to grow dramatically
as you import/edit/re-edit your project? You didn't mention how
extensively you may have already edited your project, so I thought
I'd bring that up.
Another thing to consider would be whether your project's
library has lots of unused objects in it -- maybe images that came
in with the PowerPoint project but that you're not really using in
your slides. Cleaning out the library and saving the project will
net you a little savings.

Huge file size reduced by unlocking

I ended up with a 2.7GB file that consisted of 8 locked tracks that had been locked and unlocked lots of times. I knew that was about ten times the real size. The only way to get rid of whatever was causing the huge file size was to unlock the tracks and Save As Archive which reduced the size to 400MB.
Why did this happen?
Also, is there a detailed manual available that tells you all the tricks about GB? Things like: exactly what does locking a track do (Help is not very informative); and how do Save, Save As and Save As Archive differ in their treatment of purple, orange and other regions. I have had problems saving everything when I backup to an external drive, so I'd like to find out exactly how these Saves work.

Christoph,
Yes I just did that. I saved a copy of the song and then trashed the freeze files that should not have been there. The song played fine, no problem. THe file went from 1.6G to 176M.
I have found this situation in a few other files also.
These are my saving habits when I'm working on a song. I work for a while using "Save". Then after a while I start to save many major changes as "Save as Archive". I always end a session this way. Usually I'm not concerned about disc space. I use "Save as archive" all the time because I would rather have a file with everything I'm using contained within that file. Last year I accidently trashed 10,000 loops and I have since found that "save as archive" is a helpful backup when I'm acting stupid around the trash.
I may be one of the few folks who uses "Save as archive " so often and somehow it seems that every once in a while a hiccup occurs and the freeze files do not erase when the tracks are unlocked.
Since this discovery I have gone thru many other files and found this to be the case every now and then. Some of the files didnt hint at being over stuffed but had a few errant freeze files. Normally I would never go and check a files contents but that one file at 1.6G grabbed my attention
Just thought I would post to see if anyone has this problem.

How to make a huge file size fit

I have a project which is (sounds silly) about 7 hours. the file sizes arn't that big about 300 meg each but the 0verall project size is 20 gig can I possibly somehow encode this size of project to fit on a 4.7 dvd or should I make one long film in FCP and export that as a QT or something like that......

You have a couple of options.
First, consider creating a DVD9 and using AC3 audio - your bitrate would have to be about 2.3Mbps... which is very low, and the visual quality may not be too great.
Second, instead of using full D1 sizes, use Half D1, which reduces the horizontal resolution and therefore the file size. The visual quality is (IMO) better than VHS and you could encode at slightly over 4Mbps, which is getting acceptable.
Third, consider making a two disc set. This is not such a bad option as you get to use full D1 encodes at higher resolutions, but of course need to make two DVDSP projects for the content.
If you went for a double sided and dual layer disc you could achieve the same thing.
Finally, consider using MPEG1. This has a max data rate of about 1.5Mbps, and so you should easily fit 7 hours on a DVD9... and probably on a DVD5, too (at about 1.4Mbps).
In all cases, reduce the audio to AC3, no matter what.
A final option is to be more aggressive with the editing decisions! Cut back on the total amount of footage and get it all on a DVD9 at higher bitrates.
As a guide, four hours of D1 would need to be encoded at 4.5Mbps to fit on a DVD9, using AC3 audio at 192kbps (a stereo sound track).

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 (mac) will not completely launch.

After a few weeks idol my Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 (mac) will not completely launch. It tells me a serious error has occurred, it shuts down and the circle continues. I've even reloaded the app and it happens again. I did upgraded to Yosemite but I can't find anyone else having probs with Yosemite. Any ideas. No luck on the adobe site.

>did upgraded to Yosemite
CS6 is about 3 years old... even the latest Cloud versions had to have updates to be compatible... since you have "reloaded" (was that a full uninstall and reinstall?) I have no other suggestions
