File size in project library

I have imported a couple of videos into iMovie and they are about 200mb each.
When I drag one into the project window to edit, I notice that the film is now only 1mb in size. How do I maintain my 200mb quality?

So how does one export the edited movie with the same picture quality of the original ? It does not seem possible as I still end up with a 1mb file.

  • How do I reduce file size of iPhoto library that's had photos deleted?

    I created a calendar in my iPhoto library (which contains thousands of photos). I want to save the calendar now as a separate library with just the calendar in it. I duplicated my iPhoto library and deleted everything except for the dozen or so images used in the calendar. However my iPhoto library is still over 10GB! I've checked the trash is empty and I've rebuilt the database. Is there anything I can do to reduce the file size of the library?
    Thanks

    Empty the system trash. If that doesn't help:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Is there an iPod Photo Cache? You can delete that too...

    Did you do the moving of the image file in the Finder or do you have a reference library as asked by Larry? In either case moving the files is a recipe for disaster as you've found out. You must either move the files back to their original locations or try to get those photos back into iPhoto as follows:
    1 - Find the folder you moved the files into and COPY it to the Desktop.
    2 - in iPhoto delete the photos that you're having the problems with as you normally would even though you can't see see them. Also delete all the photos that are in the folder you moved the other files into.
    3 - drag the folder on the Desktop into iPhoto to import them as one event. If you get a duplicate warning I'd let it import the duplicate and use Duplicate Annihilator to find them so you can cull out the duplicate you don't want.
    Other than that you might have to start over from scratch as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    1 - Move the existing library folder to the desktop
    2 - Open the library package like this.
    3 - Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    4 - Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.

  • Time Machine file size vs actual file size of Aperture library

    My Aperture database is 74.5GB.   I have a referenced library.   My photos are backup up on their own using Time Machine.   I also use Time Machine to backup my Aperture database.   However, I noticed yesterday that the Aperture filesize on my time machine backup is only 28.3GB.   I need to upgrade my hard drive and had planned to just restore form time machine backup, but I am worried about losing Aperture data.   Does anyone know why there is a discrepency?

    MacDLS,
    I recently did a little house-cleaning on my startup drive (only 60Gb) and now have about 20Gb free, so I don't think that is the problem.
    It's probably not a very fast drive in the first place...
    I know that 5MB isn't very big, but for some reason it takes a lot longer to open these scanned files in photoshop (from aperture) than the 5MB files from my camera. Any idea why this is?
    Have a look at the file size of one of those externally edited files for a clue - it won't be 5MB. When Aperture sends a file out for editing, it creates either a PSD or an uncompressed TIFF after applying any image adjustments that you've applied in Aperture, and sends that out. Depending on the settings in Aperture's preferences this will be in either 8-bit or 16-bit.
    As a 16-bit uncompressed TIFF, a 44 megapixel image weighs in at a touch over 150MB...

  • Vault (external) file size Versus Aperture Library (internal) file size discrepancy?

    Using Aperture 3.3.1 (all my images are Referenced). I created my first vault on an external hard drive. The Vault.apvault file size is 32.8 GB. My Aperture Library.aplibrary file size on my iMac hard drive is 81.6 GB. So I am wondering if I have a full back-up in Vault or not. Seems like a large discrepency in file size. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

    Do any Images that you don't expect show up when you filter "Photos" using the Rule "File Status" with the argument "Managed"?
    If not, then close Aperture and repair your database.  Instructions are on the Apple Aperture trouble-shooting page.
    Does that make any difference?

  • Optimizing file size for project (Splitting)

    Hi,
    I have recently taught myself Captivate 4 and have nearly pieced together all the requirements of a training video. There is no user interactions or quizzes. I am still not sure what is the best method to present the video. I want to publish to our intranet using Flash.
    I captured a video using the inbuilt Automatic Recording Mode (so most of the slides are stills with a couple of  FMR sldes) This produced a project with 140 slides. I understand after reading topics about file size reduction, you should try and keep projects around 60 slides. Therefore my question is do I cut this project up into three smaller projects (VideoPt1.cp VideoPt2.cp etc) then in the first project set the last slide to open Videopt2.cp and then repeat this for each project. Then publish the first project to flash. (Which is a very tedious task and I am sure there must be a better way to do this)
    When I do this and review the output when it gets to the end of the first section, it errors and says cannot find next file.
    I checked the adobe help file but does not seem to offer much explanation on the topic. Just two flavours (open file/URL or Project)
    Are there better ways of doing this, the Aggregator seems to offer a sort of solution but I dont want a user seeing multiple chapters for what is in effect one chapter.
    Cheers exup

    Hi there
    Please submit a Wish Form to ask for some future version of Captivate to offer such a feature! (Link is in my sig)

  • HT4114 Reduce file size when projecting onto large screen?

    Hi,
    Does "Reduce File Size" reduce the quality of an image or video that is being projected from my iPad 3 onto a 10ft screen via VGA adaptor?  I'm teaching a film class, and multiple film clips and stills seem to cause Keynote to grind to a near halt.   We can't really get the room adequately dark, so I really don't want to reduce image quality any further.
    Thanks in advance for any help suggestions!

    Gretchen ~ I don't know the answer, but can say that I know of only one process that reduces file size without reducing image quality. Perhaps others will chip in here with more suggestions...
    The free "JPEGmini" reduces the file size of JPEG images without reducing their dimensions or perceivable quality. The Web version allows you to upload and downsize one image at a time. The Mac App version avoids uploading and allows you to downsize up to 20 images per day for free.

  • How can get the library items total file size

    Hi All,
    I want to get the total file size of the library and count how many file in library.
    would I use getItemsRequest can get them?
    or have another ways to do that?
    Thank You
    Jimmy

    Sorry, I don't have any ideas.
    Just so you know, the document management support is the lowest priority.
    There are not any active enhancements planned for document management.
    We added some support in 12.0.x for WebAccess, but there is none planned
    further.

  • Moving file from event library to project library

    Here's my situation. I have a slideshow as a .wmv file (I used Flip4Mac to view in QuickTime); used QuickTime Pro to save it as a .mov file. I imported it into iMovie so I can ultimately save it on my iPad. But for the life of me, I cannot seem to get this file into the Project Library to export it. Can anyone help? Am I missing a step? (That's an obvious question, I must be missing something, since I cannot export.)
    Thanks for any assistance.
    ~Marian

    You may have done this already, but you need to use QuickTime Pro to convert the wmv file to an iMovie capable format, like h.264 or Apple Intermediate Codec. I say this because an MOV file can also contain uneditable codecs.
    Having done that, you import the mov file into an iMovie Event.
    Next you must create a new project and give the project a name.
    Then you can select a clip or a portion of a clip or multiple clips from the event and drag it to the Project window. Then you can edit as desired and when you are done, use the Share menu.

    You might look at the bottom toolbar of iTunes, there's a number of items, total time and the file size of the library there; you could also find your iTunes Music folder (most likely in your main music folder) and ctrl click/right click on that folder and "Get Info."

  • Osx lion get info reporting incorrect file size

    Hi all,
    I am trying to troubleshoot a strange problem I am having with Adobe Revel. Adobe have been helping me to resolve it but my mac is displaying some odd behaviour which I need to explain and which may be affecting the adobe app.
    The adobe app creates a library file of pictures and the file should be growing as I download more pictures. If I right click on the folder and "Get info" the folder size shown is smaller than I would expect at 25MB given that it should contain a good number of Jpeg files.
    I have downloaded an app called "Grand Perspective" to help me manage disk space and for this particular file it reports a completely different (much Larger) file size than "Get Info" did (155 MB) which is much closer to what I would expect to find and it is growing as more pictures are downloaded.
    Any idea what could cause "Get Info" to report the wrong file size.
    I have another osx Lion mac with the same software loaded and although a completely different machine, it reports the same file size for this library folder as grand perspective does.
    Any help gratefully accepted.
    Slarti

    I'm finding the same behaviour running Lion 10.7.2 and the file with the exact same problem as yours is a Sente (bibliography software) library containing references and pdfs.  'Get Info' reports it as 130KB but I know the file is much much larger than that! Even the Size reported on Get Info shows 874.4MB which is still too small.  If I 'Show Package Contents' on the file and 'Get Info' on the 'Contents' folder which it then shows, I get the correct size of 1.14GB
    Apple Tech Support over the phone wasn't able to explain this behaviour.

  • How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

    How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

    iDVD does not care about file sizes, as it compresses the file to the standard DVD format of mpeg2.
    It only cares about length i.e. max 2 hours including titles etc.
    iDVD encoding settings:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
    Short version:
    Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
    Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
    Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
    Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
    In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
    You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
    Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
    NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
    And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

  • How can I reduce the file size of my .cp project file?

    I am working in CP3 and creating training programs via computer simulations.  Generally I try to eliminate any unnecessary animation in my slide (use of scroll bars, drop down menus etc.) because these seemed to increase my file size.  I do have audio narration on almost every slide and I know that this helps to bump up my size.
    Here's what I found to be so odd.
    I have to create a new training module and I simply opened one of my .CP projects and did a SAVE AS with a new file name.  I reduced the number of slides from 25 to 3.  The three slides I kept are the title slide, closing slide and one slide that I'll call a content slide that has the color for my highlight boxes and text formatting.  (I keep the content slide so I can simply copy and paste the boxes as I need them.)  I removed all the audio.  Finally I saved the new project.  Imagine my surprise when the new file is 96,333 KB with only 3 slides, no audio and no animation.  This is almost the same size as the original file.  I published my 3-slide project, thinking it might change the size, but that was wishful thinking.
    I telelcommute from my home and I am required to check these files out of a secured document library each time I need to update them.  The upload time is KILLING ME!
    What am I doing wrong?  The Information section shows the file size as 783.9KB which seems more in line with what I would expect.
    Any help, as always is appreciated.

    Hi BIMB,
    Here's my guess, others can correct if I'm way off.
    What you see as the file size under the Cp4 Storyboard View Information is what the published file size would be sans any unused pics, audio, or swfs. So it should be relatively small given you only have 3 slides in your project.
    What you see as the 'save as' version reflects all of the pics, audio, and/or .swfs you still have in your project's library.
    Now if you've actually removed the audio files and pics from the Cp Library, then I'm not sure.
    Curious to know if this helps,
    Keith

  • How do I find a file size for a project in its entirety ???, How do I find a file size for a project in its entirety ???

    How do I find a file size for a aperture project in its entirety ????

    You can't. The Aperture library is a combination of database and flat files, a project can be split among multiple files in combination with other projects. The size of any of those files (or a sum of the files) would have no meaning concerning the size of a project.
    BTW typing in a large bold font like you did is seen by many in then on-line community as a sign of shouting and is considered bad form. I'm sure you didn't mean to shout at us here as we are all just users here freely giving of our time to try and help folk like yourself so please in the future use the standard font.

  • Project file size bloats (Captivate 3)

    Does anyone know what causes a project file to become disproportionately bloated? I was working on a file that was approx 200 MB, then imported some objects onto one slide from another project, and suddenly it jumped to over 300 MB (I even deleted all items in the library that weren't being used elsewhere).
    I've noticed this phenomenon on more than one occassion. It seems to occur most frequently when importing objects or slides from one project to another.

    Hi there
    The only way that I've ever seen a file size reduction in Captivate 3 was by performing the following steps:
    Open a second instance of Captivate.
    Create a new blank project sized identically to the other instance.
    Switching between instances, copy slides from the bloated one and paste into the fresh one.
    Save the new one and the file size is reduced.
    Discard the old one.
    Note that you will likely need to re-establish any links you had.
    Just a special note here about one of the things you tried. You said you exported to XML. I don't believe you are able to export to XML, then import from XML back into a new project. I believe the XML export works in a very similar manner to the Microsoft Word export. Only the project that exported it will be able to successfully re-import it. As I understand it, the XML export is especially designed for Captivate developers that need to localize (translate) their projects.
