Huge File Size Difference

I cut a 110MB .mov file that was 7 minutes long down to 4 minutes but when I went to export the finisihed 4 minute movie as a .mov file it was over 1GB. Any ideas how I keep it the same size, if not smaller? I'm new to Final Cut by the way.
Thanks

Select one of the your clips in the browser, that's the window on the upper left normally. Go to Edit>Item Properties. What exactly does it say? Then select the sequence in the browser, that has the icon with the yellow bars on it, and do the same. What exactly does it say about that? Oh and why are you exporting? Where are you trying to get to with this edited program?

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.

Maintain Server parameters to allow huge file size to pass through XI

Hello SAP Gurus,
i would like to know how can i check this Server parameters in SAP PI Configuration :
u2022 UME Parameters : To look into the pool size and poolmax wait parameters - UME recommended parameters (like: poolmaxsize=50, poolmaxwait=60000)
u2022 Tuning Parameters: To look/define the Message Size Limit u201Clike: EO_MSG_SIZE_LIMIT = 0000100u201D under tuning category
u2022 ICM Parameters: To consider ICM parameters (ex: icm/conn_timeout = 900000. icm/HTTP/max_request_size_KB = 2097152)
This is required for allowing huge file size to pass through XI.

Hi Michael,
I did the settings you just mentioned in the link.
I got through the First step where the file got processed and 50000 record data got divided into on 50000 idocs.
But when its is posting this in BW system, then the outbound status of the message is " Message has error status on outbound side"
And when i see BW there are no idocs in that system. Is it that the RFC connection between XI and BW had timed out and so it did not got processed at outbound side. Or there is some other setting required ?
Also, when we tried it with 20 K file then the outbound status is also successful.
Please let me know how to resolve this issue .
Regards,
Ravi

File size difference between DNG Converter and Lightroom Beta 4

Hi,
I want to go the all-DNG route and am trying several things ATM. I want my files to be as small as possible, thus I disable previews and RAW embedding and enable compression in DNG Converter. In Lightroom, there are no options at all. What I do get, are pretty amazing file size differences:
Original .NEF as it came from my D70s: ~5MB
.DNG created by DNG Converter: ~1MB
.DNG created by Lightroom: ~4MB
The very small file size in DNG Converter is the one that bother's me most. I get these small files from time to time. I checked both the DNG and the NEF in Photoshop, and they seem to be identical. So my question is: What triggers these small file sizes? Do I loose anything? Or is the Lightroom DNG converter not as advanced as the stand alone version?
Maybe this helps: I get the ridicolous small files for very dull subjects that tell the computer scientist in me that it should be easily compressable by common compression algorithms.
Thanks for any pointers,
Markus

Thanks for the hint! It did make me revisit those files and now I see the reason for the small file sizes: The Apple Finder does note update the file size view once a file was added to a folder. Here's what I did:
Opened a folder full of .NEFs in detail view in Finder.
Converted them using DNG Converter
Looked at the sizes of the files as they were shown in the Finder window allready open.
Unfortunately, those file sizes are not correct. If I open a new Finder window of the same folder, file sizes are correctly reported as between 3.5 and 5 MB.

SaveForWeb file size difference of scripted versus manually created

I've got a VB script that uses Save For Web to make thumbnail images from a folder of larger images. Most perplexing is the file size difference of these thumbnails using the script versus making them one by one manually.
The thumbnails are 180x120 pixels. Using Save for Web from the file menu to manually create jpegs (50 quality, optimized, no profile, no progressive) the typical resultant file sizes are 9 to 14 KB. Using the script, the file sizes end up from 20KB to 30KB! Additionally, if the original file has any metadata (caption, contact info, copyright, etc) the manual process strips all the metadata out except the copyright notice, which is fine. Using the script however, all metadata remains intact!!
Can anyone explain why this is occurring? I'd sure like the smallest file size possible. Am I missing a parameter in the ExportSaveForWeb options?
Here's this save section of the code:
     Dim sfwOptions As New ExportOptionsSaveForWeb
     sfwOptions.Format = psJPEGSave
     sfwOptions.Quality = 50
     sfwOptions.Optimized = True
     sfwOptions.IncludeProfile = False
     SaveFile = OutputFolder & ImageNumber & ".jpg"
     docRef.Export SaveFile, PsExportType.psSaveForWeb, sfwOptions
Thanks in advance for any insights and guidance.
(BTW, I get a similar file size disparity with javascript too although they end up a tad smaller than the VB script, go figure...)
Tom
PS - The VB Scripting Guide has the wrong name for the Export Document method. It is not "ExportDocument" but rather, simply "Export". Hopefully this tip will save someone hours and hours of frustration and confusion ;-)

Eureka, I found the issue! Now pass the ********...
In the options in the Save for Web window (the two small gray arrows next to the Preset drop down list), on one of the panels there is a checkbox to Preserve Metadata. This was unchecked. Apparently, it was not seen as unchecked when running the script yet behaved accordingly when I did a manual save. Checking this box and clicking apply, run a manual save, then unchecking the box and clicking apply appeared to "reset" it to not save metadata (other than copyright info) either when saving manually or then using the script.
Case closed.

Huge binary file size difference LV 6.1 to LV 8.2

I have an application that was first developed under LabVIEW 4.2 and has been periodically upgraded as necessary. It is normally run as a built application so LabVIEW version changes only come in when something in the application has to be changed. That occasion occurred and we changed from LabVIEW 6.1 to LabVIEW 8.2 for the build environment. No changes were made to any of the file handling vis (other than what LabVIEW did in the conversion, which I didn't check at all).
The problem is that this application writes a large structure (4320 elements in each of 13 single-precision variables) into a binary file once a day. When I started the new version of the application the size of the files went from 242956 bytes to 775334 bytes.
The vi to read these files still works for the old files as well as the new files and a set of C routines that I use to read the files seems to also work correctly with the new files - at least the data looks like it is supposed to when it is plotted.
The change in file size is a concern since this application is supposed to keep writing these files every day for many years into the future.
Is there any known way to return to the original behavior with the smaller files?

Hi Bryan,
you say: "all changes are made with rotates and insert elements to prefent the arrays from growing"!
You should use "replace array elements" to prevent array growth!!! Please check this with your application!

HUGE file size for Pages (iWork '06) documents

I'm in the process of evaluating Pages in the hopes of dumping the last of my Microsoft programs (ie, Word.) I'm impressed with the ease of use; especially when it comes to being a little creative.
My great concern is the file size. I created a Pages document of 6 pages. It had text, images and tables. This relatively small document is a whopping 17.7MB. When I export this document to a Word doc and open it, it looks identical. The file size of the Word doc is only 1.4 MB. A HUGE difference. Is this a known issue or is there some sort of compression setting I'm missing?
I typically work with large docs and I don't want Pages files hogging all of my drive space.

The package shows image1.tif, which I added on the
first page. There's also an image1_filtered-9.tiff
which is HUGE. It's about 3MB larger than the
original file. It looks like Pages possibly makes a
copy of an image when you apply an effect like a drop
shadow?
So if you don't want huge files, I guess you have to
stay away from the image effects...which is actually
what made Pages interesting.
It is the adjustment tool which is causing the ballooning of your files.
If you use the levels adjustement, you will end up with an image which is labelled ~levelled.tiff. If you use the various other parts of the adjustment screen you will get files which are labelled ~-filtered.tiff, with or without version numbers.
There is no optimization of the various files as they are saved, and no user control over their generation. It would be much nicer if the adjustments weere done on the fly, or at least if a size-specific thumbnail were made for on-screen representation.
For now, however, if you are concerned with the size of your files in pages (and keynote, since it also happens there) then do the adjustments elsewhere. I suggest iPhoto, if that is where you have stored your items. You can always make your placed photo an image placeholder and replace it with alternative adjustments later.
(I tested this with a 4k file made for Livejournal, saved as a jpg. The resultant filtered and levelled tiffs were 40k. A considerable increase.)

HUGE file sizes when editing with Photoshop CS5

Reluctantly I've set Photoshop CS5 up to process photographs for things like barrel distortion that my 18-200 Nikon seems especially prone to.
I open any given photograph with apple-shift-O, make my changes and save. However, the copy that's then put back into Aperture 3 the file size comes out as anything between 30mb and 70mb per photograph - far too big.
I've tried both TIFF 16-bit) and PNG (16-bit) options in Aperture which makes no difference. I've had a look through Photoshop CS5 options but can't see anything which looks correct.
Thanks

mjw_london wrote:
I can only assume that it's like this because Aperture 3 only basically allows 2 options, to open in an external editor with either TIFF or PSD - both of which are undesirable because of their huge filesizes. Is there a way of making it open in an external editor with JPEG?
Like jade said, it is not ridiculous. Ideally you would be shooting RAW not (lossy) JPEG to start, but even if you do shoot lossy JPEG you should convert to a lossless format like TIFF or PSD for the entire process of any editing. Large file sizes are a good thing not a bad thing because larger sizes represent more image data. And, hard drive capacity is cheap.
Note that JPEG is a lossy compression algorithm, so when you open a JPEG in Aperture, Photoshop, whatever, the file is decompressed and becomes larger. You can again compress the file (such as back to JPEG) when done editing but be aware that each new compression by a lossy algorithm like JPEG loses image data and may also add undesirable visible artifacts.

Upload huge file size: "The page cannot be displayed" browser

What are precautions to be take for uploading a huge file
I have an upload file operation in the web application. The web server is OC4J.
//UploadForm.jsp
<FORM NAME="InputForm" ACTION="UploadAction.jsp" METHOD="POST" enctype=multipart/form-data>
<input type="file" name="fileName">
</FORM>
After I deploy the application to the web server, if I upload a small file size, it is fine.
But if i upload huge data ,data is uploading but if any action button is clicked
After 30 seconds, it has error "The page cannot be displayed" shown on the web browser.

Hi All,
I have a similar time out problem, it ll be great if some one provide a solution.
The problem I'm facing is becasue of the time out setting in the proxy server which is 1.5 mins. The app server is sending Response properly but after some 2 mins or so because the processing is a bit complicated (3 API calls done intermittently for different validations).
I cant request for change in proxy server time out setting. So I have to handle this with in my application.
It will be greatful if anyone helps us out of this.
Thanks

Huge file size discrepancies when manipulating images

All,
I had some help from some of you last week with some conversions from Word to FrameMaker that made me realize it would be a good idea to start pasting plain text in from my Word documents, and now I have come up with a real puzzler.
See if this makes any sense.
I created a chapter using the paste plain text from Word method. I don't have the exact size, but the chapter turned out a reasonable size, maybe 100K at most. Then I realized all the graphics were in by reference. Now, I have worked places in the past where we never put our graphics in by reference because of the graphics management issues, so I reimported my graphics (all JPGs, 5 of them, and varying anywhere from about 10K to 150K each) directly into the document. My chapter became a whopping 5000K! This is a five-page chapter folks! With a document of about 70 pages to convert, I will easily and quickly run out of disk space before I can check it in.
So, I reimported all my graphics to "by reference." Was I naive to expect my document to return to the original size? Now my chapter is nearly 2500K, about 10 or more times its original size.
I don't remember ever having any size issues with FrameMaker when I used it before (for about 15 years, from FM2.0 to 6.0). Does anyone have any suggestions of how to return this document to a reasonable size without starting over again, pasting plain text in from Word?
One person at work has suggested that there is still some "gunk" from the Word files in my document and that

Hi,
I just tested that myself: Created a new document, imported a JPG file by reference (file size almost didn't change, something around 40 kB), then deleted everything, imported a JPG file by copying (file size was now about 1 MB), deleted everything and saved, and the file size was around 40 kB again. Changing the setting "Save FrameImage with Imported Grahics" didn't make a difference.
Therefore FM is able to get rid of the imported graphics file.
Did you really delete the imported graphics file first, before you imported the same graphics file by reference?
You should also delete all graphics (copied and by reference) and then check the file size. If it still has 2.5 MB, convert to MIF and check whether there is anything left. Use the free MIFBrowse utility to search in the MIF file (or any other text editor) and search for "jpg" or the file name.
You can get MIFBrowse here:

Huge file size when export

Ok so i use Premiere CS3 and when I want to export my video (one single audio track and one image as 'video', total of 5 - 6 minutes) i get a file size of 1.26 GB (!). The imported files have a total size of lower than 10MB. What I do is i export -> movie and choose AVI format. I've tried PAL & NTSC but there is only a slight difference in file size. How is it possible that this exported movie is so big?

when you choose avi format you will see something called " settings" ...when you open that up what do you have selected for your settings ??
when you take a still image which is one little image...with a low byte count....and make it a "video" you are duplicating that little image many times...for example, at 30 frames per second, you are making thirty of those little images for every one second of video time.
If you then multiply 30 of those images (per second) by the total amount of time of the video you get a WAY bigger file size than what you put on the timeline....know what I mean ??
by using some "settings" on the avi file you may be able to "compress" the video a bit more than you currently are...but you will never get the same size file because you are making many frames ( still images) per second and all that adds up to a bigger file

Huge file size for .ai and .eps

Recently I upgraded fo Illustrator CS6 and found something that is going to screw up my working with clients. The problem is that the .ai and .eps files are having really huge size (67MB on an average). I have used about 6 images (jpeg at 1024x768, less than 1MB each) made them as pattern in the swatches panel and applied on various shapes. The .ai file size is 109MB :O :O :O . Another ridiculous thing is that an art that contains only 3 lines of text plus some circles and squares (3 circles, 2 squares) filled with solid color is around 68MB.
This is really bad when I have to send the files to the clients. Please tell me how to reduce the file size without compromising on the pattern quality. Please, this is quite urgent.

Dang! This is really weird. The files I was referring to were for iPad (artboard size 2048x1536). I opened a new doc @ 800x600 and copy pasted everything in the other file and saved it - 109MB file reduced to 402KB jaw dropper!!! I don't know the logic behind it, but I guess it has to be something related to artboard size ...
Thanks guys.

How to manage huge file size documents in SharePoint 2013?

we have different kinds of files
.avi, .wmv, mpeg, .mpg, .m1v, .mp2, .wav, .snd, .au,.mdb,
.db,.bat, .exe, .dll,
and .jar
huge in file size.
appreciated solutions for DMS. like sharepoint and file server or any other solutions.

You have a hard limit of 2Gb which you cannot get around with Remote Blob Storage or anything else. Beyond that size, you're going to have to store content outside SharePoint with links to the content for your readers, of using Search Indexing on the file
location.
If the files are large but not greater than 2Gb they can be stored in SharePoint, but you should be aware of the supported limits for Content Database size, which I recall as 100Gb for a single Content DB, or up to 200Gb for a rarely updated Content DB containing
a single site collection.

Huge File Sizes - Illustrator CS

Lately my file sizes have been absolutely huge - all I was doing earlier was creating a simple poster using a jpeg picture (800kb) and two logos (about 800kb each) and the file size managed to reach 20mb when saved as a PDF! What am I doing wrong here? Is it the pictures I'm using or the illustrator file?
Any ideas??

A guy here had this problem with an Illy file that produced a huge pdf and we haven´t solved the problem yet. It was a simple A4 ad with very little text and one normal sized linked eps image in 300 dpi.
The Illy file saved as a few KB. The linked picture was about 2 MB.
We tried produced a pdf, both straight from Illy and also by distilling an eps of the ad. The eps was about 3 MB but the resulting pdf (with the image in 300 dpi) was around 9 MB whichever way we tried to do things.
This struck us all as abnormal and we tried different methods on different machines but no-one can find what went wrong. We just send the 9 MB pdf to press and everything was o.k., but we still don't know why it was so big.
Any ideas anyone?

File size differences in Premiere

Hello,
I've been using FCP for years, and with the Apple situation there, I recently switched to Premiere, and I have to say, I'm very happy I did. So far, I really like it.
My issue is with file sizes of final outputs.
In FCP, my file sizes were (for a 30 second TV spot) genereally at least in the several hundred MB. Now, when I compress them using the Adobe Media Encoder, (doing my absolute best to keep the same settings) and every file size is 35MB...
It sounds silly to complain, and the files LOOK good, the TV stations have accepted them without a problem, I'm just concerned I'm doing something wrong and missing something.
I do Export/Media from Premiere. I convert to Quicktime/H.264.
I match the source settings, and click every box that says to Maximize Render Quality, etc...
Nothing seems to change the end file size, always about 35MB.
When I did it in FCP, I just did the Quicktime Export, then ran it through MPG Stremclip to make it a H264.
These files were always at least 235MB.
Thank you for your help!
Johnny X

...the TV stations have accepted them without a problem, I'm just concerned I'm doing something wrong and missing something.
So, I tried with no limits and the file size was huge.
Any recommendation for where that should be set?
Normally, broadcasters will specify a target bitrate
for submitted files in their spec sheet.
Like this:
SD/HD Master File Specifications - Extreme Reach
http://www.extremereach.com/pdf/SD-HD-Master-File-Specs.pdf
And this:
DG - File-Based content submission

I would check there.
