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.

What is theoptimal file size for stills, and dpi?

what is theoptimal file size for stills, and dpi?

In video dpi is not relevent. What counts in video is pixels. In FCP most recommendations I have seen is to size your stills so they have no more than 3 times the pixels in your project aspect ratio. For example if your project is 1280x720 then stills should be no more than 3 times the 1280x720. This allows you to crop the stills and still have good resolution. If no cropping is anticipated then they could be the same size as your project.

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.)

Best file sizes for images and how they get loaded?

I have 103 images in an album in iPhoto that I'm sharing with my new Appletv. Whenever I check Preview for the Screen Saver it always seems to show me the same 6 images. When I go to view the photos directly under Computers it shows a few of them instantly (these do not display under Screen Saver) though the others take a while to load.
1. How much internal storage does the ATV have?
2. Is there an ideal file size each of these should be? Will images load quicker if I can get them smaller?
3. Why does the Screen Saver not show all of the images that also load instantly under Computer (I'm guessing they're cached)?
Thanks.

I havent heard of the appleTV deselecting items it deems to be too poor resolution.
Once it has a full cache (and it could support about 20000 large photos) you can expect that all images that show in iphoto also show in appletv.
Do they have some flagged designation? hidden?
Are they variant in file types? jpeg png?

What's with the HUGE file sizes for patches

Hi gang,
Every time I install a patch my Staroffice directory bloats back up. When installing for the first time, I select english only and it only installs english but when I install the patches it installs about 5 different languages which fattens up the installation. Can't it be smart enough to realize that I only want English or just give me the option during install for English only or better yet, let me download an english only install.
Now for Linux it is even worse as the "patch" is about 500MB and includes MANY more duplicate files by language.
Some of us don't have the bandwidth OR HD space to spare on all of this.
IS Sun at all concerned? Does anyone else care?

Saturday 13 January 2007
With the exception of the patches for 1.1.5, which are available as a total of three files, SO is following OOo which includes all files in its updates.

How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the Bookmarks Library?

How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the '''Bookmarks''' Library?
Since the upgrade to version 9.0.1 of Firefox, the Bookmarks feature changes are confusing me. They seem to be confusing themselves as well. The list of bookmarks has changed. The font size is so small that my aging eyes cannot read it without fogging the screen with my breath. Some folders are out of alphabetical order (where I know they were previously good), and some are missing altogether (folders to which I frequently add references).
As for missing or deranged files or folders, was there something that I should have done or now need to do to recover those after the upgrade (or before)?
With regard to font size,
1. there is no “Edit Bookmarks” or like option to edit the list in this version
2. the “zoom” option in the “view” list of functions is greyed out when in “Show All Bookmarks” window
3. expanding the browser window has no effect on font size
4. “Preferences” settings for font size has no effect in that window either, including advanced settings
5. “Help” offers none that I can find.
Can any of you Help?!?

Maybe this extension helps:

I need to save some pictures from iPhoto to a SDHC photo card for a digital frame and was wondering if there is a way to shrink or compress file size for each picture as I have already cropped the pictures? Thank you

I need to save some pictures from iPhoto to a SDHC photo card for a digital frame and was wondering if there is a way to shrink or compress file size for each picture as I have already cropped the pictures? Thank you

Yes, you do this when you export the images from the Library.
File -> Export
in the Size section, you don't need images larger than the frame size, so you can specify that and in the Jpeg Quality you can select the amount of compression used.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.

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

What is an idea of maximum file size for a film in Captivate?

Hi there,
I'm creating an elearning course in Captivate 7, and it is being published as HTML5. This means the films I've imported are being converted to MP4s, and they are around 10-20mb in size once they've converted. They seem very slow to load on some computers - do you think the file size is too big? Or could it be another issue? Does anyone have a recommendation for maximum file size for films? They are 572 x 322px and around 1-2 mins in length.
Thanks in advance

Probably better guidelines that dictates 'size' of a vi are:
typically no more than 1 video screen in size
is it legible
and is it's function and operation clear.
I have seen examples of '1 vi does it all' that were many screens wide and tall, totally a flustercuck, and nearly 1 MB in size.
Globals and local variables (except for LV2 style) are typcially shunned for they can create a host of problems (race conditions, indeterminant data).
Use connector pane to wire controls and indicators to. Then use wires between vi's to transfer data. I tend to use clusters to hold shared data.

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.

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 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,

Session "Circular Kernel Context Logger" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000035
As suggested above I assume this is a microsoft issue? It has been discussed here and other forums for quite some time. I never have seen a fix? I wish when we received errors of this nature microsoft would tell us what they were. How is this related to superfetch? What is superfetch? Why would superfetch have changed?
BY THE WAY.... Superfetch is on(started) is on automatic and logs on as local system. So this is not the cause of my issue. Also what is readyboot? Does the average computer really know what these programs/services or unique microsoft words/terms are?
