Media Encoder CC 2014 Exports larger file than Media Encoder CC with same settings

We like to deliver final exports to most of our clients with the following settings:
Format: Quicktime
Codec: H.264
Quality: 100
1920x1080, 23.976, progressive, square pixels
use maximum render quality
audio: uncompressed, 48khz, stereo, 16 bit, single track
When I used to export a ~5 minute video using these settings with Premiere or Media Encoder CC (7.2.2.29), I would get a file ~1GB. If I export a ~5 minute video using these settings in Premiere or Media Encoder CC 2014 (8.0.1.48), the result is ~ 4GB.
Any thoughts on why this might be? I assume it's a user error but I can't nail down what it is.
Thanks for your help!

Hi matthewrichie88,
I used the same settings that you have mentioned above on a Windows 7 computer and got the same file size with both versions of Media Encoder. Please specify if you have a Mac or a Windows and which OS exactly? It would really help if you can post screenshots of your export settings with both versions. Give more details about the source files as well.
Thanks!

Aperture is exporting large file size e.g. original image is 18.2MB and the exported version (TFF 16 Bit) is 47.9MB, any ideas please

Raws, even if not compressed, Sould be smaller than a 24-bit Tiff, since they have only one bitplane. My T3i shoots 14 bit 18MP raws and has a raw file size of 24.5 MB*. An uncompressed Tiff should have a size of 18 MP x 3 bytes per pixel or 54 MB.
*There must be some lossless compression going on since 18 MP times 1.75 bytes per pixel is 31.5MB for uncompressed raw.

Is it possible to upload large files through FTP to server with iWeb?

Is it possible to upload large files through FTP to server with iWeb like for example with Cyberduck?
I don't need to publish website with files, I just need to upload files on server. Can it be done somehow with iWeb?

Here's some info about FTP...

Make sure you are allowed to store files on your server. Most hosting services don't allow anything to be stored that can't be accessed via the internet. Check the fine print!

Firefox stops loading files halfway through - i.e. has same settings (except allow for session) and works fine

Firefox stops loading files halfway through - Internet explorer has same settings (except allow for session), is less secure and works fine.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

Why does Adobe Media Encoder fail to export Quicktime Files?

I'm using Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 on a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit PC.
While exporting the Quicktime variant of H.264 for ATSC television broadcast files, Adobe Media Encoder fails. Non-Quicktime H.264's render correctly, but some television stations require quicktime.
Troubleshooting reveals the problem only occurs when attempting to make a 1920x1080 H.264 QuickTime file.
Using the same original file (1920x1080), Adobe Media Encoder WILL export a 720x480/486 H.264 MOV file.
More interesting still, it will ALSO export at 1280x720.
Testing this information to it's limits, I found that the cutoff for a successful render is between a frame size of 1610x906 and 1609x905.
Useless, random sizes, I know... but that's the breaking point for Adobe Media Encoder CS6 (6.0.3.1 to be precise) and H.264 Quicktime files.
Others are having a similar problem:

I'm trying to make a file with the extension ".MOV" using AME's "HD 1080i 29.97, H.264, AAC 48kHz" preset. AME fails every time with the following message:
"Encoding Failed
Export Error
Error compiling movie.
Unknown error."
Any other file extension (MP4, M4V, etc.) renders fine. The issue seems only to happen when attempting to make an MOV file. It doesn't seem to matter whether I use AME's built-in preset, or customize my own render settings--the problem always happens with any MOV larger than the size I mentioned above.
All of this used to work just fine on the same machine 2 years back with Adobe CS5, previous version of windows and QuicTime. I've been all through the Adobe and Windows possibilities, so I'm grabbing at straws here with QuickTime maybe having something to do with it.
Interesting.
Would you happen to know if Adobe has made any changes to its manner of muxing long-address MPEG-4 AVC data to the MOV file container? Since the MP4 and M4V files encode properly, have you tried opening these files in a media player and simply using the "Save As..." option to move the date to an MOV file container without transcoding audio or video data? I.e., is there any obvious relationship between the size of the MOV file encode (less than/greater than 4 GB) as a function of the resolution "break point" previously discovered?

Export large files and maintaining high dpi

My export default is set to 300 dpi, but it continually exports at 250 dpi -- how can I fix this? I have very large files, but sometimes when I upload to Photoshop they show at 72 dpi. Something is off.

Where do you set the export default? There is no Export default, afaik. You can define export presets, to pick from. Which export prset will be applied, depends on how you export.
If you export using the Media Browser - drag from the Aperture window, the Preview will be exported.
If you export an Image Version (File -> Export -> Version), the selected Export preset (in the File chooser) will be used.
If you export a Master (File -> Export -> Master),no export peresets apply, the original master image file will be exported.
If you export to an external Editor, the settings in the Preferences -> Export apply.
So how do you export and "upload to Photoshop to get so surprising results?

Need help exporting large file to bitmap format

I have a large file that I need to export to a bitmap format and I am experiencing unknown "IMer" errors, memory and file size limitations.
The file contains only one artboard of size around 8000 pixels by 6000 pixels. I can successfully export as a png at 72dpi giving me a 100% image of my AI file. However I need to export an image at 200% of the AI file. If I export as a png at 144dpi to achieve this I get the following error(s)
"The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error (IMer)" or "Could not complete this operation. The rasterised image exceeded the maximum bounds for savung to the png format"
I have tried exporting as tiff, bmp and jpeg but all give "not enough memory" or "dimensions out of range" errors.
Does anyone know the limitations with AI for saving large files to bitmap format?
Does anyone have a workaround I could try?

You could try printing to Adobe Postscript files.
This will actually save a .ps file and you can scale it to 200% when doing so. You'll need to "print" for every image change.
Then open a Photoshop document at your final size (16000x12000 pixels) and place or drag the .ps files into the Photoshop document.
I just tested this and it seems to work fine here. But, of course, I don't have your art, so complexity of objects might factor in and I'm not seeing that here.
And you are aware that Photoshop won't allow you to save a png at those dimension either, right? The image is too large for PNG. Perhaps you could explain why you specifically need a png that large???

Exporting Large Files for Web Use

Most of my images are around 3000x2000 in filesize and between 10MB and 15MB. They are for use on the web so I don't want them to be too large (in MB's.)
What is the best option:
- keep original size and lower the quality-setting from 100% to -let's say- between 75% and 90%
- Resize them -let's say- to half size.
The large files have more pixels but are lower quality, or the resized files are higher quality but have less pixels - what is the best?

You don't need to but it is advisable as scaling always makes images soft.
You have to scale to display an image on a monitor as a monitor is a very
low resolution device. Luckily you can do the sharpening straight in the
export dialog and you don't really need to think about it. Sharpen for
screen at standard setting is usually just fine. So try using the following
settings in the export dialog:
File settings: jpeg, quality 75, Color Space sRGB
Image Sizing: resize to fit long edge, 800 pixels
Output sharpening: Sharpen for screen, amount Standard
Metadata: Minimize embedded metadata (preserves your copyright info
but omits all the edit and
camera info)
Then play
around with the sharpening amount and compare the exports to see what
you prefer. There is very little difference between High and Standard.

Exporting large file in QT

I am trying to export a 55 min. sequence in Pro Res 422 to a QT self contained file in the same format and I keep
getting the "error-out of memory" pop up.
I tried to render out the sequence first, but I get the same message.
This is strange as I have done this operation before without problems on a different project.
Not sure what to try next. Any suggestions would be appreciated as always.
thanks
MP

Thanks for the responses. I do have a good number of stills, but they are in RGB. And 55 min. of ProRes IS a large file, but it all is going into an empty 1TB external drive, so there is plenty of space there.
Now, this is a 55 min. doc that is subtitled. So, I'm thinking that the subtitling may make it render heavy.
I suspect that the problem is in the amount of rendering because I get the same message when I try to render the sequence before exporting it out onto a QT file.
So, this is where I go dark because I'm not really a computer techie. How is the rendering achieved? I thought that the system used HD space when it ran out of RAM.
My sequence is made up of 3 different segments from 3 different original sequence files. Would it help if I bring in all 3 sequences as nested files?

Export large file

Is there a way to export a large file containing approximately 250,000 rows to excel or a csv file? If not, is there another tool that can be used?
Pany

spool filename.csv
There are a number of ways to do this. You can use "set colsep ," but that leaves lost of spaces between columns which most people don't like; or you can concatenate columns to get using "col1||','||col2....".
On the ask tom website if you search around there is a pl sql program which will generate a csv for an arbitraty statement.

Is there a system preference menu somewhere that is blocks exporting large files?

Why won't iphoto 8 allow me to share large files? Are there system preferences set that I can't find?
I am trying to burn a DVD, and don't want to downgrade the image quality. It is set to moderate, and the place of choice is greyed out.
Thanks!

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some of the large photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
To get the original large photos out of your current library Command (right) - click on a thumbnail and select Show Original File from the Contextual menu.
You'll be taken to the original file in the Finder so you can COPY it to the Desktop to use in the test library.

FCE export quality worse than iMovie with same settings

Hi, I'm having real problems exporting video from FCE. If I import an HD clip from my Panasonic sd200 into iMovie and export it as a .mov and do exactly the same in FCE using the same export settings, the quality of the exported movie from FCE is much worse than the same from iMovie. I have been struggling with this problem for months and cannot seem to get any sort of decent quality export from FCE (using H264) and spent hours trying different settings.
Also, the colours in the exported videos from iMovie and FCE are less saturated and look really bland next to the same clip in FCE canvas.
Please can anyone help? Even the guys in the Apple shop could not figure this one out.

Sorry the camera is actually a Panasonic HS200.
The native format is .MTS and films in 1920x1080 50i. Imported via iMovie as a .MOV which gives the same quality footage as if I imported via Log and Transfer.
I will expand on the problem I am experiencing. When I export from FCE4 using "QuickTime conversion" I use the following settings:
Codec: h.264 Key Frames: every 25
Frame rate: 25fps Frame Reordering: on
Data Rate Restricted to: 10mbps
Optimised for: Download
Quality: High Encoding: Best quality (multi-pass)
Dimensions: 1920x1080
Deinterlace Source Video: ticked
When the deinterlacing is ticked, the final exported video appears ghosted, with two of the same images projected side by side rather than one on top of the other, creating a very bad image. However when deinterlacing is not ticked the final exported video ends up with horizontal lines across the entire image. This is seen even more clearly when not in full screen.
When I export from iMovie 09, using Share>Export using QuickTime using the same settings as in FCE4 (deinterlacing ticked) the footage is very clear and there is no noticeable ghosting or horizontal lines.
When I export footage from FCE the video also end up desaturated and washed out, with low contrast. The same happens when I export from iMovie, but to an even greater extent!
My 'Easy Setup' for FCE4 is:
Format: Apple intermediate Codec Rate: 25fps
Use: AVCHD- Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i50
These are the problems I experience; described above.
I do no know whether the problem is something to do with my export settings; settings in FCE; or whether FCE exaggerates the quality of my images (which i highly doubt); or if it is because FCE4 is now around 4 years old, and iMovie is from 2009, and therefore has more advanced settings for AVCHD?
I am by no means a professional when it comes to talking video jargon.
Any help is truly appreciated as i have completed over 150 test exports in FCE and the Final Cut experts at the Apple store spent almost 2 hours trying to work something about, but could not think of anything!
Thanks in advance.

SFTP MGET of large files fails - connection closed - problem with spool file

I have a new SFTP job to get files from an FTP Server. The files are large (80mg, 150mg). I can get smaller files from the ftp site with no issue, but when attempting the larger files the job completes abnormally after 2 min 1 sec. each time. I can see the file is created on our local file system with 0 bytes, then when the FTP job fails, the 0 byte file is deleted.
Is there a limit to how large an ftp file can be in Tidal? How long an ftp job can run?
The error in the job audit is Problem with spool file for job XXXX_SFTPGet and an exit code of 127 (whatever that is).
In the log, the error is that the connection was closed. I have checked with the ftp host and their logs show that we are disconnecting unexpectedly also.

I believe there is a limitation on FTP and what you are seeing is a timeout built into the 3rd party application that tidal uses (I feel like it was hardcoded and it would be a big deal to change but this was before Cisco purchased tidal) there may have been a tagent.ini setting that tweaks that but I can't find any details.
We wound up purchasing our own FTP software (ipswitch MOVEit Central & DMZ) because we also had the need to host as well as Get/Put to other FTP sites. It now does all our FTP and internal file delivery activity (we use it's api and call from tidal if we need to trigger inside a workflow)

Exporting Orginal files in Albums in Aperture with Applescript

I am moving my library (25000+ pics) to Lightroom 4 from Aperture and I found this script that does a great job in exporting edited files to a folders on a disk.
The last script on this conversation:

How to export edited GoPro mov from Premiere with same settings & similar size?

I feel like this should be easy but every time I try to export my edited video it's much bigger than the original, or it's smaller and bad quality.
My business partner sent me a 720p GoPro MOV that is 33:50 long and 1.78GB. I edited out 3 minutes and want to render in the same quality.
I've tried exporting as MOV and MP4 with various settings and it either ends up huge, like 25GB or more, or half the size and terrible quality.
I also tried rendering "match sequence settings" and it chooses a GoPro codec with a weird file extension (MXF).
The closest I've gotten is H.264 "Match Source - High bitrate" but that's still 2.29GB
Thanks,
Phil

i would guess the gopro MOV file that was sent to you is h264. you can adjust the bitrate on export to h264 from premiere so its smaller. if you want more compression with sightly better quality you will have to export as dnxhd/prores or even uncompressed and then use a program like handbrake to transcode to x264 or x265.
