Output file size doubled

I have created a movie in Premiere Elements that uses hi-def video, still images, narration and a soundtrack. The movie is about 1 hour long. Once the movie reached its final length of about 1 hour, the output file size of the movie to be burned to Blu-ray was consistently around 11 GB. For reasons I don't understand, the output file size has abruptly grown to 26 GB. I have not added any significant footage or effects since I reached the 1 hour mark. I've only made very small tweaks to the audio balance and transitions.
The only thing that I can think of that might have caused this growth is that I went into the project settings and turned off "optimize stills." I may also have turned on "maximum bit depth." When I clicked ok, Premiere Elements told me that it had to re-render the project, which i did so. Since then, though, i have re-enabled "optimize stills" and turned off "maximize bit depth." I have also re-rendered the project again. My file size is still 26 GB.
I am running PE on a 3.06 GHZ laptop with 6 GB of ram. Running Windows 7, 64-bit.
Has anyone else run into this issue?

The only thing that I can think of that might have caused this growth is that I went into the project settings and turned off "optimize stills." I may also have turned on "maximum bit depth."
File size is dependent on Bit-Rate and on Duration. If you have upped the Bit-Rate, you will see an increase in file size. Will the Project still fit on your BD? If so, and you want highest quality, the Bit-Rate and Bit-Depth can just stay higher. If space is an issue, then you can drop these down a bit.
Something else to think about and look for is has your Duration changed. This can be caused by "Orphans," out beyond where you intend your Timeline to end. This ARTICLE will give you some tips. This is easy to check.
Good luck,

  • XML DB: As XML file size doubles validate time more than doubles

    Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
    We have default XMLDB install. I am using schemavalidate() to successfullly validate xml files against a registered xsd. For some reason as the files size doubles the time to validate the file grows at a faster rate than double? We wanted to generate approx 18MB files since they hold 5000 records. But as you can see it appears I would be better off generating six 3MB files instead. What init.ora or xdbconfig.xml parameter might I change to help out with behavior? Any other ideas of why this happening? Is this an example of "doesn't scale"?
    1.5MB 3 Seconds
    3MB 15 Seconds
    6MB 1 Minute
    12MB 6 Minutes

  • Will duplicating a slide cause the output file size to double?

    I have a captivate project that consists of a single slide.
    This slide contains an swf video on the stage. If I publish the
    project, the output is 137 kb. If I go back to captivate, and
    duplicate this slide ten times, the published output is 670 kb. Is
    this a normal increase in merely duplicating a slide? I thought
    captivate uses symbols to maintain a small file size, or is that
    just adobe flash that does that?

    To get 8 mins under 75 Mbs, you'll have to test bit rates in the 800Kb to 1.2 Mb range to see what you get for quality.
    H.264 is sort of the go-to codec for Web delivery. But if you can, also check out the x.264 decoder, which has a strong following…particularly when it comes to lower bit rate files.
    Good luck.

  • Excel output file size is large - How to make it small in size?

    Hi,
    An Excel file out put is too large when I get it from application. If I copy and paste the same content in an excel sheet , the size is too small.
    How can I fix this?
    Excel output size from application - 12.4 MB - 4500 records
    copy paste file size - 827 KB
    Oracle EBS 11.5.10.2
    BI Publisher Desktop Version - 10.1.3.4.2
    Thanks in advance.

    BIP generates an XHTML output with mime-type xls and thus Excel is invoked when it is downloaded. XHTML is text and therefore it is lenghty. When you copy and paste it in Excel you save it in binary format and compress.
    My suggestion is create an excel template instead of rtf. Not sure if this is possible for EBS (open a ticket with Oracle Support to confirm you can use excel templates in EBS the version you have).
    Reference:
    http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/entry/real_excel_templates_i
    In this way your output will be a truly binary file with size much more smaller.

  • Media Encoder CS4 output file size varies--why??

    I was batch encoding several files yesterday, and one of the files failed. Adobe Media Encoder provided no details, other than when I hover over the yellow exclamation point error icon, it says: "Error compiling movie. Unknown error." Very insightful.
    Today I reprocessed the file same file with the same preset [FLV - Same As Source (Flash 7 and Higher)] and it worked fine. To check for instability on my machine, I actually ran the same job 10 times, and each job succeeded. But the curious thing is, even though I was using the same input file and output preset, I see that the output files vary in size. The output sizes are:
    30,739,977 bytes
    30,750,834 bytes
    30,750,504bytes
    30,750,654bytes
    30,739,928bytes
    30,740,044bytes
    30,750,615bytes
    30,740,001bytes
    30,739,979bytes
    30,750,637bytes
    Now I understand that this variation is less than 10kB on a 30MB file, so it's prety small. But I am curious as to why the file size would vary in this way.
    Any ideas?

    I would guess that you are overclocking your cpu and the cooler is not able to make the cpu cool enough and some calculations can go wrong. There are programs that put the cpu in a high load and check if it's running properly as expected. Give them a try.

  • Output file size restrictions - HD Video for YouTube

    For over a year YouTube has removed restrictions on file sizes for individuals that want to do so.  The preset output in Premier Elements 11 for "Online - HD Video for YouTube 1920X1080" will not allow a video longer than 15 minutes.  I need to remove this restriction and be able to produce files to upload to YouTube without file size restrictions.  How can I do this?

    TheBanjoNut
    You cannot. And, Premiere Elements 12 has the same YouTube limitations as 11.
    You need to export your Timeline to a file saved to the computer hard drive, and then upload that file to YouTube at the YouTube web site.
    At YouTube, you would need to explore the opportunities that it offers in the way of "extended times". It may require special accounts.
    Without further details of your Premiere Elements project preset and the properties of your source media, I would generalize and suggest that you look at the follow choices for creating this file for upload to YouTube at the YouTube web site...
    Publish+Share
    Computer
    AVCHD
    with Presets =
    MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080p30
    or
    YouTube Widescreen HD (changing the settings under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of the preset)
    Please review. If you have any further questions on this, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thanks.

  • File size doubles from Photoshop CS 5.0/5.1 to CS6

    Hi there,
    if this has been covered already I´m sorry, but anyway...
    Working on a iMac27 with 12Gb Ram. Recently upgraded Photoshop from CS5.0 to 5.1, then shortly thereafter to CS6. What I noticed is that the file size of opened files with layers roughly doubles from CS 5.0/5.1 to 6.0. Everything seems to stay the same with a single-layer file, but not with files with several layers. Opening and saving files seems to have slowed down somewhat, but not drastically, but having a file with fomerly 1,5Gb suddenly increasing to 3,4Gb size is somewhat problematic because of limited Ram, because it effectively limits the amount of layers I can pack into one image file.
    Any input is greatly appreciated!

    Hi, thanks a lot!
    Ok, one after the other:
    Hello, are those document 16bits?
    Yes - I saved a copy from the original file and reduced to 8bit. Slightly less when opened, but not substantially (from 1,51 Gb to 1,3Gb).
    did you add the plugin to disable flate compression?
    No, I wasn´t familiar with this plug in, but doesn´t it say that the file wize wil increase, but saving will be faster? Not sure if it would adress this problem at all.
    Another possible cause would be the compatibility checkbox when you save.
    I tried that (= unclicking the compatibility check box), and the file when unopened on the desktop was much smaller (down to 60Mb from 240Mb). However when opened it was still the same issue.
    Are the settings in the infobar the same?
    Not sure if I understand what you mean.... In the opened file, or getting info on the file on the desktop?
    The filesize is the uncompressed one.
    At the bottom of the image window it gives me 2 numbers: The left one is much smaller (163Mb), the right one is roughly 1,5Gb. Just opened again in PS CS 5.1: Left one is the same, the right one says 633Mb (16-bit file). So CS6 actually makes roughly 2,5 times the file size out of it.
    Did you check on the hard drive if the file size changes?
    Just did, the file size remians the same.
    Kinda surprised that no one else seems to have encounterd this problem. I recall Chris Cox having made a comment about overall sluggishness of CS6 when opening and saving, and he remarked that it´s the "well known" layer management issue in CS6. Not sure if this somehow relates also to my problem.

  • Output file size increases as export occurs?

    Hello,
    I'm currently exporting a lengthy project in Adobe Media Encoder.  The settings are fairly straightforward I think, h.264 codec, 1280x720 @ 23.976 fps (i'm downgrading a bit from the native 1920x1080 files) ultimately leading to a .mov file.
    I've exported many times but never bothered to look at the output file template that is created where I told the compressor to save the export WHILE it is being exported.  So I don't know if when i click on the file and it says zero bytes after a half hour of encoding, if that means something is wrong of it just won't show the file size until export is complete?

    Hi,
    The file size cannot be determined unless the file is exported completely.  So please check the size of the file once encoding completes.
    Regards,
    Vinay

  • Lightroom Mobile output file sizes

    I have started using LR mobile yesterday and can't figure out how to export, share or even save to the camera roll a full size resolution photo after I do my edit. There doesn't seem to be an option to allow me to choose the edited photo output size and all I get is the edited photo at around 2000 pixels. I understand LR mobile uses smart previews and the original file imported is smaller as a result, but the 2048 pixels output is smaller than what my client requires and this forces me to use other Apps to deliver my files on the go.

    120MB - WOW!
    I am starting to look into the whole Adobe mobile dev tools - as apps are targetting devices with usually way smaller capabilites than common desktops - file size is possibly an important factor, right!? lol
    You could take a look at some pure AS3 coding - Daniel Freeman seems to be having some fun in this direction with his non flexy AS3 mobile components library - MadComponents.

  • Output file size

    I have been away from doing video for some time.  Been doing still photos.  In that medium I have learned the tricks of the trade on how to change the pixels per inch and compression levels to minimize the size of the final product for better performance over the internet.  My question is what games do you play with videos to minimize the end product file size?

    Jeff
    Your views on the undernoted would be appreciated.
    Recapping the example in post #29
    File size F = B x T
    Lets say bitrate B = 3000 (kB/s) and duration T = 5min = 300 seconds
    Hence file size F = 3000 x 300 = 900000 kB
    So returning to the previous example, instead of adjusting the Compression Ratio from 9 to 2.25, maintain the original compression ratio based on the original 3000 kB/s bitrate, that is 9. This means that when the Frame Size is now adjusted down from 640 x 480 to 340 x 240, the bitrate can go down in the same proportions. Namely from 3000 kB/s to 750 kB/s. This then reflects in the file size reducing accordingly to 225000 kB, showing a drop in file size in direct proportion to reducing frame dimensions.
    I believe this addresses the original poster's request for guidance on file size parameters and shows a direct relationship between file size and frame size and also incorporates temporal compression considerations.
    John
    PS
    Mathematically this can be expressed as:
    Rearranging the Adobe File Size equation and introducing a codec compression variable:
    File size F = (Frame Size K x Frame rate (fps)) x T
                                            C
    Where K = ([Pixel Width x Pixel Height x Bit Depth] / 8) / 1024
    and C = compression ratio of the codec
    Therefore  F = B x T = (Frame Size K x Frame rate (fps)) x T ( T not equal to 0 )
                                                           C
    Therefore B = (Frame Size K x Frame rate (fps))
                                            C
    or
    B (is proportional to) Frame Size
    This shows mathematically that B the bitrate is directly proprtional to the Frame Size assuming Frame rate and Compression Ratio are held constant. Even if the Compression Ratio is not held constant, but allowed to vary through the compression process, the average/mean/notional Bitrate used to calculate the file size in the equation F = Bmean x T can still be considered to be a function of the Frame Size. This would be achieved by:
    F = The Sum of  (B1 x T1 + B2 x T2 + … Bn x Tn) = Bmean x T
    Again, this ignores container overheads and audio etc

  • Settings to determine the output file size

    I have an 8 minute music video that I'm trying to upload to a site that accepts a maximum file size of 65mb.  I've tried several different codec but I can only get it down to 75mb.  Any suggestions on a format that will give a small size but still retain good audio quality?

    To get 8 mins under 75 Mbs, you'll have to test bit rates in the 800Kb to 1.2 Mb range to see what you get for quality.
    H.264 is sort of the go-to codec for Web delivery. But if you can, also check out the x.264 decoder, which has a strong following…particularly when it comes to lower bit rate files.
    Good luck.

  • PDF file size doubles when recording to CD

    XP Pro Sp3
    I have old PDF files that I am trying to burn to disk for protection.  The documents are one size but when I add them to the CD record program they show double the size.  Example this  document was 323KB in size but when placed in the recorder program it takes up 668 KB's
    This is the data from the file  323KB  8/2004  Application: PScriptd5.dll Version 5.2  PDF Version 1.3 PDF Producer: Acrobat Distiller 5.0 (windows) On the properties window under General is says it is blocked to help protect this computer.  I don't know what that means  I am using Adobe Reader 9.3 to
    read it.
    I am using Sonic Record Now version 6.5 as my record software. It came with the computer in 2004 I know it is old. Grin.
    I did multiple scans on it and it shows up clean.  Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Cel

    Hi there:  First I apologize I think I gave the wrong answer to the question about the issue being resolved.  You were right on the mark.  The issue has nothing to do with the PDF file but with the burning software miscalculating.
    Thank you for your time in replying to help me.

  • Is there a pdf output file size limitation?

    Hi,
    I have an rtf invoice template that worked fine in test environments. Now that it has been migrated to Production, it works except for this one invoice that has created a meta data XML file that is 2 MB, which is not that large, is it? Additionally, I cannot open the metadata file in html, it just hangs, but can in a text editor, so I have been chopping up the file into smaller pieces and can get pdf output of around 175 pages worth.
    I've tried it with different sets of data from this file, and they work, just not the whole file. Is there some setting required for this to work?

    Thanks, but what sort of infrastructure are you referring to? There are 8500 rows of data for this invoice at three levels which is not large, but some fields are 240 characters long.
    I'm not getting an Out of Memory type of error. In fact, I'm not getting any errors, just that there is no output. pdf-compression is set to true. What else could I check?

  • File size extremely high for .avi after render PE 9

    I'm very new to PE and have tried to learn quick to redact info (faces etc) in .avi files for a government agency. I was able to open the file (in the trial version) and make the track matte by dragging the original file to the timeline then dragging it again to the video 2 timeline for the top layer, Question 1) is this the same as copy and paste or am I doubling the size already? Anyway, I was able to get the matte and everything done. Now, to Render and save... I choose computer/avi again (I need to keep it the same) and it took 1 hr 45 min to render it, that seemed long to me but maybe not... but mainly the file size was then 100,883 kb! Starting with a 29.7 kb file. This is what my question is about....could this be right? I can't use it if this is what I get. So, here are the particulars as I got G-spot and looked it up, as per serveral suggestions I saw here. I'm trying to understand the CODEC info but I fear I have a ways to go before I can figure out what I did wrong. (This is my test computer, the future work would be done on a newer, better computer).  The videos I would be working with come from various sources and will vary in length but will probably all be a kind of avi.

    Thanks for you response and the information was very helpful. I was able to choose and output that gave me a good file size and I do want DV-AVI (I don't remember what I chose but it worked) but, I don't see an option for DV-AVI - is that a general DV output selection, because there seem to be numerous (AVCHD, NTSC, DV STANDARD) acronyms (I have tried to understand what each is) which do I want?

    For the use of Track Matte Keying, with say a Gaussian Blur, or maybe Moasic Effect, if you have not altered the In & Out Points, then just dragging the Asset to both Video 1 and Video 2 will work fine. If you HAVE adjusted the In & Out Points, you can just click-drag from the Source Monitor, where you set those In & Out Points, and all is good. The Copy/Paste is just another way to do it.
    As you are doing an "overlay," the output File Size will not be affected in any way. You are also limiting the Blur, or Effect on Video 2 to just the area "exposed" by the Track Matte, so the pixel count will not be altered.
    As Steve points out, the output CODEC in the AVI will determine the output File Size. File Size is basically determined by the Timeline's Duration and by the Bit-Rate of the output file. With DV-AVI, that Bit-Rate is pretty well set, and your Timeline determines the Duration. At ~ 13GB/hour, a DV-AVI will be pretty large, but that is the nature of the beast. Also, and as Steve points out, if you are going to do additional editing, and will be Importing that file into a New Project, DV-AVI is about as good, as it gets.
    Good luck,
