PPC File Size in Present 7

I'm having trouble with a project for a client using
Presenter 7. The client gave me a number of courses in the old
format which we translated into another language. After I finished
the project, I exported the courses to Presenter 5.*/6.*, but the
PPC file size is huge. I changed the quality settings for the audio
format, and that changed the size of the version 7 files, but it
didn't have any affect on the PPC. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Hi,
>There will huge performance issue when we were sorting this 30MB file..
why?
this is a simple file - IDOC flow without any BPM
and I assume you can do the sorting inside the mapping
so why do you think there will be any performance issue ?
unless you have dozens of 30 mb files per couple of minutes...

Audio (PPC) File Size

Hello. We have been working with Adobe Presenter to create
presentations/lectures which we ultimately upload to our University
Adobe Connect server. We have been seeing some very annoying
problems with the size of the audio (PPC) file.
On one system, I recorded a lecture that had 60 slides and 60
minutes of audio. The PPC file size is roughly about 30MB.
On another system, I recorded 18 slides with 23 minutes of
audio. The PPC files size is roughly 130MB.
I then took the 2nd presentation I created (130MB) and
attempted to split it into two presentations to get smaller lecture
sizes. I did this via Adobe Presenter and PowerPoint. I cut the
presentation into two presentations, A and B. I then had 2 audio
(PPC) files per part (A & B). The very strange thing was that
the size of the PPC file for each of them (130MB) was the same as
it was when they were combined (130MB). I would think it should
have been less, roughly half but it stayed identical. If I looked
at the audio for part A and then for part B via the 'Audio Editor'
it showed just their audio (so half the minutes as the original)
but why is the size of the audio file the same as the combined
version?
One both the systems I am using to create/record these
presentations, I am running Windows XP with Office 2003. Also, on
each system, the audio quality level is the same.
Please let me know what you think. I appreciate the help.

Bob,
I would guess that the file size has mostly to do with the
audio file that was used and what it's recording quality setting
was.
In the end does the PPC file size cause any problems? The
audio may be in WAV format which is good quality but large. When
published the audio is converted to MP3 so the file size should
drop.

By default AIX limits maximum file size to 1GB

When writing files larger than 1GB in AIX, I receive a "File too large" error.
This file size limit presents a problem, especially when creating large files,
such as LDIF exports from a Directory Server istance or message store dumps
from a Messaging Server instance.

By default, AIX limits the maximum size of files to 1GB. However, root can
adjust the maximum file size for itself with the following command: 

$ulimit -f arbitrary_large_number
 

The -f modifier
specifies the maximum file size. For example, 

$ulimit -f 4194304

This values for the maximum size of files is set in the
/etc/security/limits
file. The default values in this file are as follows: 

fsize = 2097151 
core = 2097151 
cpu = -1 
data = 262144 
rss = 65536 
stack = 65536 
nofiles = 2000 

To view your local default values, use the following command: 

$ulimit -a

Any user can adjust the maximum file size limit downward. For example, 

$ulimit -f 
2097151 
$ulimit -f 100 
$ulimit -f 
100 
$cp /unix /tmp/MyBigFile #(copy a big file to another location with enough space) 
File too large 
$ls -al /tmp/MyBigFile 
-rwxr--r-- 1 UserID GroupID 51200 Jul 25 08:41 MyBigFile
$

However, only root can adjust the ulimit
file size limits upward. Such changes
will take effect only after the user logs in again.

Additionally, it is possible to set specific user limits with the
chuser command. For
information on chuser,
click the following URL: 

http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/doc_link/en_US/a_doc_lib/cmds/aixcmds1/chuser.htm#A067913d9

For more information on the ulimit
command, check the following URL: 

http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/doc_link/en_US/a_doc_lib/cmds/aixcmds5/ulimit.htm
Note: 
The shell in use may affect the actual limits imposed by ulimit
. In particular,
/usr/csh may not
properly adjust the limit from the default value. Also,
bash (Bourne Again shell)
may treat file sizes in blocks as though they were file sizes in kilobytes(KB).

The size you can handle is not limited... only by your code :-)
Check MemoryMappedFiles... i handle Gigabyte files with no problem ;-)

Does publishing as PDF increase file size? Is there a way to manage this?

I am looking for any ways to reduce file size of presentations. We have to publish as PDF for single file purposes. I know you can change settings in Presenter publishing, but does publishing as PDF have any affect on file size and if so, are there ways to reduce file size?

My Mac has 4 mail accounts coming into it, but you are correct, one of them is a POP account, (and unfortunately it is the main @ account, and is the one associated with my apple id, since we've had it for years). I couldn't figure out how to replace this with the Imap version, short of deleting that account entirely.
Is this what I have to do?
Thanks for your help!

Is there a file size limit for video in Adobe Presenter?

I am uploading video to PowerPoint using Presenter and want to know if there is a limit or best practices for video file size.

If you right click on the file (navigate to it using finder, or if it is in iCloud you should open keynote, File -> Open and you should see a list of your iCloud keynotes) then press command+i, you'll pull up the info tag which will tell you the file size.
Keynote also has an option to Reduce File Size (File -> Reduce Files Size) but I do not recommend it at all because it will severely degrade the quality of your pictures.
It's also possible to reduce an individual image's memory size in your keynote by right clicking it and selecting Reduce Image File Size). This is more time-consuming but allows you to see if the degraded photo quality is still good enough, and you can always undo it.

When I narrate my keynote presentation, why is the file size so huge?

When I narrate my keynote presentation, why is the file size so huge?

Here are the steps so you can see all the files that make up your Keynote…
Go to the Finder and find your Keynote file and make sure that it has the .key extension on it. If it doesn't, click it and command i to view info and uncheck the box that says Hide Extension.
Delete the .key and change to .zip and then click the use .zip in the dialog box that comes up
Double click the new .zip file and it will change it to a folder
Open the folder there are the files
Close the folder and add .key to the end of the name and click Add in the dialog box (this will change it back to a Keynote file)
You might be able to do this and convert the voice narration to a smaller format.

Presenter PPC File Disappears

I am an Adobe Presenter V6.0.432 Build 432 user. On numerous
occasions when I publish my PowerPoint to Presenter it can not find
the .ppc file even though it is in the correct directory. From the
resulting pop-up window I Browse to the .ppc file and Presenter
still can not find it. My only option is to either pick the delete
recordings option, or return to PowerPoint. What is even stranger
is that on some occasions Presenter removes the .ppc file from my
PC. So in summary the .ppc file is present before publication and
after I try to publish Presenter deletes the file.
Has anyone run into this? If so what is the cause for this
strange intermittent behavior?
Thank you.

The PPC is actually deleted from the C drive. All
announcements are gone and all synchronizations are gone. You are
left with a just a PowerPoint file. Sometimes I can recover from a
backup. The core document came to me from another developer in my
company. He used PowerPoint for the slides and Presenter to mock up
the questions. He did not have the narrations recorded at the time,
so there was no audio. He just sent me the PowerPoint file and not
the PPC file.
I then added all the questions and saved and a PPC file was
created. I split the 60 slide presentation into five presentations
by doing Save As and deleting all unneeded slides and questions.
All went well with this and I had 5 presentations uniquely named
with unique ppc files :).
I added my narrations and all went well initially with the
publication process. When I went to make changes to one of the
slide decks, I received the can not find the PPC file, even though
it was on the drive in the proper location. Pointing to the PPC
file did not help. Once I published the file anyhow it deleted the
PPC file from my hard drive. This happened more then once so I am
quite sure that Presenter deleted the PPC file. So far, I have not
experienced this outside of the initial presentation set.
My recovery has been to re-import the audio and
resynchronize, very time consuming. At times the backup PPC and PPT
files will work. If I am doing something procedurally wrong please
let me know. I have run this past others in my company and they did
not believe it was a procedural problem.
Any help in solving the missing PPC file problem is
appreciated. It is odd that sometimes a file will successfully
publish and other times I run into the above problem.

Can the file size be reduced? Large presentations cannot be emailed due to size.

Can the file size be reduced. Many power point presentations cannot be mailed as attachements

Hello,
The size of created PDFs cannot be reduced in the current version. If you are referring to large presentations before converting them to PDFs, you can try accessing them on your iDevice via applications such as DropBox.
Thanks.

Hi Charlotte,
You don't say what your version of Windows you have. Assuming XP, go to Start | Run, type DXDIAG and click OK. Click the Sound tab and run the tests to eliminate a hardware problem first of all. If you don't hear anything, check your cables first of all. Also make sure "Mute" isn't checkmarked in your sound setup. You'll find that in Windows Control Panel.
Which browser do you use? If you have Firefox 4, sign up to the HTML5 trial @ http://www.youtube.com/html5
HTML5 is the latest video standard and doesn't require Flash player. Google is in the process of converting all its files to work with the new format. It may solve you problem. If you don't have Firefox 4, you can get it from here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/
IE8 doesn't support HTML5.
To clean out your temp files, go to Start | Run, type: CLEANMGR and click OK. Click OK again to start the utility. Tick all the boxes except "Compress old files" because the latter takes too long, and then click OK. You can run this utility any time you wish by the way.
The above steps will hopefully fix your problem. If not, post here again please.

How do I find the file size of my presentation in keynote for iPad?

I know this is a simple question, and I have a work around by just emailing the file to me, but I want to know how I can see the file size as I work on the file within keynote.....on the iPad.
Thanks

Select the album, Select all photos in the album, then click on the info button. Number of photos and total size are on top of info pane.

In iphoto, how do i save a photo after editing, in the same or higher file size, it's saves in a lower size

in iphoto, how do i save a photo after editing, in the same or higher file size, it's saves in a lower size

It's rather more complicated that this.
iPhoto is a lossless editor. You don't lose any quality on your shot in iPhoto.
The file size you see reported is the size of your iPhoto Preview: this is what gets used if you access the data via a media browser. It's a "good-enough-for-most-uses" version of the shot. Email it, upload to websites, use it in Presentation, Word processing file etc
If you want to set the quality yourself then Export the photo using the File -> Export command.
You can choose to export to Jpeg, Tiff or png. Tiff is lossless but the file sizes are up to 10 times larger. Jpeg allows you to choose different qualities: High, Medium or low. The difference is the amount of compression involved. High quality means very little compression. It's not unusual for photos exported at this setting to have a larger file size than the original.
Which setting you choose depends on the use you intend. Further editing, printing then high is important. Sending to Facebook? Well low will do just fine there as they're going to trash the file anyway.
But the key point: the file size only becomes an issue when you export.

Reducing Movie File Size

I have a 8 minute video shot in HD that when I export, it comes out to about 1.5 gb (not exact because I'm in the process of exporting it again and I can't get details at this moment). I need to imbed this onto a Keynote presentation for a graduation ceremony and I was wondering if anybody out there could give me a suggestion on what compression would be best to export this to. I'm asking because I usually play around with each compression format to get a good image/manageable file size, but, I'm short on time and don't have a lot of time to try different formats. Sadly, I don't remember what worked in the past. I think I used to export the full .mov file and then convert it using quicktime or something.
I'm hoping that I can get something small in size but in good quality to play on a large auditorium screen. The projector isn't as nice as a movie projector so I can sacrifice some quality but preferably not a lot.

Found a good solution, for those of you that are interested. After exporting to .mov, I just used quicktime to save as a HD 720p movie. Went from 1.9gb to about 310mb. Perfect for the ceremony and great size too.

8.0Gig DVDSP file size. How To Make Smaller?

Just when I keep thinking I'm "finally" done with my project . . . something else comes up. The file size of the project is presently about 8 Gigs. The duplication house I went to suggested NOT having a project of that size, as the media that they would have to use on it would not be as reliable on certain DVD players. They suggested fitting the project to a single 4.7 Gig disk.
Okay so I used compressor to get the following sizes:
Video only track of the film = 2.5 Gigs
Audio track of the film = 741MB
Director Commentary track = 741MB
Video only of Deleted Scene = 173MB
Audio of Deleted Scene = 48 MB
Deleted Scene Commentary = 48MB
The total on all this is about 4.25 Gigs. The problem is that I have to use each video track twice. Once for the commentary and once without the commentary. All and all, and with the necessary menues, etc . . . the project file is at about 8Gigs.
The dupe house said I can use Toast to compress the size of my project, but 1) does anyone know if this compression will constitute a big level of quality loss on the images (it's a DV feature, by the way - not film), and 2) I have Toast Titanium version 6.0. Does this version of Toast even have a compression option?
I would much prefer to be able to minimize the file size in DVDSP itself somehow, rather than doing a blanket compression on the entire disk using Toast (unless some of you know that this would actually work well). Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get my project to squeeze into a 4.7 Gig, single layered DVD? I would imagine that a 70 minute feature with one deleted scene and a couple of director commentaries should be pretty standard fare - if not downright easy . . .
I just don't know how to do it.
Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance for all the help and support,
Javier Calderon

Thanks again, Drew. The audio is aiff. It's at 41 Kh. Is there a specific AC3 format that I should export the audio to? I know/imagine that there are various manners of exporting audio to AC3, so I want to make sure that it's the "right" one, so to speak.
Take a look here on setting up Compressor (not sure which you are running, but general idea)
http://dvdstepbystep.com/qc.php
For AC3 you should set Dialog Normalization to -31 , preprocessing to none and dechecking Copyright Exists and Content is Original also helps prevent glitches and no compression and selections not checked -this description and pictures with the details about 1/2 down page here
http://dvdstepbystep.com/fasttrackover.php
In my first post there are examples of the audio and the .dmg is a project you can download and look at to see how it is done (as for jut about anything in DVD SP there is more than one approach )

Why is audio file size larger than in Flash?

I use both Flash and Captivate. Final file size is a big consideration. I wondered why the file size of the audio in Captivate is almost twice as large as the same audio if it's used in Flash. I'm using the same audio settings for both. Does anyone know what causes the audio compression to be different in Captivate than in Flash?

OK, sounds like memory will be fine, so let's look at some other stuff...
Is it only one particularly keynote presentation that slows up for you, or does keynote behave in the same way even if you start from scratch and create a new presentation?
If it's just the one presentation then there's probably some content (possibly video) within it that KN takes exception to. Sometimes a single problematic slide or piece of content can slow down the whole app.
Is the problematic presentation one that was imported from Powerpoint? If so, import it again and look carefully at the import error/warning logs.
Before you start keynote, start up activity monitor - which will give you an indication of what programs are using all the CPU/memory/disk bandwidth etc. You'll then have an idea of whether it is KN maxing out on CPU or whether anything else is dragging the system down.
Another thing you could try would be to log in to a different user account on your machine (create one if necessary) and then try opening the presentation from within this different account. If this works for you then it suggests a problem with the keynote plist file in your original user account.
I don't know if it'd be acceptable to you, but if you could post a link to your problematic presentation then I could download it and try it out on my normally reliable Keynote on one of my computers. (Make sure that you've ticked the box to embed all media in the presentation)
Hope some of this is helpful,
Mike.

Huge file size after importing

I have a shell (6 slides) used to jump out to windows media
files. I imported only two slides from another project with text
objects only and now the file size jumped from 977k to over 10 Meg.
How on earth is this possible? basically powerpoint slides. NO
video. NO audio.
Plus, when I look at the project size in storyboard view
within Cap, it says the project is 1,234k. But when I look at it in
windows explorer it definitley says 10,333k. Why are the file sizes
inconsistent?
Thoughts, suggestions and good guesses are appreciated!
Thanks!
Jim

Jim,
I've never paid much attention over the years to the
Storyboard view Information panel, so I'm not entirely sure what
that "Size" value is referring to. I just opened one of my existing
projects and see "684.0KB," which is alot closer to the published
SWF size (569KB) than the project's source file (4,172KB).
When you say you see "10,333K" in Explorer, I assume you're
talking about the project source file. Since you said that you
don't have audio or video, then you must have only a short sequence
of slides containing background images imported from PowerPoint.
The dimensions of the PowerPoint presentation (the resolution of
the images) and their color depth will impact the size of the
images when imported into Captivate.
Could it be that the PowerPoint project contained some rather
large images to begin with?
That said, do you know already that Captivate 2 has a very
significant bug that causes the CP file size to grow dramatically
as you import/edit/re-edit your project? You didn't mention how
extensively you may have already edited your project, so I thought
I'd bring that up.
Another thing to consider would be whether your project's
library has lots of unused objects in it -- maybe images that came
in with the PowerPoint project but that you're not really using in
your slides. Cleaning out the library and saving the project will
net you a little savings.
