Premiere CS6 Save Files Ballooning in Size

Opened up a verison of a CS6 project I have been working on for a while, changed absolutely nothing after opening it, and did a  "save as." The save-as project goes from the original 75mb to over 1gb - after touching nothing in the project! What's going on with this?
It actually happened on a previous project too, except I did a normal save and it ballooned in size, and I had to go back to a previous auto-save, losing some work I had done so I had a manageble project to work with (saving/opening takes forever on the big projects).
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Ok, very strange development - left the project to export some things overnight, project still at 3+ GB at the time. This morning, exports complete, I cringe as I hit save, prepared to wait 20minutes. But it saves super quick, and project is now 80MB. Totally unexpected, but I'll take it!
No idea why - I didn't add or delete anything since last night's edit, all I did was export a queue from AME6. I also turned auto-save off overnight - could that have anything to do with it?

  • InDesign CS6 saves file, but crashes when I try to open this file

    Hi,
    I am having a huge problem with Indesign since yesterday. It worked fine before.
    I use Adobe Creative Suite CS6.
    Since yesterday, I have problems with files that I just saved. I can open older files (from before yesterday), but I cannot open any file that I saved recently. Indesign crashes every time I open the file (the file is visible, but right before all the palettes are loaded, Indesign closes down).
    I already saved several files (under different file names) since yesterday, the problem stays the same.
    I already uninstalled and re-installed CS6, it didn't solve the problem.
    This is quite a nightmare. I am thankful for every effort to help!
    All other programs in the Creative Suite work fine!

    It is puzzling indeed. And quite a desaster for me, since I have a deadline to meet.
    No changes, no new installations (not known, maybe updates in the background??).
    InDesign started crashing in the middle of the workprocess. Since then the problem persists.
    When I open an old file and start working on it, InDesign also crashes after a while during the workprocess.
    So I can't work, I can't save files ... booo!
    This happened with an update of a document that I work on all the time, a monthly magazine.
    Maybe it is a Windows problem, although it is strange that all other programs work fine. (I use Windows XP)

  • Cs6 Save file for Printer company

    Question on AI master Parent file, or art brought into another AI file to send to printer?
    I've created a flyer (2.83x11)  that I can now add 3 to an 8.5x11 sheet to get 3 flyers per sheet.  When I save the master flyer (the 2.83x11) I've flattened my text to outlines  at 1200 dpi then Rasterized my art to 400 DPi and then saved the file. OK
    I then open a new art board 8.625 x 11.13 (for bleed) as I am printing to the edge (border less) I then place my Flyer 3 times  across  my artboard and when I go to save this to send to Printer here in-lies my question(s)
    1. When I save a new artboard with a linked Parent file will that linked info save to the file so that when my (Commercial  Printer) opens that AI file. Do I need to bring the linked Parent file with it too on my USB stick? Or will that artboard save all outlines and rasterized art on that 8.65x11 artboard?
    Bringing me to a second question
    2. When I go to save that new flyer artboard of 8.5x11. I am asked or warned of 72 dpi rasterization of the newly placed flyer which should be saved and then placed at the 1200 and 400 dpi's as mentioned above. Yet I think I should go Effect>Rasterization> High or Other (fill in DPI)
    Here is the question if I save that placed Parent, or linked file and then rasterize, choosing 1200 as is the text from the first saved file, it errors and tells me not large enough to rasterize that 1200 dpi.  IF I rasterize to say 400 dpi does this NOW affect that sharp text I saved in the linked Parent file of 1200?   In other words how do you save that file as it is saved in the master or parent Flyer when placing on an artboard for a commercial printer?

    I'm going to take a stab at answering some if not all of your questions...
    Question on AI master Parent file, or art brought into another AI file to send to printer?
    -OK, so far.
    I've created a flyer (2.83x11)  that I can now add 3 to an 8.5x11 sheet to get 3 flyers per sheet.  When I save the master flyer (the 2.83x11) I've flattened my text to outlines  at 1200 dpi then Rasterized my art to 400 DPi and then saved the file. OK
    - Not OK.  As already mentioned, there is absolutely no reason to rasterize.  Instead, create a file, the 2 x 11 size ( if you want, but not necessary ) and then copy and paste that onto an 8.5x11 and add bleed there.  Leave everything live.
    I then open a new art board 8.625 x 11.13 (for bleed) as I am printing to the edge (border less) I then place my Flyer 3 times  across  my artboard and when I go to save this to send to Printer here in-lies my question(s)
    1. When I save a new artboard with a linked Parent file will that linked info save to the file so that when my (Commercial  Printer) opens that AI file. Do I need to bring the linked Parent file with it too on my USB stick? Or will that artboard save all outlines and rasterized art on that 8.65x11 artboard?
    - If there are bitmapped images that are not embedded, then you'd have to forward those onto the printer. Otherwise, the new artboard will have its own raster resolution setting which, in your case, should be set to High Res ( 300ppi ).

    - The final resolution is what you set your "Exported" raster file to.  But, as previously mentioned, all of this additional effort is for naught.  Your approach is setting up for prepress disaster(s).  Who gave you these file prep parameters?

    - Doesn't matter what version you use.  Doesn't make any difference.  I recommend you get Adobe's Print Publishing Guide.  It explains a lot of the information and procedures you will need to know before you proceed any further.  Not sure why you did the project the way you did?  Explain further.

  • CS6 Save for Web image size limit (Retina)

    I have been designing for a lot of mobile sites these days, in particular: iphone retina display (640w).  Most of the time these designs can be long in the tooth with the height of these documents - exceeding 8000 pixels at times.  I noticed that 8000 pixels is the threshold limit for the "save for web" export.  Anything greater than 8000 pixels will be downgraded in quality on retina devices by scaling the image.  The jpg will still be the correct height and width, but when viewed on an iphone, you can easily see the degradation.   Images and text are blurry.  This is no bueno when trying to show a client what their site will look like on an iphone.
    So my question is, is there a work around?  A preference to be changed?  Am I missing something to get the full quality of my design comp in order to preserve retina display quality?

    Justin, what about your screenshot that I'm posting here:
    You posted that as an example of SFW downsizing to 78% to make its output be no taller than 8192 px, resulting in a width of 500 px. The iPhone will scale a 500 px wide image to make it fit the screen's 640 px width.
    And my CS6 SFW set to progressive JPEG (or anything else) refuses to allow a dimension to be greater than 8192 px. Here's the message when I try to make it larger:
    Likewise, the scale percentage cannot be made greater than the value which produces a dimension of 8192 px.
    Anyway, I'm glad you found a solution.

  • Photoshop CS6 saves file that is just opened

    When someone opens a file on our server just to look at the image and then closes it without making any edits and does not save, the file has a new modification date and act like it was saved. How can I keep this from happening?

    Unless you actually save the file in Photoshop -- Photoshop is not writing or modifying the file in any way.
    You may have third party utilities that modify the file (I think Suitcase had a bug like that), or it may be something in the OS or server software.

  • Premiere PRO save project error if CC is runing.

    I have a problem with my Premiere Pro which wont save or auto-save if Creative Cloud application is running.
    I do save directly in a folder which CC is syncin to cloud. I have same setup at home and at office, sicne I can work from either locations (I have cloned files and using same letters for video drive = V: on both computers). This worked ok until recently, when Creative Cloud started preventing Premiere to save file. If I quit CC, Premiere saves ok. Than after I run CC again, it will sync new files normaly. What it wont do is saving into cloud-synced folder if CC is running.
    The error I get in Premiere is
    An unknown error accured while saving the project.
    Select "save as" from the File menu to save the project to a new lovation.
    If I use Save As it works directly to CC. Just "overwrite" save does not work.
    More funny is the fact, that after I Save As the project under another name in same folder, saving not only works with newly saved project, but also with original "broken" project (for few times, than refuse again and again demand using "save as").
    Quite sometimes few autosaved files in "Auto-Save" folder does not sync either (error dialog, "can't sync"). Solution is that those not-synced files are moved out from folder to (let say) desktop, let CC to be synced, than I copy files back. At this time CC syncs theese files too (and do not even upload them, they just get green arrow after a few seconds).
    MY system consisting of 6-core Intel SB-E, 16GB ram, all SSD drives, English Windows 7.
    Any ideas?
    Many thanks.

    EDIT: I have F-secure antivirus on both system. I suspect maybe there is some write permission problem.

    And if you are working on two macs, when working from the other mac save that file to your local hard drive, then creative cloud will automatically save that file to creative cloud... when you switch mac you will have the updated file in creative cloud! Open the file and when you have finished, save as to your local hard drive, and creative cloud will then again automatically save it to creative cloud! I think the easiest way to look at the cloud is seeing it as a back up so every file you save to your hard drive will be automatically backed up to creative cloud.

  • Adobe Premiere CS6 'Create new Trimmed Project' Crash with .MXF files

    Yesterday I started to back up all our students work, and found that the "Create New Trimmed Project" no longer works in CS6 with .MFX files.
    Adobe Premiere CS6.0.3,  crashes when I try to "Create New Trimmed Project" under "Project Manager"
    This only happens when there are .MXF files in the Sequence.
    As we use Panasonic P2 cameras at this university, this is a problem, as this is the format that they shoot in.
    As a test I have made a Project with only one .MXF file placed on the sequence, and it crashes.
    This happens on my Macs and Windows machines with Adobe Premiere CS6 .
    Adobe Premiere CS5.5 works fine, and does not crash.
    Unfortunately I cant save a CS6 project as a CS5.5
    If you don't have any .MXF files to test this,
    You can make your own .MXF files by exporting any video file as "MXF OP1a" or "P2 Movie" Format, (the Preset setting is irrelevant - any preset will cause it)
    P.S.
    Using "Collect files and Copy to new Location" under "Project Manager" works fine, but does not reduce project size as much.

    I also discovered this behavior last summer.  Unfortunately the best (lame) answer I could find was that "Some formats, such as Long GOP based media files, cannot trim media, or add handles."  Source:  http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS1c9bc5c2e465a58a91cf0b1038518aef7-7c72a .html
    That's not very specific, but in my case at least (and it sounds like in your case, too) .MXF may be another file type that cannot be trimmed.  If I remember correctly, the answers I got from others was that they were able to export fine.  My machine (and maybe yours) has an issue that nobody else seems to have encountered.  So none of the prescribed remedies allowed me to move forward in this regard.
    After much searching, asking and several suggestions from various Premiere communities, I gave up and moved on. 
    Use Remove Unused and then Collect Files and Copy to New Location.  At least that can help you if you have a lot of clips.  In my case, it didn't help much, because my very short clips were edited from very long takes, so as Premiere sees it, not much was "unused".
    Be aware that "Project Manager does not copy and collect After Effects compositions that are dynamically linked to an Adobe Premiere Pro project. Project Manager does save the Dynamic Link clip in the trimmed project as an offline clip, however."
    Wish I could offer you more.

  • Photoshop CS6 - Batch function will not save files

    OK, I have used the "Automate/Batch" function well over a hundred times, so this situation (first time using it in CS6) is VERY frustrating!
    Running Adobe CS6 extended v. 13.0.1 x32 on a Win XP sp3 OS.
    I have a slew of photos that need nothing done except to resize from the native file size to 6 in x 4 in @ 150 ppi and save into a new folder (to not override the original).  I have recorded the action multiple times now and each time I run the action, the files do not save! Here are the various parameters I've used:

    Please help!  This has never been a problem before CS6 and I truly am at my wits end trying to figure out why the files will not save.  I have several hundred files that I need to run this on, so doing it individually is not an option.
    Thanks in advance for any and all insights!

    I'm having a problem with Automating > Batch as well. Strange enough, I did a batch of other photos and it worked fine. Selecting a new set of folders is not working at all; the files simply pop open and then close but the destination folder remains empty. It also doesn't appear the actions are occuring since I don't see them highlighting as the automation runs. I have no idea why it would work then not. BTW, "Override Action "Save As" is unchecked.
    ~CG
    UPDATE: I put a "save as" command at the beginning of the action, then checked the "Override Action "Save As" box and it somehow works now, but not before stalling on an image (normally the last in the folder) and complaining that the image was being used in another program. The only other program opened was Bridge so I'm unsure why it had a problem. I closed both programs and ran the automation with nothing else opened and it worked ... ?? Confused, but not complaining (for now).

  • When I save a CS6 InDesign file as an .idml file InDesign crashes and sends a report to Adobe.

    When I save a CS6 InDesign file as an .idml file InDesign crashes and sends a report to Adobe.
    When I restart InDesign the .idml file is in the directory as well as a locked InDesign file.
    I cannot open the .idml file, instead I get the message:
    Cannot open "" file. Adobe InDesign maynot support the file format,
    a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing,
    or the file may be open in another location.
    I can however open an InDesign .idml file that was saved from InDesign CC software.
    InDesign CC software is also unable to open the .idml file that I created in CS6.

    It seems to be a corrupted IDML file. Does it happen with every file or only with that one.
    What is the content of that file? Did you embed images or graphics or did you ink them? Size?
    Maybe that this would help you: Re: InDesign 6 is crashing when attempting to open a particular document. All others are opening OK.

  • Photoshop CS6.1 Cannot save file as .tif-program insists on .pdf

    On Mac Pro using OS X attempt to save completed file as .tif.  Photoshop insists on saving it as a .pdf.  None of the format shown in "Format" field link up with actual extension.

    Hi. I have used the PS CS6 trial and an Epson v500 scanner to scan a 6 by 4 image at 6400 dpi using File => Import => From image device. The file was saved as a pdf and opened automatically in CS6. I was satisfied with the image and wanted to save it as a something other than a pdf since pdf is not really a widely accepted image format for archiving. The image size came out to ~ 6 GB. I went to Save As and the only options I see from the save as format drop down box were PSD, TIFF, and PS Raw. I tried Tiff, but it told me it cant save files past 4 GB. IM not interested in the other 2 formats it allowed me to save as. Any ideas? Why cant I save as a JPEG or BMP when something ahs been scanned as a PDF?
    As for plugins, I downloaded the official PS CS6 Mac plugins and placed them in the appropriate plugins folder.
    Are there file size limitations with respect to saving a copy when you have opened a file as a pdf?
    Its not that there is anything wrong with the pdf format, its just that I cannot use the scanner plugin for importing an image from PS6 to save as a Tiff or JPEG under 6400 dpi and 48 bpp settings (this problem was discussed ina nother thread).
    Any ideas?

  • AME rendered files are bigger than in Premiere CS6

    Hi!
    I have a big project - 6 hours prepared for rendering in 4 sequences (each sequence is about 1h 30 minutes - 1h 45 minutes) I try to export them with H.264 - Blu ray default settings. Estimated file size for each sequence is about 17 - 20 GB, but when I export them into AME I got files 52 - 55 GB ! When I export same sequences one by one directly from Premiere CS6 I got 17 - 20 GB files. What's wrong with AME? Same input, same settings but files are more than duble sized?!
    Thx!

    Here are the screenshots of all export settings related to one of these projects. As you can see estimated file size is 16321 MB and when I click on "export", rendering is about 15% faster and file is about 17 GB. But when I click on "queue" rendering is slower and files are about 52 GB

  • Premiere CS6 ignores preview files

    I've just moved over from FCP to Premiere and I'm having some teething problems.
    I have created an XDCAM HD 1080p timeline, made my film and graded it.  I have then applied "Render Entire Workflow" so that I can watch the sequence without any dropped frames.  The preview render files are saved in my documents folder on my machine.  But after saving and reopening the project, I have to re-render the whole sequence again.
    It's as if Pr can't find the preview files.  The scratch disk is pointed to the right place and the files haven't been deleted. 
    Ha anyone got ideas on what's happening?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Update:  After adding some audio to 5secs of the film, the whole film needs rendering again.

    No I set the Preview files to my documents.  The footage is stored on an Space server.  Oringinally I had the preview files to follow the project, I had the same problem, so switched to keeping it locally.
    The disk location for the Media cache is local(library/application support/adobe/common) but in a different place to the preview files.  "save media cache files next to oringinals when possible" is unchecked.  I'm not sure if any of this will have  an effect?
