Project file size increase

I reduced the slides in my project from 1024 x 768 to 800 x
600 and the size of my file almost doubled in size.
Also, I reduced a Project from 264 slides to 22 slides, and
the file size only went from 64MB to 58MB. (The files I removed
were all the screen captures, and I don't use FMR)
What the??
Cheers,
Kerry

Hi Kerry,
Please try to check / do these two things to solve your
second problem. (deleting slides does not reduce CP size)
1. Do you delete the slides from the library?
Once you delete the slides from the project, go to library
and select all unused resources and click "delete". now save and
check your file size.
2. If you perform the first solution and see the problem,
then confirm that Captivate application is closed and then just
rename the file in which you see this problem. After renaming the
file, check the file size.
Do let us know, if it works.

  • Project file size bloat when editing sound media in Audition

    Whenever I clean up a voice-over clip in using Audition, the size of the clip in Captivate remains about the same, but the project file size increases by about the amount of the original clip.
    For example, the size of the original sound clip is 1098.90. The size of the edited clip is 1103.98. The size of the original project file is 5416, but the size of the saved file with the edited clip is 6496.  I'm using Captivate 7 and the latest version of Audition CC. I've cleared my cache and removed any unused media.
    All I am doing to the clip is some noise reduction and EQ tweaking.
    It seems like Captivate is saving both versions of the sound clip.
    UPDATE:
    I've also tried saving the sound file as a .wav from Audition into a folder and then updating the sound clip in Captivate. Same bloat problem.
    I have also copied the slides into a blank project. Again, same file size problem.
    Any ideas?

  • Reducing project file size

    I've got a project that I'm working on. It's 7 tracks of audio and just under 4 minutes long. But the project file size is over 2 gigs! I ran the "Clean Up" option from the project management option under file. That only took it from 2.3 gigs to 2.1.
    Why is it so large and what can I do to reduce the project file size? 2.1 gigs seems way too large for what it is.

    Don't know if you found a solution but I did. Here's what you do:
    im my case I save a lot. Like, I save after every operation. This causes Logic to keep lots of saved audio files in the project that I've overwritten a dozen times already.  I might perform 20 takes of a passage in a song I have.  Logic will keep all 20 takes even though I've deleted the audio file in the editor window.  This causes my 3 min song to bloat out to 2-3GB in size.
    When I'm reasonably sure I like the condition of my song and it's structure I will then do the following:
    Save a new version of the project. Then open "window - project audio". This opens the project audio window.  In this window I select "edit - select unused audio". This highlights all the audio files that have been deleted/overwritten by myself during my recording and editing. I then hit the Delete key. I believe Logic then confirms the delete command and deletes the unused audio. I close the window and save a new copy of the project. Now my file size is a sane number (450mb for example) rather than the 2.5GB it was before. Of course doing this I've eliminated the ability to "undo" any audio editing/deleting but I've already confirmed that fact.
    Hope this helps you out. It helped reduce a 6 min project that was 5.7GB back to a sane number of 890mb. I guess you can say I do a lot of, umm, takes  

  • Project Bloating and Repair in Premiere Pro CS6; Max Project File Size? Adobe Coders Welcome...

    Greetings.
    After a few browsing sessions, I haven't found direction for a specific problem within a project bloat. First and foremost; we're always backed up. I have a restoration copy of the project that I will reference herein. Check that off the list.
    Numerous people have posted here and around Creative Cow with problems regarding an expanding file size using CS6; watching files go from 300mb to 2.8gb. The unfortunate problem is when the project crosses a magical line that results in an inablity to open, import, export, or access sequences contained therein. Has anyone addressed a solution to repairing Premiere CS6 save files? Reducing file bloat? I haven't seen anything (recall the FCP7 repair days... solutions existed because problems were frequent; thankfully not so bad with Adobe).
    Does anyone inside the code size know the maximum project file size that Premiere can read? I created a monster... Over 200 sequences utilizing 4.5TB of footage, stretching from Red codecs to EXCam to MPEG4 and H264. And for some time, the project size was manageable. Then, it inflated. And one day, randomly stopped opening. None of the auto-saves open.
    Just curious. Files aren't the problem, but the 2.8GB save file is. Machine specs // etc. are openly available if required; no bad ram, no problems with all projects (just this one beast).

  • Project file size

    Is there an easy way to determine what your project file size is before you burn to video. I have 1 hour 15 mins of video which should write Ok to a 4.7Gb dvd but adding the audio seems to take the whole project over the dvd file size limit. is this correct? and how do I find out what the total file size is on completionY
    Thanks for any help.

    In iMovie, select your project then click on Share > Export Movie.
    At the end of each row of the varying sizes there is an i - information button.
    Place your cursor over this to see the file size.
    In iDVD, once you have loaded your project, click on Project > Project Info.
    Here you will see the duration and file size and how it fits onto the disc in 'Capacity'.
    I would advise you (in this window) to bump the Encoding up to 'Professional Quality'.
    Best,

  • File sizes increase in StarOffice 8

    I've got a letter I send out about once a month, just changing dates in the contents for each edition. It has a linked .jpg file as background.
    In StarOffice 7 the .sxw file size is 8 Kb.
    In StarOffice 8 the size has leapt to 44 Kb, whether I save it in .sxw or .odt format.
    Why?

    I find that file sizes increase both with text documents and with spreadsheets, sometimes by a great deal. One of the reasons I switched from 5.2 to 7 was the much smaller file sizes, since I keep my weekly back-ups on floppies (and am a stingy sort of fellow generally). But I had to run 7 and 5.2 together, since 7 does not handle Sanskrit/Hindi founts (the SO "help" team just asked a whole lot of questions and then disappeared). So now I have (on Windows) 5.2, 7 and 8. I have still not checked if 8 handles these founts. If it does, I can remove 5.2. For the rest, 8 does not seem to offer any advantage over 7 -- not counting the data base, which I have still to look into. File size, in my view, goes against it.

  • Premiere Pro CS6, large project file size - crashing etc

    Working on a project in Premiere Pro CS6 - also incorporating after effects and using 2 external plugins (Beauty Box and Factory Pro FX).  Project is over 500MB, lots of comps, titles etc.  project seems to be corrupt on my machine. .The project crashes continually. I cannot save my work, I cannot export, I cannot create XML and media is linking incorrectly.  When I pull the project in on my laptop (separate machine) which has CC 2014 running, the project is FINE.  That said - I need to work off of the more powerful machine to do this job - so need to find a way to troubleshoot.  Note - project opens on my partner's machine, she can save + export, etc - however the media in still linking incorrectly on her machine as well (note partner does not have the 2 plugins, beauty box and factory Pro FX) - that said, it still links to the wrong media.
    We have worked out a work-arond where we pull all of the AE sequences out of Premiere and into separate AE project which has made the project workable again but we know something is WRONG and we need to fix for future ASAP.
    please help!
    thank you

  • Why does PDF file size increase each time I "save" tagging tasks?

    Why does PDF file size increase each time I "save" tagging tasks?
    Given:
    1) I'm running Acrobat Pro 11.0.07 (this is most current version)
    2) My file size starts at 750mb and ends up 15mb when finished tagging.
    3) Only certain documents experience this increase, i.e., no visible pattern of document characteristics
    4) PDF's are not full of images...in fact, mostly <H1> <H2> <H3> <P> <Figure> alt text, ect.
    5) Occurs with text PDF's and/or fillable forms (again, does not happen to all documents...only some)
    6) File increase occurs incrementally as tagging tasks are performed; i.e., each new save increases file size a few megabytes.
    7) Occurs whether I "save" or "save as"
    8) Difficult to optimize these files without corruption
    9) I'm running Mac OS 10.9.4 (this is most current version)

    Thank you so much for responding! I've been experimenting with the SAVE AS vs. SAVE for the past few days...and you are correct. It's funny because I've been tagging files for 2 years and never noticed this. Probably b/c I use both methods depending on the tagging tasks...some are more complicated than others and should not be overwritten. In those cases I SAVE AS new file.
    I love this forum...thank you again!

  • File size increases dramatically after digital signature with Acrobat X

    I signed a PDF file using Acrobat X.
    File size of unsigned document: 200 k
    File size of signed document: 3200 k (more than ten times bigger)
    Any idea?
    BR
    Harald

    Finally I found the solution.
    The file size increase is a result of the embedded information used for long-term signature validation.
    If you do not need this feature, you can turn it off:
    Preferences > Security > Advanced Preferences > Creation tab
    disable "Include Signature’s Revocation"

  • Is there a maximum project file size?

    I am currently working on a project and the latest project file version I saved had about 922 KB - Premiere wouldn't want to open that again - it keeps crashing when I try to open it
    Then I opened up a new project - imported just that sequence I was working on and suddenly it works again with a project file size of 238 KB
    I have no idea what the reason for those crashes might be so I was wondering if there is such thing as a maximum project file size premiere can handle?

    Welcome to our community
    There really shouldn't be any load limitations other than those imposed by the Captivate files themselves. My guess is that you plan on using WebHelp, no? And if you are, the Captivate demos will be loaded as needed from the server. So the only lag you will see is the delay for what it takes for the server to serve up the demo itself.
    Hopefully this answers your question. If not, post back and we will take another stab at it.

  • Increase Project File Size limit?

    When I'm recording a longer song with real instruments, occasionally I will be told I can't record because I'm close to the 2gb file size limit. How do you increase the file size limit, or just get rid of it all together?
    Thanks

    I didn't know there was a size limit. I have Projects that are over 2 GB.

  • Project file s increasing a lot in size, why?

    My project file is normally around 1 mb, now suddenly, the same file (no audio included is already 15 mb and growing during using the project. It is getting slower and slower in loading and editing, why is this?

    my almost 2 hour dv import was 2gb where the 2 minute macbook video camera video exported in medium settings came out 1.25GB.
    Your 2 GB, 2 hour "DV" file doesn't sound like a DV file since given the data you supplied, its data rate would only be on the order of 2.22 Mbps. (I.e., Sounds more like an H.264 or MPEG-4 video.) On the other hand, a 1.25 GB, 2 minute file has a data rate on the order of 83.33 Mbps which sounds more like an HD video once it is removed from its MPEG-2 encapsulation.
    How would you recommend I make a 2 minute video using macbook video camera that would end up a sensible size that i could post online?
    Specifics would depend on the actual compression format of this "huge" file about which you complain but have yet to provide any details (i.e., the codec and data rate). As stated above, the file size is a result of compression format limitations (i.e., its relative efficiency) and the actual total data rate used to encode it. My basic strategy, however, would be to convert it to H.264/AAC with a data rate compatible with a specific class of ISP use. For instance, a file with a total data rate target of 1.2 Mbps would come in at about 9 MBs/min. I frequently create tutorials with displays of 960x540 targeted at 1.0-1.1 Mbps for high-speed Internet users. Here is a link to an index page of such files if you want to see the results of these settings.

  • Project File Size Nearly Doubled?

    Hi, I've been exporting video for a good year and a half in Premiere Elements 11 using the following method.
    Publish & Share -> Computer -> MPEG -> Presets HD 720p 30
    My file size has normally been quite reasonable every time I exported a video.
    However, today after a good 3-4month Hiatus from making videos, I created another video (very similar to my previous made ones) and tried to export it.  I realized that the file size is about double that of all of my other videos around the same length.
    I also went back to an old saved project that I did and it's also showing a doubled file size (2g now), despite the previous file that was exported from this project saying 1.3gb.
    I don't recall editing anything to the bitrate at all either so I am quite confused as to what is going on.
    Can anyone help me? 
    Much thanks in advance,
    Shou

    Hi A.T. Romano,
    Yes, I am looking at an older project to see if it was just the new video I was using in my newer project that was increasing the size.  It seems this is not the case.
    a. I'm not sure where to locate the bitrate of all of the video on the time line.  If you are talking about the original video and not the edited versions, the properties state that the bit rate for each video is about 17200kbps.  I do have photos as well as video on the timeline.
    Frame Size: 1920x1080
    Frame Rate: 29.97
    File Size: 2.1gb
    b. No I am not customizing the preset at all.
    c. File Size: 2043.39    Duration: 17Min 49sec
    d. I am finding the export dialog and the newly exported file are one in the same.  Initially I was reading the exported file size by looking at the properties of the file.
    Sure thing!
    And thank you for your help!
    Shou

  • Why is image file size increasing when changed to CMYK?

    When converting the colour of a Jpeg to CMYK in Photoshop CS5 the file size is increasing.
    The original image is 352KB and after saving as CMYK it is 2.1MB
    Why is this happening and how can I stop it?
    I'm using a lot of images for a print project so need to keep file sizes small with resolution of 300dpi. The image dimensions are really small, only about 30mm high so they shouldn't be this large a file size
    I am using a clipping path but this doesn't seem to be effecting file size (I checked by saving it as RGB with a clipping path which stayed small, and by saving one without a clipping path in CMYK which was huge)
    Thanks

    Two things may be happening: 
    1)      you may be making the file pixel dimensions (width and height) larger due to the 300 dpi requirement.
    2)      CMYK files, with 4 colors per pixel, are expected to be larger than JPG files, which are 3 colors per pixel and the data is compressed in a way that throws away information.
    You will not get CMYK files anywhere near as small as JPG files, as you are finding.   If there are compression options available when you save the file, perhaps those can make the files smaller.
    What pixel dimensions is the original JPG and what pixel dimensions are the CYMK files?
