Recommended maximum project size?

I'm working on a 7 hour documentary (ProResHQ 720 25p; sRGB tiffs; FCP7; OS 10.5.8). I have 7 sequences, each an hour long. The project is 150MB--is that too big? I'm encountering beach balling in one sequence and am working to isolate what might be causing it, but I just wanted to know if I need to slim the project size down further also?
Cheers

Lots of still images in there? Increase the amount of memory for the stills cache.

IMovie '11 Maximum Project Size

Is there a maximum project size for iMovie '11? I am trying to publish to iTunes for viewing on Apple TV and my total project time is 2:27.

I have never heard of an official maximum, but that is a very large project for iMovie. iMovie is designed for consumer level videos. If you are doing feature length movies, I would recommend Final Cut Pro X.
The reason is that iMovie renders the movie all in one pass. All your footage, titles, music, transitions, etc. gets done all at once.
In Final Cut Pro, it will render individual parts as you go, so you can make a much longer movie.

Maximum project size exceeded

Is there a way to change the maximum project size? I have an index of images on a drive, broken into folders, and I want them all in the same project.

No ... 10,000 is the limit ...
why not store each folder (from your hd) as a project and put those within blue folders ...
this way, clicking on a higher level folder will show all contents of all projects within it ...

IMovie11 maximum project size

Does anyone know what the maximum file size is for an iMovie11 project? I have one that is over 2 hours and I can't publish it to iTunes. I cut it in half and it still didn't work, so I'd like to see if someone can shorten my learning curve and just tell me what time limit it can not exceed.
Thanks

Maximum project size?

I've had a request to produce a video backdrop for a conference and my client has requested a movie size of 5250pixels x 1050pixels, however Motion will only allow me to enter a maximum 4096pixels. Is this the maximum allowed in Motion or a limitation of my hardware? Any advice would be appreciated.

It's a limitation of your graphics card and 4K is the max possible. But the request doesn't make sense - you can project even standard definition to a very large screen - why would they want something so huge?

Final Cut 5 Project Size Limit...?

I have heard that in previous versions of Final Cut (3 or 4)... had a unspoken physical project size limit...? Approx. 14 MB. Can anyone confirm this isn't the case in the new Final Cut 5 Studio?

Sorry... just to re-clarify

Is there a recommended (maximum) size for a catalog?

I'm loading all my photos into PSE9 Organizer on my new MacBook Pro and was wondering if there is a recommended maximum size for a catalog? On my PC I separated my catalogs by year. My 2011 folder contains over 11,000 photos and is 71GB. Is that pushing the limits for efficiency or could I combine years?

One catalog for all of your photos makes sense. Alternatively, as Ken said, catalogs by relatively non-overlapping subject matter areas make sense. I still see no scenario where catalogs by years makes sense, unless you can honestly say that you can remember the years of all of your 68000 photos.
Tags and albums let you organize in ways that are nearly impossible using folders. If your daughter is named Jennifer, for example, and you assign the Jennifer tag to all photos that contain her image, then later when you want to search for pictures of Jennifer, you simply click the tag and boom, there are the photos instantaneously. You don't need to know what folder the photos are in, nor do you need to know what date the photos were taken. If you want photos of Jennifer over the years at Christmas, this is a simple search once you tag the photos, and nearly impossible using folders. The possibilites are endless. You let PSE remember where the photos are, so you don't have to. You let PSE do the searching, instead of you searching the folders.

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.
Cheers... Rick

What is the maximum file size allowed by Yosemite's Archive Utility?

I've seen radically different answers to this question, ranging from ".zip files have a 4GB size limit" to "no limit other than the OS maximum file size". It's been very difficult to find current info on this.
I have lots of large folders full of recording projects --- I'm talking up to 45GB or so --- and I've been experimenting with different methods of zipping them in preparation for cloud backup. Several applications have been willing to zip my enormous folders into archives, but then choke when unzipping them, telling me that the files cannot be unzipped or are corrupted. Using the "Compress" shortcut in the finder has so far yielded the best results, keeping all necessary resource forks, etc., and unzipping properly, even when other apps have insisted the files are corrupted. However, I'm afraid to continue with this procedure until I can get a straight answer on this issue: have I just been lucky so far? IS there an actual size limit?
...It only seems to work when I both zip and unzip with the Archive Utility. Other archiving apps will either render the included projects unreadable by my recording software when zipping (I suspect because of alteration or stripping of resource forks), or will refuse to read the giant .zip archives generated by Archive Utility.
I've set up the Archive Utility to produce .zip files, as I feel these are the most likely to be recognized by a variety of cloud storage services.ny
...Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
The 1,048,576 rows & 16,384 columns is the
workbook size limitation in Excel 2013. Thus, I recommend we try the Mr. Bernie's suggestions to import the large CSV file.
1. Use VBA to read the file line by line and split/examine the import file in sections. If you have further question about the VBA, please post your question to the MSDN forum for Excel
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=exceldev&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc
2. Use Excel 2013 add-ins. Power Pivot and Power Query. For more detailed information, please see the below articles:

G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hey timeline
welcome to the apple boards...
ill give you the easy fix, although i would recommend the proper fix.
first, build your project on any of your drives so you can see your audio and video TS folders.
once you see your build, then click on "Format" and before you click on format (on the lower right hand corner of the Format window, click on the second tab and under "Layer Break" click the drop down box and whatever is NOT greyed out, can be used as a layer break.
the more proper way do it it would require you to do some calculations based on the amount of video in your project and re-encode your video.
hope that helps

The initial heap size must be less than or equal to the maximum heap size.

All,
Please help!!
I have tested my Application Client Project in WSAD on my pc and it works fine.
I have 1gb RAM on my pc. When I deploy the same app on another xp pc(same as mine but 512mb RAM) I get a heap size error. Here is the exact error:

I have changed the value of Xms and Xmx of JVM_ARGS to different size but I sitll get error. Anyone knows what the problem is. Thanks..

Don't know why, but the "maximum heap size: 267380736 bytes" value is just slightly less than 256*1024*1024, wheras the reported initial size is equal to that.
Try setting the initial value to 255MB.

What is an idea of maximum file size for a film in Captivate?

Hi there,
I'm creating an elearning course in Captivate 7, and it is being published as HTML5. This means the films I've imported are being converted to MP4s, and they are around 10-20mb in size once they've converted. They seem very slow to load on some computers - do you think the file size is too big? Or could it be another issue? Does anyone have a recommendation for maximum file size for films? They are 572 x 322px and around 1-2 mins in length.
Thanks in advance

Probably better guidelines that dictates 'size' of a vi are:
typically no more than 1 video screen in size
is it legible
and is it's function and operation clear.
I have seen examples of '1 vi does it all' that were many screens wide and tall, totally a flustercuck, and nearly 1 MB in size.
Globals and local variables (except for LV2 style) are typcially shunned for they can create a host of problems (race conditions, indeterminant data).
Use connector pane to wire controls and indicators to. Then use wires between vi's to transfer data. I tend to use clusters to hold shared data.

What is the maximum file size for CSV that Excel can open ? (Excel 2013 64bit)

Hello,
Before anyone jumps in, I am not talking about the maximum worksheet size of 1048576 rows by 16384 columns.
I have client whom has a 1.5 Gb CSV file, 1.9, 2.6, 5, 17 and 89 Gb file (Huge).
If I open the 1.5 Gb, the file opens (After waiting 5 minutes) and then a warning pops up that only the first 1048576 rows have loaded. That is fair enough.
If I try and open any of the others, Excel comes up to a blank worksheet. No errors. It just seems to ignore the file I tried to open. This happens from within Excel (File - open) or from double clicking the file in explorer.
Excel goes to this blank page almost imeadiatly. It does not even try to open the file.
If I try with Ms Access, I get a size warning and it refuses to load the file. (At least I get a warning)
I would have expected Excel to load at least the first 1048576 rows (If that is what there are in the file), and give an error.
The computer is more than capable (Xeon processors, 16 Gb ram, SSD hard disks top of the line HP Z820 power workstation).
With the 1.5 Gb file loaded to 1048576 rows, it uses 15% ram/pagefile. CPU's hit about 5%.
I have confirmed it is Win 7 64bit, Excel 64bit. I am fairly confident we are over the file size but without an error message, I don't know what to tell my client whom is looking to me for answers.
I have already discussed that the 89gb file in Excel is unreasonable and they are looking at a stat's package but I need an answer on these smaller files.
Anyone got any ides ?

Maximum file size exceeded?

Recently I've bought curve 9300 - so far it looks to be the best phoned I had so far.
But yesterday I finally decided to install desktop software and check some other functions of the phone. And that's when I found a problem. I haven't installed ny media card, but there's some free space showing on the built memory. I've wanted to upload a couple of multimedia files ( .mp3 - using "file" button, I'm not using Itunes, Windows media etc) . I got an info that maximum allowed file size has been exceeded (I'm not sure it's excat phrase as I had to translate it from Polish). What's wrong? I'm pretty darn sure that file I wanted to upload is smaller than free space (mp3 of around 5MB).

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Here is a KB that discusses that error:
KB26221 "File exceeds the maximum file size of the destination or is too large for the system" appears when saving attachment files on the BlackBerry smartphone
Hopefully it contains something useful! While it is written for the 9700, I suspect it applies to your BB as well.
Good luck and let us know!

Maximum File Size on Import?

Hello all, been a ghost reader here but this is my first question (love the forums, btw, super helpful).
I've been editing a feature film on Premiere Pro. We are nearing the end and I received a DPX sequence back from coloring. Upon importing into Premiere (Intermediate Media Timebase set to the appropriate framerate), the importer hangs up. If I click on anything, the program crashes.
Here are my questions:
Is a 2TB DPX sequence a "normal" size for any project? This seems insanely large to me, but this is also my first feature so I could just be ignorant.
If 2TB is normal, is there a maximum file size Premiere can import?If not, should my system be able to handle a 2TB file?
The 2TB file is on an external drive, connected via USB3. Potential to connect via eSATA.
System Specs:
3770k CPU
SSD for OS (256GB)
External Raid 10 - 6TB
32gb RAM
GTX 580 GPU
All help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the reply, Jim.
Just to clarify, a file this size (or sequence of files) is common? But generally the only way to handle them is with a RAID 3 setup?
My next question would be, isn't there a lossless format the color people could give me that isn't 2TB? The file I gave them was just over 800GB so it seems really unnecessary for it to be this large.

Recommended maximum project size?
