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.

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?

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?

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.

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

How to find whether the output file is generated or not?

Hi,
I ran EDI 855 program for one of our customer. The program succesfully completed and it shows in the logfile that few documents got processed and few lines got processed. But the output file in the outbound directory shows the file size as zero.
Can anyone please let me know what could be the problem.
And please let me know how to check whether flatfile is generated succesfully for the request run for any customer.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Venkat,
As every one have already explained other points,in standard SAP there is no provision to determine as if the sales order is intercompany or not.
But if you want you can create a user status as normal sales order and intercompany sales order.So by checking the status at table level or in order you can determine if it is Intercompany or normal sales order.
Best way is to create a different document type itself which will be exclusively used for intercompany orders.So it will be easy for reporting and tracking purpose.
Reward points if useful

Why is the output file jerky ?

Hi there,
I have AE CS5 on my Mac. My system is 27" iMac core i5 with 12 GB RAM DDR3 1333 MHz with quad core.
I rendered a 40 seconds clip with an earth spinning.
I output it to mov format in 1920 x 1080.
When I did a RAM preview, it was fine & the earth was spinning smoothly.
But the output file (in mov) - (I did thru Composition > Make movie) when I play using QuickTime player is jerky at 20th Sec to 29th sec.
I then import this mov file into Final Cut, it look stuck in the Viewer but was perfect on the Canvas.
When I render in Final Cut, the output file as mov and use the same Quick Time player to play it & it is perfect.
Can I know what is the reason that it is not working in Quick Time the first time when it was fresh out from AE ?
Thank you.
Cheers

The default render settings use Quicktime Animation codec at best quality. These files will not playback smoothly because the data rate is too high for the hard drives to keep up with. The animation codec is a lossless codec designed not designed for playback.
Final Cut uses compressed codecs designed for playback as the default. I'd suggest that you open up the help files (F1) and read the entire section on Rendering and Exporting (link).

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.

Why the output file is so big?

Dear All,
         I am trying to write some data to the binary file. But the output file is very big. When I write 1M*4kB ,the file will more than 20MB. I don't know why.
        This is my vi, Please help me to find the fault,OK? Thank you very much.
        Thanks.

It is NOT the same vi!!! You need to familiarize yourself with dataflow, LabVIEW does NOT execute left to right, any part can execute if all inputs have data.
In your particular case, the "file info" will execute at the same time you are building the file path. In addition, you are measuring the size of the stripped path and not of the new file. Try execution highlighting!
To fix your code:
You need to get the "file info" from the path AFTER you add the new filename.
Use the error cluster to enforce proper execution order as in my example. WIre the error out of "close" to the error in of "File info". Now the "File info" must wait until all inputs have data, which can only happen after "close" has completed.
All clear?

Hi Srinath,
Thanks for your reply. It worked fine with 8.63 version.
Is there any other way to get it worked with out installing ghostscript.exe as the client doesnt want to instal any exe file on the server as it has broader impact on other instances also, can we acheive the conversion by copying the extracted zip files of ghostscript-8.63.tar.gz .....
We tried with extracted zip files by following the below settings

Why the different file sizes?

Can anyone tell me why some songs are in the 20-30MB range, and most are only 3 or 4MB range? And more importantly, is there any way to shrink down the big ones? They make the CDs I burn very short indeed.

The file size of your imported songs will depend on your import settings in iTunes. An individual file size of 20-30mb sounds like you are importing in WAV or Apple Lossless. mp3 or AAC will have the same file size when using the same bitrate. For example, the average 4 minute song imported in AAC @ 128 kbps will have a file size of 3-4mb.

Anybody know how to increase the plugin file size limit in Photoshop CS6 to greater than 250 mb?

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to increase the plugin file size limit in Photoshop CS6 to greater than 250 mb and how to do it? Can plugins running in PSCC handle larger file sizes than CS6?

Wow, thanks for getting back to me!!
I am running the latest version of HDR Soft Photomatix Tone Mapping Plug-In - Version 2.2 in Photoshop CS6 on a fully loaded solid state MacBook Air. When I attempt to process files exceeding 250 mb with the plugin I get an error message and the plugin will not work. The plugin works fine with anything south of 250 mb. I have also optimized the performance settings in CS6 for large file sizes.
The standalone version of HRD Soft’s Photomatix Pro easily processes files well in excess of 300 mb.
I have contacted Photomatix support and they say that 250megs is simply the max file size that Photoshop will allow to run a plugin with.
So is there any setting that I’m overlooking in Photoshop CS6 that will allow me to process these large files with the plugin? Or if there is indeed a file size limit for plugin processing in CS6 is the limit higher in CC?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Where is the image file size???

Where is the image file size in LR3? I can't see it anywhere neither in the Library module, nor in the Develop module.

As far as I know Lightroom does not display the file size. Keep in mind that LR never makes changes to the Original files that you import.
When you export a file with LR edits the file size generated will depend on the edits applied and the size and quality settings you choose in the export dialog.

How can I auto export a PDF File using the "Smallest File Size" preset and set the Exported File Name based on information from an Imported PDF?

Greetings all,
I am trying to create a script to automate a PDF export process for my company for inDesign. I’m fairly new to inDesign itself and have no previous experience with javascript, although I did take C++ in high school and have found it helpful in putting this code together.
We have an inDesign template file and then use the Multi-page PDF importer script to import PDF files. We then have to export two version of each file that we import, then delete the imported file and all of the pages to reset the template. This has to be done for nearly 1000 pdf files each month and is quite tedious. I’m working on automating the process as much as possible. I’ve managed to piece together code that will cleanup the file much quicker and am now trying to automate the PDF exports themselves.
The files are sent to us as “TRUGLY#####_Client” and need to be exported as “POP#####_Client_Date-Range_North/South.pdf”
For example, TRUGLY12345_Client needs to be exported as POP12345_Client_Mar01-Mar31_North and POP12345_Client_Mar01-Mar31_South.
There are two templates built into the template file for the north and south file that are toggled easily via layer visibility switches. I need to get a code that can ideally read the #s from the imported Trugly file as well as the Client and input those into variables to use when exporting. The date range is found in the same place in the top right of each pdf file. I am not sure if this can be read somehow or if it will have to be input manually. I can put North or South into the file name based on which template layer is visible.
I am not sure how to go about doing this. I did find the following code for exporting to PDF with preset but it requires me to select a preset and then type the full file name. How can I set it to automatically use the “Smallest File Size” preset without prompting me to choose and then automatically input some or preferably all of the file name automatically? (If the entire filename is possible then I don’t even want a prompt to appear so it will be fully automated!)
PDF Export Code (Originally from here: Simple PDF Export with Preset selection | IndiSnip [InDesign® Snippets]):
var myPresets = app.pdfExportPresets.everyItem().name;
myPresets.unshift("- Select Preset -");
var myWin = new Window('dialog', 'PDF Export Presets');
myWin.orientation = 'row';
with(myWin){
    myWin.sText = add('statictext', undefined, 'Select PDF Export preset:');
    myWin.myPDFExport = add('dropdownlist',undefined,undefined,{items:myPresets});
    myWin.myPDFExport.selection = 0;
    myWin.btnOK = add('button', undefined, 'OK');
myWin.center();
var myWindow = myWin.show();
if(myWindow == true && myWin.myPDFExport.selection.index != 0){
    var myPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.item(String(myWin.myPDFExport.selection));
    myFile = File(File.saveDialog("Save file with preset: " + myPreset.name,"PDF files: *.pdf"));
    if(myFile != null){
        app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, myFile, false, myPreset);
    }else{
        alert("No File selected");
}else{
    alert("No PDF Preset selected");
So far my code does the following:
1) Runs the Multi-Page PDF Import Script
2) Runs PDF Export Script Above
3) Toggles the Template
4) Runs #2 Again
5) Deletes the imported PDF and all pages and toggles template again.
It’s close and much better than the original process which was almost 100% manual but I’d like to remove the Preset prompt from the PDF script and have it automatically select the “Smallest File Size” preset. and then if there’s a way to have it auto-fill in the file name so no user input is required at all other than selecting each file to import. (If there’s a way to setup a batch action for the multi-import script that would be even better!)
Thanks in advance and if there’s anything else I can provide that would help please let me know! Even a nudge in the right direction will be a big help!

If you hold down the option key, it will typically show the location. Or you can often hit option-return on the file and it will reveal the file in the Finder, instead of opening it.
Final option is to open it, and just option-click the filename in the toolbar of Preview and it should show you the location.
It's probably an attachment to an email you've received. If you have Mail set to cache emails and their attachments it'll be stashed in a subdirectory of ~/Library/Mail. Which is fine.
