Too Big Project Size?

How big is too big for projects? What are your average project sizes?
Having very sticky and sluggish movement in current project and noticed it was over 40MB. Didn't seem so huge at first but then I noticed most other projects I have are under and around 10. Is the project just too big? Nothing extraordinary or strange about the project. The sluggishness is primarily when scrubbing through primary cut/sequence. Only a 2 min sequence. If Premiere can't handle two minute sequence how are they cutting features with it?
Anyone else have this problem or notice anything like this with larger projects?

I was referring the preview file format. Currently, we're editing with ProRes LT Quicktimes and setting the preview file format to reflect that (attached). However, the MPEG I-Frame seems to be the default in Premiere. Is that more stable?
However, is there a better format/codec for Premiere? We always cut in ProRes on FCP 7, but I'm not opposed to something different (we run on Mac).
Also, I removed all warp stabilizers from my project and it significantly decreased project size. Unfortunately, the project is still sluggish. Feeling there is some type of corruption.
Thanks Mark!

Binary file is too big in size

Hi,
I wrote a simple VI to do playback of sound files and to record signals. It seems to do what I want (although I appreciate general feedback on good programming habits). The bigger issue I have is that the binary file it is saving is way too big in size. A few seconds of recording gives a few megabytes of data. Although I can open the binary file in matlab and analyze the data just fine, the big file size doesn't sound right.
Does anyone know why this is the case? I tried saving the data in something other than doubles, but it still gives large file sizes. Played around with the byte order too without much success. Any help is appreciated (LV 2009 file attached).
Thanks.

If your DAQ unit is 16 bit or less, simply store data as I16. you store data as DBL and that is 8 bytes pr number. It is no problem making wav files in I16 format. However wav files (in Labview at least) is not a compressed. So the file size will be much bigger than MP3 files that is a compressed file format.
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

Too big of size?

Ok so I made a movie on iMovie HD (no not the new iLife 08'). So my g4 desktop was where it was created which has no internet. So I thought "put it on my g4 laptop which has internet and burn a cd and put it on youtube". So I did just that, but when I checked the file size of the movie, which is only 4 minutes and 58 seconds, it was 22.59 GB. YES BIG NUMBER. So i thought if a 2 hour movie is 14.95 GB or so, how is a 5 minute movie that big and how do I put it on my laptop? SOS!!

Your iMovie file reflects all the original footage, not your final product. You can export to Quicktime to create a file with just your final footage, but save yourself some trouble and do a search on YouTube in this forum to get the correct sequence (you may now be able to export from iMovie to the H.264 codec and reduce the height/width all in one step for YouTube). If you do this on your G4, it may reduce the file size so it fits on a flash drive for your laptop.

File size too big with project manager

I’m working on a single video file with a size of 46,44 GB (Apple XDCAM HD422 1080i50 (50 MBit/s CBR), 1920 × 1080 (1888 × 1062), 16,7 Mill.).
Clips from this file are copied to three seperate sequences (One rough cut and two final cuts).
When I try to backup the project the resulting project size is nearly as large as the original project size (FCP7 trims it to approx. 2GB)
Premiere creates five mxf file with sizes between 1 and 18GB each.
How can I lower these sizes and use this feature like e.x in Final Cut Pro the Media Manager which stores only the needed cutouts and Footage for archiving purpose?
These are my settings. The addition or removal of handles does not make any difference.

I'm having the same issue with .mxf files directly imported from a Sony F5 camera. Wanting to do the same thing and the resulting "trimmed" project is 40gb for a 1 minute film. I checked the new trimmed project folder and it looks like Premiere Pro CC 2014 isn't trimming the clips to the length they are used in the sequence.
Not sure where to go from here.

The size of my exported FCP movie is too big for DVD studio pro

Hey,
I have been editing for 4-5 years now and have never had a problem with size of a project to put into DVD Studio Pro to burn. However, I just finished a 2 hour project in which exported as a FCP movie it is 23.97 gb in size. When i put this into DVD Studio Pro it makes it 4.8gb in size which just makes it too big for it to burn. I have tried changing the compression to no avail and just now decided to clean up the timeline so everything is on one track with nothing overlapping. (The problem was it was a 2 camera shoot so the first camera i had on the bottom track constant with the second camera on the top track when i needed it but still with the first camera underneath.) Do you think this could be the solution to my problem? If you guys could help me out it would be most appreciated!

some things don't make sense here. please clarify.
Standard DV is roughly 5 minutes per gig, so that means that you have just about 2 hours of video, ok, got that. Now it's the two track thing that gets me.
Are you saying you have 4 hours of footage, the same thing from two cameras, and you're trying to set up a multi-angle DVD?
If it's just that you used two video tracks to edit, then NO, it is not your problem. It's still only 2 hours, the video will be mixed down to one track upon export from FCP to quicktime.
My suggestion is, instead of bringing a quicktime file directly into DVDSP, use compressor. I believe they have a preset in compressor 2 for a standard 120 minute DVD. IF you're project is truly less than 120 minutes, than that should be fine. If not, then you may have to manually make your own setting and lower the bitrate.
So the workflow is:
-open sequence in fcp
-file>export>quicktime movie... (you can uncheck "make movie self-contained" if you want it to export faster and you plan on keeping your original capture footage around)
-export your movie to a directory of your choice with a name of your choice.
-open compressor (in applications)
-drag the quicktime file you created into compressors main window, this will set it up. Now specify the export setting (120 minute HQ all files either 16x9 or 4x3 dep. on project) and specify a location for the files to be created. I strongly suggest that you use the HQ (High quality) settings in compressor. It's much slower to process, but much better quality.
-with a 2 hour movie it should take a really REALLY long time to compress, so I'de say do it over night.
-when compressor is done, you should have 2 or three files. a .m2v file a .aif file, and a .ac3 file. The .aif is your PCM audio, much better quality than the .ac3, which is dolby 2 channel. However, the .ac3 is a much smaller file with a lower bit rate, so if the .aif makes the DVD file size too big, you can switch it out for the .ac3
-Finally, open up your DVDSP project, drag the .m2v, .aif, and .ac3 into DVDSP and use the .m2v for the video track and either the .aif or .ac3 as the audio (as mentioned above)
-the good news is, your DVD media is already rendered, so when you go to build your DVD it will go much, much faster!
By the way, I recommend you go to file>advanced>build do not do a burn and build.
I find it best to build the VIDEO_TS folder on a hard drive and then use a program like toast to create a DVD (using toasts from VIDEO_TS option). This method also allows you to go back into DVDSP, make tweaks, and reuse your VIDEO_TS folder, not having to rebuild the whole thing each time.
Remember, 120 minutes on a single layer DVD is going to render fairly low quality no matter what.
If you have a newer mac and a dual layer drive, you may want to cough up a few bucks and get a dual layer DVD-R, then you have over 8 gigs of space to work with, perfect for HQ 2 hour footage.

15 minute, 400 meg project too big for one DVD?

I have a 15 minute video in widescreen format that is about 400 megabytes in size according to the project info.
When attempting to burn, I am told that the project size is too big for a DVD and suggests I use a dual layer DVD.
I have over 390 gig available on my 1 TB hard drive.
I have no chapter markers
I have reduced the intro clip(s) to less than 30 seconds.
All to no avail. I am now burning the dvd using Toast, which is perfectly happy using 400 megabytes of my DVD to burn the disk.
What assets could iDVD possibly be adding to use up the remaining 4 gig of disk space, and how might I view them and delete them?
I know this is an old topic...I've read lots of posts including one similar to mine. In most cases people are attempting to burn over 1 hour of video. In the one case similar to mine, the person had full length video in each chapter marker (or some such issue). I have none.
In my case it is a 15 minute video (granted its in HD/widescreen format). Why, with a project size well under the disc size, does it refuse to burn due to size limits? Clearly the project info does not reflect iDVD's actual size requirements for the project.
Why not?
Finally, changing to 4x3 is not an option and yes, I have tried changing the compression algorithm from best performance to higher quality, though this is supposedly for video longer than 60 minutes.

Hi
Free space only referes to Start-up (boot) hard disk. iDVD can't use any other for scratch files.
25Gb is my minimum setting.
15 minutes video - to much indicates that it might have been droped it into iDVD window
but here landed it into a "button area" - not movie area.
Recommendation in case of this is to move it out (or start a new iDVD project)
and in iDVD use the Import function instead. Now it lands where it should.
And dep on Your encoding choise the movie can be up to 60 or 120 minutes long
(menu included => simple menu = more movie)
Other alternative is feeding iDVD strange video formats that can give many
interesting problems eg .wmv, .avi, .mpeg4 etc.

Saving animated gif error - canvas size too big?

Hi,
i have been asked to create an animated gif which has a snow effect in the background. The animation runs pretty well using the pattern style to move the animated snow down. The problem is when I try to export the animation the save for web dialogue window freezes and I can't quit photoshop. I have tried to make the canvas (image size) smaller and it works.
Is there a memory problem with creating animations in Photoshop if the document size is too big, im running a 3000x1000px at 72dpi
TThe animation would be used on a web app, which a script could probably do a better job, but I need to try this first.
thanks
lister

Something is very wrong here. The point behind using GIFs is that they are small and OK to put on a Web site.
First thing: forget all about PPI - this has absolutely no relevance to Web/screen images; it is only used for printing. You need to think about the pixel size.
So, how big in pixels are your starting images?
How big do you want the resulting GIF to be? Again, you have to decide in pixels, as the viewing size will depend upon screen resolution of the person looking at it. You can use a notional PPI of 70-100 to guess how big it will be in inches, but that's all it is - a guess.
Is this getting you going in the right direction?
I cannot resist commenting that I hate almost all animated GIFs as they reduce Web site usability so much.

How do you make fonts back to default size in Firefox 24? They are blown way too big.

Since upgrading to Firefox 22 and 24, the font size has been extremely huge. The only way to make it smaller is ctrl - , but when I go to other sites the fonts are normal size.
I want to be able to get the default size font on the Firefox 24. I've been using Chrome because this has been so darned annoying, it's even causing Bing to screw up.
Can someone help me get this fixed?

This isn't the best way for it.
Coz my monitor isn't really big.(21.5')
It is very match for me by using 125%.
But for FF22(or above) is too big, and the photo will zoom in for 125%
that was a mess.
And Chrome has the function but it isn't default but adjust from "chrome://flags"

How do you change the size of display in Firefox, I get Hotmail too small and Flikr too big

I get the font size too small on Hotmail when viewing through Firefox. The screen size and font size is too big when viewing Flickr through Firefox. I am sure it is a simple question of adjusting zoom and I have seen it change while I am online. I just can't work out what I did to change it.

Making a interactive PDF from indesign, but it's too big. Tried to reduce file size in Acrobat, but

Making a interactive PDF from indesign, but it's too big. Tried to reduce file size in Acrobat, but it does not reduce file size.

Use the Optimize PDF command in Acrobat, it gives you more control. I think it's under the Advanced menu in Acrobat 9 Pro and File > Save As > Optimized PDF in Acrobat X Pro.
You might try playing around with different settings. You can also click the Audit Space button at the upper right to see if its from images or other things causing the file size problem.
Unfortunately, InDesign doesn't write interactivity in a very optimized way. You get better results with buttons, for example, creating them in Acrobat Pro and using the Duplicate command to duplicate them across multiple pages.

I need to compress an InDesign file to web-quality pdf but file size is still too big. Help!

I need to compress an InDesign file to web-quality pdf but file size is still too big. Help!

Hi Bill,
It sounds like your document has a lot of pages and/or images in it.
Instead of using the normal InDesign > Export command to create a PDF, you may be able to reduce the file size by printing to a PostScript file, then distilling it to PDF using Acrobat Distiller.

HP 8750 Paper-Size Problem where it keeps telling me the paper is too big (it's set up for 11x17)

I've got an HP 8750 printer running with a Windows 7 Ultimate machine, and I've got a paper-size problem where it keeps telling me the paper is too big. It's set up for 11 x 17.
The actual wording on the printer is:
Paper installed is larger than needed. Press cancel to replace with correct size, if you wish to save paper, or press check mark to continue.
When you press the check mark it feeds the paper, but for a multi page-document I have to press the check mark for each page to feed.
How do I get it to print 11 x 17 paper without having to press the check mark for each page?

You Tube Player Size Too Big in Firefox by default

I recently experienced that the You Tube player automatically became large.
The standard size for YouTube videos seems to have changed from their old standard into the size that used to be halfway between normal and fullscreen.
That is WAY too big, and it's actually disgusting to look at with 360p and below videos. The vast majority of videos look like crap when they're stretched out.
There is a new button, "centered player," where the old "large player" button used to be. Clicking on it will center my enormous window, then that button displays "default player," which brings me back to this large, uncentered player.
This is happening with Firefox, with IE working fine.
Although I am technically incompetent I tried a few suggestions:
Remove all cookies
Hit Ctrl+Shift+K and insert the code below in console:
document.cookie="VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE=; path=/; domain=.youtube.com";window.location.reload();
However, I am getting the following messages:
Use of getAttributeNodeNS() is deprecated. Use getAttributeNS() instead. util-service.jsm:590
Use of getPreventDefault() is deprecated. Use defaultPrevented instead.
And it is not working, back to same Large Player….
Hopefully Mozilla can do something to fix this.
Thanks!

Scans are too big Can I re-size a scan?

I scan a lot of contracts and I just bought my photosmart 7525 today. I scanned a contract but it would not email to my account. i'm thinking that it was too big for my email account. The size was only 9.25 mb but it still seemed like a lot because the contract was only 24 pages of written word. No photos! Is there a way to re-size my scans? If I scanned the same document from the office, it would only be about 1 mb.
Thanks!

Hello baseballrob3,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand you are looking to have the Photosmart 7525 scan an image / several pages of images and have them save in a smaller size.
What is the Operating System installed on the computer you are scanning with, Windows or Mac?
I was looking into the scanning options, (using similar software to this printer on Windows 8.1) and found a couple ways to lower the file size. If you do not need to scan in color, choose Black and white. Lowering the DPI / PPI will hugely impact the saved file size.
Let me know if you are able to find those options within your scanning software, and if it was helpful.

Imported pictures are HUGE. Way too big. How do I reduce JPEG size?

JPEG size imports WAY TOO BIG. How do I reduce JPEG size? Thanks so much@!!

Set your camera to take lower quality pictures is the obvious answer here. You can reduce the size of image already in iPhoto when exporting them.
