File size a massive increase in Captivate 2

I just finished reviewing a manifestation of the old.

1. the old film, worm 1.01.1418 (42 slides), is 36, 900ko.
2. the new film, ver 2.0.0 (57 slides), is 338, 638 KB.

Both have audio, notes, text captions, and highlights.

The only big change is that we use the new captioning function.

Someone else has met and solved this problem?

I don't think that I can break it in enough segments without making end users lose interest and I think I have to Snag Screenprints and recreate in Adobe Presenter.

Captivate support found the answer to my problem and it is in the LIBRARY of the current file.

With the .cp file opens and the LIBRARY pane visible, look at the toolbar of LIBRARY.

1. Select the tool SELECT the UNUSED ELEMENTS.
2. THE ITEMS will be highlighted in blue.
3. Select the REMOVE tool.
4. prior to the economy, overview of the project (F4) to ensure nothing necessary has been deleted (just a small step paranoia)
5. close and exit to check file size reduction.

Reader Digest Version: prior to publication, to delete unused items.

Note: If you try this and it solves your problems, send praise to Bruce Chizen, CEO of Adobe.

We strongly believe in for Training Solutions Adobe products (presenter, Connect, Captivate, Robohelp and soon CS3) and encourage us to use throughout our society. When I expressed my frustration of not being able to contact support in due course on this issue, Mr. Chizen came through.

  • Huge Captivate files sizes

    I have been using Captivate to push an audio recording of a presentation in the presentation slides. The audio is in the form of a large mp3 file. When adding audio, I selects the option to split on several issues and align all the slides in the right part of the audio. If I need to change the time drag or audio (which often happens because captivate seems to be rather buggy when split the single audio track into one for each slide) the Captivate project file as a result of the rockets in the size of the file. I think it's because he keeps a copy of all audio used in Captivate, IE a copy of old and new together, mp3 stream before and after editing.

    If this happens a few times the file size increases accordingly and for a presentation of 50 min, I'm looking at 1.3 GB project files. These are clearly pushing my (powerful dual core, 2 GB of RAM) funds up to the limit. I tried to remove all the elements of the portion of the library, but this makes no difference to the size of the projects.

    To illustrate the problem to my friend, I have EVERYTHING deleted from the library, has added 1 new blank slide and deleted all other slides. This project had the air is like a brand new white. When recording (such as a new cp file) the project was infact 1.16 GB in size. Huh?

    Is it possible to delete the files of projects other than the library captivate?

    Yes, I am using captivate 3.0, which is where I met the problem. I tried the technique ' save, save under ", which slightly increased the size of the file. The technique of the 'new presentation, copy paste' worked for me - 1.3 GB-> 0.3 GB.

    Just open 2 instances of captivate, enjoying a nice big project at fault and the other open a new blank project. Then copy and paste all the slides of an inot the other. You may need to remove the first blank slide that was already in the empty project. Then save the new project and smiling like crazy in file size!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones how can I increase the maximum file size allowed on the media?

    Whenever I have record video using the video camera, after a very short time it will stop recording and gives a message 'maximum size of the file reaches. I've adjusted the settings to save in 'Normal' mode, but while recording appears in last a short time, the result file size is way too big to be able to easily send to contacts. When you use the MMS mode the recording time is much too short. Is it possible to increase the maximum allowed size of the file so that a resulting video would be about 3-4 MB or less?

    You can download any software video conversion on the net. just try this one "Freestudio".

  • Adobe Captivate file size

    I have a two part question. I work with Adobe Captivate for the first time, so I am of course a lot of rookie, errors, and now I'm stuck.

    I have a project that is 122 229 KB, and when publishing to LMS, is 63 900 KB. I made sure all the graphics are as small as possible, but it still takes a long time to load when you access through the LMS. My first question is, what is the size of ideal file for the publication of LMS? If necessary, I may have to divide my presentation in several modules so that they are more easily, but I'm curious to know if there is an easier way to address the issue before it split.

    My second part of the question: is there a way to tell Captivate to begin play the webinar when it loads? When I tested, it took about 2 minutes to load the file that in the world of technology online, it's an eternity. I hope there's a way to tell him to start playing the video during the rest of the presentation the loading in the background.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Kristen

    Hello Kristen,

    Welcome to the forums. For your last question: you can reduce the Preloader % in Preferences, project, start & end. Its default value is 100%, which means that the entire project is loaded before playing. Also: avoid having a heavy slide first, no audio action, not complicated, etc..

    There is no ideal real file size, because it depends on many factors. Keep the resolution as low as possible, I mean the size in pixels. You talk about graphics: what type of graphics do you use. If you're on the CP9, he agrees to SVG which, in most cases, have smaller file than bitmap images. But it's not only the graphics that define the size of the file: as the number of slides, images, audio and video clips.

  • What is the size range expected for a Captivate 8 .swf file?

    I'm working on a project where our .swf around 30 MB files, which seemed reasonable compared to those that I produced for a previous customer, working also in 8 Captivate. However, the LMS say it's too much, because a 1-2 MB Flash files are considered as large.

    A typical course is 40 slides, linked to a PowerPoint presentation. By compressing the images in the .pptx to 96 DPI and Captivate editing to low quality, I reduced the file size to 15 MB.

    These file formats are great for Captivate?

    15MB is very reasonable! I worked with much larger files. I think that your LMS people is a bit 'dated '? Especially if you have audio files, 1-2MB is almost impossible. They probably think of small animations, not interactive courses.

  • TIFF LZW file size increased?

    I'd like this handled by my expert colleagues of imagery. Created a very large TIFF of a painting that I photographed. The final tiff file without any compression was 645 MB (16-bit Prophoto RGB file). When I saved the same file for my client, this time adding compression LZW tiff file, everything the same, it's around 850 MB.

    I do this on a Mac, the latest versions of Yosemite and Photoshop CC 2015.

    I never noticed that by selecting compression LZW would increase the size of the file. Then... I'm deliver the file to my client without compression, because the file opens faster this way (and it's smaller!).

    Anyone has an idea why LZW would increase the size of the tiff file?

    Scott,

    I think you can refer to link below for compression LZW in Photoshop.

    Re: Recording TIFF with LZW compression results in larger file size.

  • to stop the increase in file size

    Acroform file size was about 125kb. One day dy the increase in file size. How can I stop it. The file size is now 550kb.

    In addition, I tried to reduce the size of the file with the optimizer, but nothing happens. There's still 550kb. How can I reduce the size of the file also?

    I'm confused that this tpics could not in there.

    Do you save or "save under"? There is a difference, as mentioned previously.

  • File size has increased by 500%?

    Hi all:

    Asked me to add some vectors composition of a photo image. I therefore took the photo in image 5 MB and add about 2 lines of text and created the contours of them.

    When I registered and went to e-mail it to the cutomer the file size is now 92MB?

    What I did to make this size? All I can tell you is that I changed RGB to CMYK, you think maybe he did?

    Thanks for any help or advice on this subject,

    Paul

    If I understand correctly:

    You have opened a RGB. 5 MB JPEG image in Illustrator. Converted to CMYK document mode, added text and saved a file I.

    The increase in size is normal.

    A possible workaround solution. Open the AI. Click on the image in the links Panel. Link back to the original RGB JPEG. Save money, click PDF compatible file and make sure include linked files is turned off. Now send AI, JPEG or both.

  • Captivate 3 - everyone figured out how to reduce to a CP project file size?

    Greetings,

    I think that this question has been asked before, but I was unable to find a solution to the problem and I was wondering if someone else (a solution).

    Some people called this phenomena "file bloat".

    I'm using Captivate 3. In the process of adding and deleting slides the .cp file gets quite large. I tried to do the thing of "save under...". ». I also tried the unused resources removal (graphics, backgrounds, etc) and save the file again. Nothing seems to work.

    I tried to import a project into an empty project (the application seems to work, but nothing happens). I tried export in XML format and the file will not import (corrupted).

    If someone managed to find an answer on how to remove unused slides/resources of a Captivate project "inflated". Apart from rebuild the project file from scratch is there a solution?

    Thank you

    TPK

    Hello

    The only way I've ever seen a reduction in file size Captivate 3 was by performing the following steps:

    1. Open a second instance of Captivate.
    2. Create a new empty project of same size as the other instance.
    3. Switching between instances, copy slides of the bloated and paste into the fresh.
    4. Save a new and the file size is reduced.
    5. Throw away the old one.

    Note that you will probably need to restore links that you had.

    Just a note special here on one of the things that you have tried. You said that you exported in XML format. I don't think that you can export as XML and then import XML into a new project. I think that the XML export works very similarly to the export of Microsoft Word. Only the exported project he will be able to properly re - import. If I understand correctly, the XML export is designed to Captivate developers who need to locate (translate) their projects.

  • VI suddenly increased file size

    I got a main vi file size of about 160 KB for several days now. All of a sudden today after (maybe after slightly changing my sub-VI-not sure about that), the size of the master file of the vi has suddenly turned up 18MB! Why is this happen and how do I get that back to normal (if normal is fine)

    In general, this happens if you set a value of contol to have a default value that contains a lot of data.  If you have a table control and set to have a default value that has been a very large painting, for example, LabVIEW to store everything that data within the VI.

    Another possibility is including images on the flowchart Panel or front.

  • Increase the huge file size.

    So I've recently updated for first Pro CC 2015.3. I was doing a video which is 40 seconds long. The only thing in the video is the text and music. I exported using the same setting that I used in first Pro CC 2015. With first Pro CC 2015 the size of the file is usually around 200 MB. With first Pro CC 2015.3, the file size was 4.7 GB. I was wondering if there is anyway to make it back to what it was before. Thank you!

    File size is determined by length, bitrate, and only two things.

    If you want a smaller file, you'll need a shorter program, or a lower rate.

  • MASSIVE... PDF extraction of pages remain same file size

    Hi all.. I tried this but I can't find the answer, I need, hope that there can help!

    We have a PDF we provided by a customer that was created in a program of open source Page layout... Its 100 pages and weighs a muscular 1.15 GB. Its pretty complex nestled in places, consisting of text, images and graphics.

    As it is, his putting to death of taxation and 3 rips software we tried to put it well.

    We thought we could extract the pages as single files, or split the document down into manageable portions, but when we do that the files remain at a constant 1.15 GB even as simple pages.

    Why is this? and how can we stop?

    Because it's a PDF provided, we don't really want to go down the road of file size reduction as this may compromise the quality of the pictures (its bad enough for now!).

    Or would you say that we should be able to maintain the quality of the current image while sorting complex illustrations, transparency, and the issue of size?

    Cheers in advance!

    Tom

    Thank you... Pre-series flattening of transparency in the optimizer sorted! He fell up to half, and then extracting Page gave me single page PDF files into single page PDF formats!

  • SWF file size increases considerably when animated

    I'm trying to apply a simple animation to a project in Flash 8. The project consists of a single piece of work, any vector, which boasts a very simple animation to walk across the stage in moving horizontally.

    When the Flash file is NOT animated, and I publish the SWF file, it is about 10K. However, when I create a single image key and tween, so that the work will be going on the stage, the resulting SWF file is about 300K. I do not understand how to add a single keyframe would be the large output SWF.

    Later, I tried an experiment and turned the vector illustrations in a PNG file. When I hosted this, I don't have the problem of inflation of file size. I think that this work of vector would almost always smaller than bitmap images files.

    Someone has an idea of what I'm doing wrong here? I think that such a simple animation would add only a small amount of information on the SWF output.

  • Hi, my places.sqlite file size is 30 720 KB I reached the maximum size, is there a maximum size for this. Visited links are is more changing color.

    Hello
    My places.sqlite file size is 30 720 KB I reached the maximum size, is there a maximum size for this.
    Suddenly the visited links don't change is no longer the font color, that I prepare for an exam, I need visited issues to change color, to follow up on issues that I ended. But if I delete a few days of history, then again once, most visited links change color and then it stops, it seems that something is getting full and not able to accommodate more? Why my visited links don't change color after a number of visits? I would like to make a back up of the file places.sqlite. So I tried everything to remove the profile, uninstalling reinstalling, creating a new profile, and then copy paste places.sqlite etc, but as mentioned after a few visits, visited links is no longer change color, if I delete a few days in history and then a few visits is again change color and then stop again, so what should I increase so that my quota of visited links is increased , I also tried tweaking about: config and there has been no result. Although I was not really convinced that _pages growing brower.history_max (don't remember the name, but I'm sure you get the idea) will help.
    Seems that while my visited links change color, quota is met and only if I delete the history of a few days will I get some links most visited to change color. Can someone enlighten us? As mentioned that my places.sqlite file size is 30 720 KB so I think maybe this has something to do with it? Would be very grateful if someone could help me. Thank you.

    Sorry it is not looking good.

    1. Unlike bookmarks history is not saved in Firefox.
    2. There is a possibility using Windows.
    3. Sync is not expected to back up things until the synchronization server
    4. If places.sqlite does not sort itself you may have to re-create remove it. You will lose your history, but can still access indirectly IF you have saved a copy of the appropriate
    5. Different databases to try to create new profiles
    1. History
      is rather less robust than bookmarks, you should deliberately somehow return it upward, but it's too late now
    2. Earlier versions of Windows
      This is really the last chance. Make sure you have some places.sqlite you saved. Always before and after any attempt to restore the backup. Windows must be able to provide a previous version. One of these versions may be usable as is; or can be used after a repair with housekeeping. Of course, this is not the latest version but it should help.
    3. Sync is not a server backup service.
      Sync is intended to save on another device, no backup is the fact that the second device then contains synchronized information. IIRC Sync development ceased, and the replacement when available may include a server backup option.
    4. Recreate the database of bookmarks (including history)
      Unfortunately, recess can only use saved bookmarks, there is no saved history to use. Once the database is re-created, it will continue to store the history but it loses the existing history. This time take steps to save on a regular basis.
    5. Use the new profiles for database testing.

    To simplify comparison of the results of the database different files create one or more new additional profiles. Then try to smash the places.sqlite file into the test profile with any other places.sqlite, you want to try. Allows you to directly compare the databases, without seeking to use sync and without changing the Firefox profile work unnecessarily. You can keep a reference profile of studies with the best of the profiles of any shows results of history; According to the best recreated or corrupted database is.
    • Use the Profile Manager to create and delete profiles Firefox
    • CARE, do not rename or delete profiles created once or use anything other than empty folders when they are created. Don't nest in the other profiles. (At least until you know exactly how it behaves - post back if you never consider such actions)
