CS5 file size growing huge
Working in CS5. Program file was approx 200 MB. Problems saving, froze.Had to force close. Slow to open – file size had grown to
4.8GB! Reverted to earlier version (still 200 MB), re-did work, it
grew to 1.7 GB. Tried another earlier version, to check file paths and settings, did no work – it grew to 3.7GB. Any ideas?
Was working on titles – overlapping rolling titles, when trouble started – connected? I think CS5 saves titles to the program file.
Have an HP with 17(930) and 12GB of RAM.
Thanks for any help.

It seems to be connected with sequence renders. Dump all the renders from the sequence menu. Or import old project into a new one and make sure to delete render files. That should get u back on your feet while the adobe team get the fix sorted. 😉

Hi,
do you have mp3?
i remarked, when i have mp3, PPro5 imported them
and after that the folder of the mp3 was
much bigger than before.
Example: i had a folder with 50 mp3 and after
conforming audio the folder was something like 2 or 3 GByte!
(I don´t remimber exact, i am at home and not in office)
But it was really extreme.
A workaround: import songs as wav, not as mp3. then the folder
stays smallGreating from Cologne

Hi:
Thanks all for your responses. I’ll try dumping the renders.
Hurry up Adobe.

Whew, I’m glad it’s a bug. I just had this issue happen last night where my project went from 49mb to 8GB! I hit save and went to bed and saw the 8gb premiere project this morning.
Hope fix comes out soon because I cant re-import the old – rebuilding my folder structure would take me hours and hours
I got the 8gb file back to 47mb by going to my scratch disks and deleting all previews. Upon opening the project premiere crashed, saved a recovery version and then that recovery version was back to 47mb and worked correctly.

Similar issue… huge client, we have many many hours of HD footage with numerous high-res gfx etc. Working on project for months with no issues, yesterday it froze during a SAVE; lost an hour of work no biggie. Went to re-open and it says the file is corrupt. Went to open a Recovery in the Auto-Save (I auto-save every 5 min, 20 versions) and the Auto-Save Folder is over 70 gigs big!!!! Each back-up file is 3-4 gigs in size and takes 20+ minutes to load project; once project is loaded I get the Mac Spinning Wheel of Death when I try to click anywhere in the project window and it will not re-save to a new location without freezing (24 gigs of ram). My only solution thus far is to take 20 minutes to open a recovery file, and COPY everything in my sequence and PASTE it into a New Project, New Sequence, in a completely New Location. Only allowing me to copy 1 sequence at a time but I’ve recovered a small amount of my work.

Clint, have you installed the recent updates?
The “project bloating” bug was fixed in an update to Premiere Pro CS5.
Make sure that you have the most recent updates installed.
