  Premiere Pro CC Project File Size

  Posted by Matt Galuszewski on June 21, 2013 at 8:18 am

  Just an observation

  I had a small project that I started in Premiere Pro 5.5 and it was about 13MB in size.

  When I opened this project up in Premiere Pro 6 it stated off the same size but grew to about 17MB due to some additional work I performed in the project.

  Now when I open the same project in Premiere Pro CC it ends up being about 723KB in size after saving. It opens with everything intact.

  I did say it was small but now it’s disk footprint is even smaller.

  Anybody else noticed this?

  I noticed this. My project (from CS6) went from 510MB to 114MB. It was after I did a “save as.”
  Seems like two things happened:

  1. The interface got faster. This might be confirmation bias though.
  2. It crashed a few times in the space of an hour but now seems to have stabilised. Not sure if related.

  This thing really is fast. Changing window layouts takes less than a second. No perceptible lag playing back h264. CS6 played h264 fine but I could tell when it was a long-GOP codec in the timeline, now I can’t.

  Ya Matt I noticed that too.

  I had a cs 6 project I opened in CC, saved it and
  went from 20mb to 400k.

  Seems like Adobe fixed some of the bloat with the
  project files.
