CS5 creating ENORMOUS files
Last week, my station switched us over to CS5 from CS3 (finally). And things have gone RELATIVELY smoothly (though the lack of support for 32bit plugins is a real problem for us). But one thing that’s becoming a huge concern is that some of the files that were originally done in CS3 have exploded to about 10x their original size. In some cases, they crash due to RAM and hard drive caching overload. While some files do this, other files stay pretty much the same. Usually it’s the larger projects that blimp up, too.
Anyone else notice this, and is there any way to eliviate the problem?

Is this a Premiere (not AE) issue? (I know this is a Premiere forum – I am just checking to be sure.)
What are your systems specs? (Make/model, CPUs, RAM size, OS version, storage.)
Pr and Ae CS5 do need more RAM than their CS3 counterparts and if your system is low on RAM, they may start running very slow.
Please elaborate on those exploding file sizes – which files are getting bigger – project, cache, media? Is it easily repeatable – e.g. can you create a project with 1-2 clips and repeat the file size expansion every time you do that?

Make sure you have the most recent updates. This sounds very similar to a problem that Adobe has tracked down and fixed as far as I know…

Yes, make sure you are one 5.0.3. Fixed a whole lot of issues.
