Question

Captivate 6 and Audition CS6

I have a weird issue that I have never seen before. I am working on a Captivate project that was about 59mb when it was given to me. I noticed the audio was a different volume on all slides. I selected all of the audio files for the Captivate project and edited them with Audition CS6. I applied a batch favorite to make all audio files have the same decibel range. Saved all then went back to  Captivate. When I saved the Captivate project  I noticed that my original Captivate file went from 59mb to over 350mb. I can not figure out how to get it back down to around 59mb. All I did was edit the audio decibel then saved from Audition.

I have test this with a new blank project as well. I record some audio then edit in Audition and the file size increase drastically. I have even taken a project and compared file sizes in the library from before and after editing and they are about the same size. There are no duplicates or anything else in the librabry that indicates a massive file size increase.

Where is all of this extra file size data coming from?

Hi,

Can you tell us what was the original size of the audio for each slide (by exporting it) and then export the audio after making the changes in Volume , compare the changes?

Can you also, try publishing the project before and after and see if there is change in size of published output?

Can you share one such sample on tcssup@adobe.com

Thanks,

Anjaneai

Below are some screen shots of the file size before and after. It is like Capitvate is no longer compressing the file upon saving like it usually does.

Sorry, maybe I miss something, but when I look at the filesizes of the audio clips, I do not see that much differences between the two screenshots? Maybe the original files are still in the Library, did you try the option to select unused items in the Library?
