"out of memory" "image buffer" errors when rendering
by chris Cummings on Mar 20, 2008 at 5:15:33 pm

Hi All,

I have a dual 2.5 PowerMac with 4.5GB of RAM, and it seems every time I try to render out of AE (CS3) I get errors - either "out of memory" or "could not create image buffer". I've never had any problems rendering out of C4D or Motion. From research online, it seems this happens to others on occasion, but I was just e-mailing with Eran Stern who found this very strange as he's working on a less powerful G5 with 2GB of ram and hasn't ever had any problems.

I researched this online and this was the best article I found so far:

Even with these settings applied, I couldn't get a 5 second HD animation (Eran's Digit Man tutorial) out until I accessed the "secret menu" and disabled the layer cache, limiting it to 100 frames. I rendered this out as a TIFF sequence.

However, I have a bunch of greenscreen compositing with a narrator and long takes that I need to start very soon and I'm concerned about the issue above.

Am I missing something?? Thanks for any help or advice!
~Chris
