After Effects keeps crashing... Out of memory
by Edward Calabig on Jan 3, 2008 at 9:06:45 am

Help! I've been trying to render a composition that's around 10 minutes with various effects such as colorista, Rebel CC vignette, and time remap. Everytime it gets to the time remapped portion, it crashes with an out of memory error. My export settings are a quicktime movie (short on time!), 1440 HDV 24p. Anyone know how I can fix this?

System-
Mac Pro 2.8 quad core
7300 gt
3 gigs ram
FW800 external HD (scratch disk)

Search "secret preferences": hold shift (pc) before selecting memory-cache preferences, in pull down menu click on secret and set purge every 15 frames during make movie. This will clear the rendered frames and hopefully stop your memory errors.

How do I fix this on a mac? Holding shift doesn't work in OSX.

hold down control+alt+shift go to the preferences and select memory & cache once you are there select from the drop down menu, that takes you to the other preferences, the secret menu.

Cheers, I'll try that. Never knew about the secret menu... thought I was using a compositing package, not Mario! :)
