  After Effects keeps using up all Ram even when ideal

  Posted by Charbel Koussaifi on September 19, 2013 at 5:44 pm

  I’ve been using Ae for the past 5 months with no issues.
  All of a sudden, I keep getting “Unable to allocate memory…” error even on basic compositions.
  The annoying thing is that, when I open up task manager to preview my memory usage ,Aftereffects.exe keeps increasing like a time bomb until it uses up all my memory even when AE is ideal.

  I used to be able to handle complex compositions ,now i cant even handle a simple text layer without using up all of my memory.

  Ive tried everything – disabling multiprocessing ,resetting preferences, using 8 bpc,purging… but nothing seems to fix it .

  system stats = 8gb ram, windows 7, i7, Nvidia GTX660m
  The same problem is being experienced by this user :

  The After Effects CC (12.2) update fixes a common cause of such memory allocation errors:

  Let us know how it works for you after you’ve installed the update.
