  Dialogue box on RAM

  Posted by Cow_fan on July 30, 2006 at 4:04 am

  When I was working in after effects, there was this dialogue box that appeared: “After Effects: Out of memory (2097152K requested, 702129K available)”

  Obviously, it meant that I’m out of RAM. But is that dangerous. I have 1G of RAM. If I do more complicated projects, will that mean that I will no longer be able to render them when that box appears again? I’m doing a project and it scares me that when all editing is finished, I might not be able to render it. Thanks.

  you shouldn’t have any problems rendering, but —

  what are your comp settings? sometimes you may not be able to render very large comps (say, 5000 x 4000) – but if you’re working normal pal or ntsc then you should be fine. the best thing to do if you’re worried is do a test render.

  if you find AE is crashing when you render from memory issues; there’s two things you can.

  firstly, render targa sequences (so you can pick off on the render where you took off)

  and secondly, access the secret preferences menu and purge your memory every few frames (do this by pressing SHIFT when accessing preferences, and there’s a last page called Secret)
