  Low Memory warning while working in Premiere Pro 2.0

  Posted by Butch Vz on May 11, 2006 at 11:31 pm

  I’m working on a project and I keep getting “low memory” warnings telling me to save the project and “proceed with caution”. I’ve been editing on this project for a few weeks and this only began within the last few days after we re-recorded a voiceover track and began editing it to fit the 30-minute video.
  Now it’s gotten to the point that even closing and re-booting doesn’t buy me time before this problem pops up and is now causing the program to crash.

  HELP!!!

  Not much system info here to go on, but a couple of things you may try. Close all of the task bar items on the bottom of screen right side down icons. Also it may help to resize your paging file in system control panel. Typically windows will manage this, but you can make it equal to 2x times the amount of system RAM fairly safely (make min and max equal). Also CS2 preferences lets you manage the amount of RAM that is allocated to PhotoShop/and other applications, along with where you want temp directories. Check under preferences, and toggle through. Part of what you will be doing here is managing system resources. With a little caution, and help from other forum users, you should be able to get around your problem.

  You didn’t give much info about your project but, generally speaking, your situation shouldn’t be as bad as you describe. PPro has a serious memory management issue but unless your project is huge you should be able to get around it most of the time.

  First, reduce or eliminate subtimelines within subtimelines. Just go one level deep.

  Second, if using large graphics, work with smaller proxy files.

  Third, PPro 2 will use 3 GB of ram. Adding ram helps.

  Fourth, consider splitting up your project, if possible.

  Fifth, let Adobe know about it! They should have provided a better fix in 2.0 and chose to concentrate on other things. We should not have to wait 18 months for them to fix a problem which should have never been in the software in the first place.
