  RAM Preview stopping short of work area

  Posted by Jay Handleson on March 18, 2006 at 8:13 pm

  I have not encountered this problem in 6.5 and can find no help in online help or the manual. This project is being done in 7.0.

  I have my work area set from 0s to 30s. I have 3 still images in the timeline (psd layers) and 1 wav file.

  I cannot get RAM preview to run past 13s.

  I have checked preferences and project settings and cannot seem to get past this.

  Why does my RAM preview always stop short of my work area?

  Thanks,

  JayH

  I think I figured this out. I guess 2GB RAM on a 3.2 P4 is not enough HP for what I’m trying to accomplish in preview mode. I can get wireframe to show me what I’m doing, but come up short on RAM.

  Thanks,

  Your still images may be very large. One of the major RAM-sucking issues is the size of source layers.

  Can you take your images into Photoshop and reduce them there and reimport, or create smaller proxies to use?
