  Out of memory error?

  Posted by Mark Dannunzio on December 9, 2005 at 2:28 pm

  Ok, I just moved some FCP files to a seperate data drive. I now cannot open my sequences in my projects. An error message would pop up and say I am out of memory when it looks like the drive has plenty of memory. Any ideas? Thanks alot.

  What sort of FCP files did you move? Were they media files or something to do with the program itself?

  The out of memory error has nothing to do with drive space – it refers to system memory. Usually this error is caused by a corruption in the sequence or a ‘divide to zero’ type of problem on a filter (which is essentially just a series of mathematical equations). It can be a big problem – usually you need to revert to an earlier version of the sequence from the autosave. You could try trashing preferences…

  Anyone got any other solutions – I’ve been caught by this a few times…
