AE Effects Error?
‘AE Effects Error: Out of memory rendering “Title Crawl” ‘
This is the message I get repeatedly after trying to export my movie onto the hard drive. My hard drive still has 40GB, so I know I’m able to export a Quicktime movie file there. Any suggestions? -

Are you in FCP or AE? If AE, you apparently don’t have enough RAM. How much RAM does your system have, and what other apps are open?

I’m in FCP4. I only have FCP opened at the time. The sequence I’m exporting is a revised version. The previous version exported without a problem. I’ve also copied it onto a New Project and exported it from there. Still the same. I just don’t know what I did wrong.

‘Out of Memory’ refers to system memory, although it seems to be caused by corrupted sequences or projects in FCP. Previously, people have found reverting to a previous save of a project can get around this. I personally find this happens most often with text elements of any type.

Thanks Ben, I’m now trying to export in small sections of sequence just to check which part got corrupted. Thanks for the help.

Did you delete any plug-ins recently. BCC comes to mind. Try trashing the Boris prefs.

Update on AE Effects Error problem.
I’m working in FCP4.
The previous version of this movie sequence exported successfully onto the hard drive a few days before. I went back and did some tweeking and perfected a second cut. Ever since, I’ve been trying to export this new version onto my hard drive with repeated failure.
(AE Effects Error: Out of memory rendering “Title Crawl”)I have 40+GB in my external hard drive. So I know that’s not the issue.
To pin-point the problem, I thought I’d exported the movie sequence in 3 parts. So I nested each section as a single movie and exported them into 3 Quicktime movie files onto the hard drive. I was hoping to find the error message in that particular section so I can fix it. To my great frustration, they all exported beautifully without any error messages. All three of them!
So in theory, if I can slice my movie into 3 sections and export them successfully, my sequence as a whole does not have any problems. Then why can’t I export them as a complete 72 minute movie?Is it length? I’ve exported a previous version before and the same length was not a problem.
Is it problems with text generators? Then how come when I exported them in separate sections they were without problem?
This is a mystery to me and I can’t seem to find an answer.
Anyone out there with a similar problem?
I need enlightenment.Thanx,

So what is “title crawl?” Is it the name of the movie, or an effect you’ve added. I’ve never seen an “AE effects” error message in FCP. Memory is referring to RAM, and rendering is referring to rendering an effect, not the exporting or compresion of the quicktime.
So first I’d make sure your entire sequence is rendered before you export. Possibly you just don’t have enought RAM for FCP to keep up with all the rendering and exporting at once, which is why the smaller sections work. But you should render first anyway, since the export renders are only temporary, and lost after the export is complete.
How much RAM do you have? What version of QT are you using? You should be using QT 6, not 7. Perhaps not even QT 6.5. If you decide not to upgrade FCP, you can’t keep upgrading the OS and QT.
