  • Sequence File Error/Out of Memory

    Posted by Brad Elliott on October 24, 2007 at 2:57 pm

    I have a project that seems partially corrupt. As of yesterday afternoon I am unable to open 3 of the 5 seqeunces in my project. I get a File Error-unknown file and then Error out of memory window whenever I try to open the sequences.

    I just learned that you shouldn’t use # in your sequence names but after opening for two weeks I didn’t think it was a problem.
    I have restared, trashed preferences, trashed my render files but the sequences still won’t open.

    The earlier versions in the autosave vault either won’t open or are too old to be of any use.

    Suggestions?

    I just barely had a similar problem with some sequences in a project.

    This is what I did.

    Closed all sequences in the project so no sequences are open.

    Save the project. (You might as well use Save As as I’ve hear that can help too).

    Restart your computer.

    Open the project.

    Open a sequence that has having a problem. For me, it opened!

    Good luck!
