  I ran into the same problem a couple of weeks ago, with a canvas size of 8700X5333. Evidently, its a lack of memory that causes the problem. Some tricks you can do that worked for me is:
  Edit/Purge
  Lower your Redo count.
  Have no other programs running while you are in After effects.
  Check your Memory/Cache info in Preferences
  Crop the images in Photoshop so they are smaller in After Effects (In my case I was able to crop the image into say 4 chunks, that way I was able to keep the quality and lower the canvas size)

  yes – this is a RAM issue. All of the advice given is good. Also working at 50% and half res, will help while working, but may be a problem while rendering. Make sure to set up AE to purge your RAM cache when you render or you will run into problems there too.

  You set that up in the secret menu – here’s a link to a tutorial that explains how to do that:

  At least, I think that’s the tutorial. I’m pretty jet lagged at the moment, but I think that’s it.
