nesting question hdv question, lots of questions…..!
Spec: mac intel quad 2.66 5gb ram, 1tb xsan server, MAC OS X 10.4.11 FCP 5.1.4
Hello!
i have a colleague who is working with an HDV sequence in the native codec. Now we are unable to work in pro-res or xdcam forvarious reasons and the native codec has been ok so far.
His sequence has become very complex with numerous filters added to the clips. Some of which are Magic Bullet ones. He is using an intel quad 2.66 machine with 5 gb ram and plenty of drive space. (All drives he is connected to are at least 50% free) yet while rendering and conforming it will stop and produce the ‘out of memory’ message. Is this a ram issue?
We have trashed prefs, repaired permissions (inside and outside of the OS) and used disk warrior.
Finally he has been told to break the 20 minute sequence in to 2 minute chunks, nest them and render/conform them this way. This has a 70% success rate and a very slow process.
So two questions really….. Does nesting reduce the work load on the computer in terms of rendering and conforming?
and
Whats up with the machine for it to struggle in this way and is there anything that should be done to prevent it happening again?
Many thanks in advance for any ideas and suggestions…….
Chris.
