Error: Out of Memory
Hi,
I just upgraded FCS 2 to FCS3. I am on an 8 core Intel Xeon Mac with 8 gigs of Ram. Whenever i try to render this sequence i am in it gives me an ERROR: OUT OF MEMORY message.Note: This only happens over an image collage i have made up of TIFF files. When I go to render a QT animation file from AFTER EFFECTS it renders it fine.
I cant even export a quicktime. The meter goes up, then stops and gives me the same ERROR: OUT OF MEMORY message
Can someone please help!
Thanks.

QUit FCP
User > Library > Preferences.
Delete the com.apple.FinalCutPro prefs.
Then find the Final Cut Pro User Data and trash the prefs and caches in there.

A quick search of this forum would reveal that the issue of large stills (greater than 4,000 pixel dimension) causing this error message has been regularly answered. This is a typical error message that has nothing to do with the actual problem. Perhaps Apple should have helpful message like “Pixel aspect greater than 4K” but, hey, that would be a useful error message.
Check your stills and any that are larger than 4k in any direction need to be size reduced. Note your scaling might have to be adjusted if you had keyframe moves.

That and make sure they are rgb vs cmyk.

Yes I changed them from CMYK to RGB. and YES the stills DO have a frame size of 4096×6144 or higher! What is the recommended frame size to decrease them to for an HD project?

The smaller they are, the easier for FC to manage.
You should rise the “Still Cache” (Preferences) as well.

They can’t be over 4000×4000.
