  Tiff files causing long render and ‘out of memory’ in Pro Res sequence

  Posted by Janet Baus on January 10, 2012 at 3:41 am

  Hi,

  I looked this up. I am editing in Pro Res, and the Tiff files are causing a slowness and hours-long render time for a few minutes.

  It says 11 hours for about a minute right now.

  Any ideas?

  Thanks,

  Janet

  How big are they? 4k x 4k is the max. How much RAM do you have?

  I have 4 gigs ram.

  What do you mean by 4K x 4K. Does that mean 16K?

  They are all much bigger than that. They are from 70K to 170mb.

  Do you think it will work if I import them into iPhoto and export them as jpegs? I did it with one and it reduced the size from 22mb to 1.5 mb.

  Thanks!

  click on your pic and it should show up in “preview”. click “tools” then “show inspector”. your pic attributes will be visible. “image size” should be no bigger than 4,000 x 4,000 pixels. “image DPI” should be 72 unless you doing a zoom and pan on the pic. i use 100 and it works well. “color model” should be RGB. i use Photoshop to adjust these parameters. also…in your timeline..under “sequence” click “video processing” and you should set it to “always render in RGB” if it is on “render 10 bit material” it will take hours and you will probably get an “out of memory” flag. good luck.
