AE Crashes during Preview and Render HELP
Hi, I’m running AE CS3 on Windows XP 64 bit. After working normally for months, it’s suddenly crashing during previews and rendering. During renders the percentage of RAM usage rises quickly until it nears 85% (this is the amount of RAM I have allocated in the preferences), then crashes. It appears that AE is only using the physical RAM. I’ve tried switching Open GL on and off, moving the Conformed Media Cache from :C to another drive, reinstalling CS3 entirely – all with no effect. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sterling

[Sterling Youngman] “During renders the percentage of RAM usage rises quickly until it nears 85% (this is the amount of RAM I have allocated in the preferences)”
If your Maximum RAM Cache is set to 85% it is far too high. Having a high value in this field will not benefit renders and significantly increases the chances that your memory will become fragmented and cause problems.
Try setting the value to 60% or lower.
Your Maximum Memory Usage can (and probably should) be above 100% as this allows for the usage of page files by the system. The default of 120% is a good value, entering values at 200% or above is not recommended.

Darby, thank you. I reset to 60% and the problem has gone away – hopefully premanently.

Umm its just a quick question—–
I used to wonder how to export files with good quality from AEcs3 keeping the good quality and then I learned I had to render Que or something-now when I render or export it its good quality stays but the file’s wayyyyy too big and wont be edited in other softwares like particle illusion.
I think the problem is that it is uncompressed but i don’t know which compressor from the render Que has the best quality.Please Reply,
Thank-you
James
