APP2.0 Writing to C drive.. causing Low Memory Error
I have a project that was created on my C drive which is not normally what I do. I have a video drive, scratch drive and project drive but was running out of space and created it on my C drive.. (I know.. shouldn’t have done that)…
I started having severe performance (low memory) problems ONLY while working with the project that was created on the C drive (which is where APP2.0 is installed) .
I have 2 gigs of memory.. I looked at performance monitor and saw APP2.0 using 650 megs of memory… (How can I be low on memory)
Anyway, I moved the files to my project drive (D). I started my project.. it asked where all the files were.. I pointed it to my D drive.
When I go to make a change in my time line the low memory error displays again.. and when I go check my OLD location on C drive.. I see that APP2.0 has RECREATED a c:\projectname\video dir…Even after I’ve deleted it.. Go figure…
I can’t help but think that this is causing my severe performance. How can I get my project to ignore the old C drive (Not attempt to create the c:\
\video dir) and work strictly on the D drive where I’ve already pointed it to the new files? I haven’t had this low memory error on any other projects just this one that started out on C.
Please help

set all to “Same as Project” -
I’d first check my C: and see how much free space is actually on there.
Try Spacemonger 1.4 to find large files.2nd I’d setup Windows to increase it’s memory automatically so you can use your hard drive for memory space. It’s a bit slower, but you won’t run out of memory.
Good luck
