“Auto levels” effect – out of memory
Hello, just curious if any of you have had any problems with ‘auto levels’ under effects>adjust> in AE — it appears as I’m scrubbing the timeline as ‘out of memory’ and then ‘after effects error: auto levels (4). It doesn’t crash the computer; I just lose my preview until it happens again (which is often).
I’m just trying to “brighten up” several pieces of old footage and would really like for this to work properly because the results look great.
And, I’m using Win2000 Pro with AE 6.5.1 and have 2GB of RAM – I’ve reinstalled AE and the patch twice now to no avail.
thanks,
Craig -

Found the answer to my question on the Adobe forums; if any of you are having RAM problems, try this out (i.e., use the ‘secret menu’ and set your layer cache to clear every certain number of frames; I set mine to clear every 90). Why would Adobe have a secret menu? Sheesh…

“throw away” of preview memorymischi forster – 11:43pm May 9, 2005 Pacific
Hi there,
I have a problem all the time: Well I’ve 2 Gigs of memory, but still the memory gets full so many times after about ten minutes using AE. Is there a way to “throw away” the preview memory so I don’t have to restart AfterEffects to have more ram?Well, thanks a lot,
Michael

anyone else had any problems with this?

David Wigforss – 4:58pm Jun 28, 05 PST (#3 of 4)Nope, but if you have problems rendering, try out the “Secret Menu” in preferences.. I think you need to hold shift and then go to prefs.. Hit the back button, and voila, the “Secret Window”. That will allow you to clear it after each frame.

”Yep. Seems to happen here too. It would be nice if it have a confimation window pop up after it does it ‘thing’. Also it should have a toolbar button so you can click it more often with ease.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, which is why it’s not out in the open. Using that setting has negative effects. For example, any effect that relies on previosu frames take a lot longer to render – Effects like motion blur and echo time are only 2 examples. Since previous frames are chucked, you have to recalculate for them.
