Can’t create 10000 x 11000 image buffer
Well, the subject line pretty much says it.
I am getting an error that reads
“After Effects error: Cannot create 10000 x 11000 iamge buffer”
I’m not really sure why this is coming up as I don’t understand the nuances of the rendering/RAM allocation/etc relationship.
There is nothing too major going on in the comp, but there is a rather large layer (texture from a scan) that is 2504×3468 and 1.1mb; this is present throughout the :30 animation.
The render fails pretty much immediately.
I am running AE7 on a Mac Quadcore with 8GB RAM and OSX if that helps. Just in case it matters, I’ve tried with motion blur on and off.
Thanks in advance for any help!

– Make sure you don’t have any masks applied to the picture which could be that big.
– Did you scaled the picture up in the comp?
– Which effects are applied on the big picture?
– Do you have any solids/vectors in the comp which you scaled up with continuous rasterization?
– Did you restart After Effects (can help sometimes)
– Adjust your RAM-UsageUsually 2504×3468 should be no problem for AE
My guess would be some masks.
I once made the same mistake by applying a huge mask to a picture to feather it out extremly and it caused the same error.Dino Muhic – Media Producer

What is the resolution of the image. I have seen sometimes that a large image with a dpi of 1200 can mess things up, even though AE is resolution independant. Pull into photoshop and make sure the image is sample to 96dpi. If it is already, then maybe list what you have going on in the comps… any particles or zaxwerks? Any illustrator files?

Yes, I’ve got this error too, but I actually AM handling very large images. Basically I need to zoom in on a 7k x 7k image from the full image (scaled to about 20%) to see the very fine detail in one section of it (ending up being 100% scale).
I tried the memory management options with no luck, but…
I’ve found that if I leave the composition un-rendered, then create a Premiere Pro project (of equal dimensions/framerates, etc) then just dump the AE comp on the PP timeline, it builds fine (albeit very slowly).
This is a round about way to do it, so I’d like to hear if there’s better options…

I use to have this problem too, and after a while determined how to fix it.
I actually leave the mem settings alone and simply do the following:1. Max disk cache size 15000 mb
2. Secret purge every 1 frame
3. Set Window’s Virtual Memory to 8000 initial and maxI can now do extremely huge files really really fast with no crashes or image buffer errors.
