  • Error: The System is low on memory…

    Posted by Hideaki Ogiwara on June 8, 2011 at 7:25 pm

    When I render the session as AVI or any kind of video data, they said

    “An error occurred while creating the media file ……avi.
    The system is low on memory. You may be able to reduce memory usage by closing other applications.”

    But when I rendered as audio file such is WAV or MP3 which is fine…
    In addition, I don’t open any other software except Sony Vegas Pro 10. Also, my PC has 400 GB space now. So it should be fine for rendering this 1 min video into my PC….

    Please let me know how I can render my video now….

    Been hearing about that issue from several users.
    Are you using the 64bit version of Vegas?

    As i figured.
    For the time being, Install and use the 32bit version,
    which i dont think you will have that particular issue.

    “low on memory” is not related to hard drive space available, but to RAM available.

    Video rendering may require more computing power than audio rendering.

    What are the characteristics of your PC? (OS, RAM, Processor and Hard Drive space available)

    I could render well like this:

    “preferences > options > video tab > set the rendering threads to 1 and the dynamic ram preview to 0.
    if that doesnt work save the files and install vegas 10.0c and reinstall all your plug-ins etc and then its fixed that way. ”

    Thank you everybody!!
