  • Keylight out of memory error

    Posted by Mark Longchamps on March 5, 2008 at 2:53 pm

    Hello. I just installed after effects 8 (Cs3) in a mac with 2 gigs ram and 2 Intel processors. I have 10 comps that are about a minute long each. I am doing a chroma key over a white background and a resize. I can render one at a time fine in the render que. However, when I select all 10 and hit render, after two or three get rendered I get a keylight out of memory error and AE crashes. I am a newbie to AE. Is there something wrong with my settings or a bug? Thanks

    Search the COW for “secret prefs”. You need to use them to purge your RAM, since you have so little.
