Operation not Allowed Error: Out of Memory
Hi everyone,
I am going crazy I have been doing this project for over 4 months and it has worked perfectly. Now I dont know what happened, all of a sudden it started giving me an error saying OPERATION NOT ALLOWED and after pressing OK, it says ERROR: OUT OF MEMORY. I am working on a Powerbook G$ with 1.25 GB RAM an 80 GB Hard drive and I have my scratch disk set up on a 500GB external Hard drive. I tried rebooting the computer and everything I can open other files but not that specific one. Anyone knows what can I do??? I need to have this project exported by this Friday June 2nd.
PLEASE PLEASE I NEEEEDDDD HELPPP

Try opening the latest Autosave. Which version of FCP are you running?

How full is the internal hard drive and how full is the scratch disk? If either one is over 90% full, that may cause the problem.
If either one is 90% full or more, try clearing out some space and see if that helps.
When working with video and it’s generally large-ish files, it’s sometimes a good idea to keep 20% of all drives free for swap space and head room.

I am running FCP 5, and I have 20 GB free on my hard drive and 140 GB on the scratch disk, How do I open the last autosave????

Charlie thanks, I opened the last Autosave and it came back, you saved my life, I would never have thought about it. Thanks.

Just to be clear (and this comes up about once a week) ‘Out of Memory’ refers to system memory, not disk space. The error seems to be caused by corruption in a project or sequence. Reverting to a previously saved or autosaved version cures this.
This is why to ALWAYS need to have autosave on….

Remember when Autosave would only work for a couple hours and then just stop working? Yeah, I don’t miss that at all.

Yeah, now this Autosave is a life saver 🙂
