out of memory warnings
I’m suddenly constantly getting “out of memory” warnings every time I try to render my project. It’s a project I worked on before I recently updated to final cut 7.0.3 from 6. That’s the only difference and other projects I’ve updated since going to 7 are working just fine. What can I do to fix these out of memory warnings. I’ve already trashed preferences numerous times, restarted, zapped my p-ram, what else can i do? Thanks.

The only time I’ve had that kind of problem is when I used stills that were CYMK instead of RGB. Do you have stills in your project, if so make sure they are RGB and no more than 2500 pixles in size.
Others on this site and much more knowledgable about such things will offer sound advice.

I’ll bet your pictures are too big. I had this too with several pics that were 3000 x 3000 and cured the problem by down-rezzing the pictures.

The common checklist is stills, pixels exceeding 4k in any direction and whether plugins and graphics cards are maxed out. Sometimes a restart can get you around the problem. You can render sections to find where the problem clip or clips might be.
The other issue is how you did the FCP6 to 7 upgrade. It has always been recommended by the wise ones here to do a clean install on a new hard drive of OS and FCS3, keeping the old drive as a backup if things go wrong. After the clean install, repair permissions. If you did an update over FCP6, then little strange problems may crop up from time to time.
