Premiere Pro running low on system memory – what to do?
Hi!
I’m editing hd footage and occationally the program tells me that Premiere Pro is running low on system memory. I have chosen to set the scratchdisks to the C drive and the project to the D drive. There is about 50 gig free space on each drive? What can I do? Should i dedicate more memory to Premiere? How do I do that?How would I know if the scratch disks are full?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Ciao

I also keep getting this message, but found an answer here on that, just thought i’ll write that too, since it seems to be related:
Premiere Pro Debug Event
Premiere Pro has encountered an error.
[../../Src/PPixHandleUtilities.cpp-114]Response:
Here a couple of suggestions:
(1) make a totally new project and IMPORT the other project into the new one.
(2) Create a new timeline in your existing project. Go to the old timeline, copy EVERYTHING and then paste it into the new timeline.
(3) make sure your scratch disks are not full. this will cause it everytime.
(4) I routinely get this error if I have a still graphic photo or image that is over 3000 pixels wide or so. I always shrink them down a bit in photoshop or do the effect in After Effects. -

A thought, would it be a good idea to use an external harddrive for the project or for the scratch disks and media cache files?

You didn’t mention your computer specs and Operating System and what version of Ppro.
You should keep your OS, apps and project files on your C: drive, you should have a large fast disk or array dedicated to your video files(scratch disks), and maybe a third disk for preview files, media cache, audio files, still images, etc, and never let the drives get more than 80% full -
The remedy for this is to reboot your computer every 3 hours.

I find:
1) clearing the clip list from the source viewer
2) turning off picons and waveforms on the timelineare two methods that seem to help
