Premiere/AME low on memory
Hi all,
I am working on a show reel with about 10 videos edited together about 2 mins long. I’m on Win 7 CS6 master with 16 gb ram ssd boot drive 30gb and hdd of 2 tb. I have 10gb left on ssd and 1.5tb on hdd. I keep getting a memory error message when I try to export my timeline. Here’s the exact error
“Close programs to prevent information loss.Your computer is low on memory. Save your files and close these programs:
Adobe Media EncoderWindows will only close enough programs to restore neede memory”
I even try to export without AME and still same issue. These exports never even start. I left one go over night even. I don’t understand why it says my memory is low. Surly I could export in worse specs. Any help? Thanks

I assume you mean you are using W7 64 bit. (I know that’s a “duh” statement, but you likely know the old saying that assumptions can make an *ss of u and me”.
You may be running out of resources under Windows. Can you bring up Taskmanager (cntrl/alt/delete and choose Task Manager) and see what your actual memory useage is at that point? Whey you say “10 films” do you mean 10 clips or that you are importing 10 unique projects with all their attendant Fx? And what if you just render it directly from Premiere rather than throwing it to Encoder, a problem that seems to crash as much as it runs on some days (“headless” crash reports).

In Premiere, under Preferences for memory, check Optimize Rendering For Memory. Also, what is the setting for memory allocation to Premiere/CS apps?
I second Al’s recommendations to export directly from Premiere, and use Task Manager to monitor memory usage while encoding.

Yes 64 bit. Memory usage jumps around from ~8-15gb. I mean 10 clips, max file size is 500mg down to about 10 mb. I have tried exporting without encoder as I stated above. I just dont get how my computer runs out of memory with 16 gb of ram. I’ve never used a machine with this much memory and this is the only time I have ever had this error message in my life.

I have optimized rendering for memory already. I have tried to give all memory to CS apps, tried splitting 8 and 8 with other programs, and tried giving all memory to other programs. Nothing seems to change. I did monitor the memory, how does my computer use all 16gb of memory without even starting a render?

It seems odd that it’s using 15 GB of RAM at times. Must be something inherent to the clips.

Any resolution to this? The thing I hate about these forums is that you can always find someone having a similar issue, but you never came across a resolution….
If you thought 16GB was a lot, Encore encoding is using over 200+GB on my 256GB dual Xeon rig. This happens when Mercury GPU Acceleration is Off.
When Mercury GPU Acceleration is on, it uses much less and is faster, BUT, random frames from previous parts of the video are inserted… I’m going insane.
