Proxy trying to buffer at original size
Hey all,
I’m creating some animations using the CCsphere effect on a 12000×6000 map of the earth. Since it’s a large image, I made a proxy at 1200 by 600 to make it easier on After Effects. However, I’m still consistently getting an error message: “After Effects unable to create image buffer for 12000×6000 image.” The proxy is enabled and the box in the project window is filled in, so I’m confused as to why this is happening.
I also get the same problem (but less frequently) in comps where I’m using the map without applying CCsphere, so I don’t think it’s the effect that’s causing the issue…
I’m working in CS4 on a Mac with 8G RAM, for what it’s worth.
Thanks,
Alan

Is this happening when you’re rendering for previews or for final output? If for final output, check your render settings and see what Proxy Use is set to.

This is happening while I’m working on the comp, rendering for preview or just moving within the timeline. In final output I have it set to “Use no proxies”, and have the processor settings such that, while a very slow render, it finishes without errors.
Before I learned about proxies, I was working with images this size and running into the same problem. My solution then was to restart After Effects whenever the error popped up, and then I could usually get another 5-10 minutes of work in before I got the error again. I was hoping that using a smaller proxy would allow me to avoid this error; but so far, that’s not the case.
Thanks,
Alan
