RED Encode – Out of memory
Hey all,
I’m doing the unadvisable – editing RED on my MacBook Pro.
We’ve picture-lock, and I’ve created a new timeline where I’m changing out all the “P” quality clips to “F” quality. It was going well, rendering nice long stretches – confirming how great everything was going to look. But now when I go to render it can’t even finish a clip before a message pops up and says, “Not enough memory.”
I’ve restarted the computer, and closed all other applications, etc…
MacBook Pro
1.83Ghz Intel Core Duo
1.5GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

where do you want me to start?
Not enough RAM,
Laptop is not recommended for more than “M” proxy editing
“For RT editing on a MacBook Pro, RED recommends you use 1K QuickTime reference movies.”Your Laptop is not recommend ( 2GHZ or better)
FCP cannot handle more than 2K.

Thank you, Gary.

For those in the same predicament as me – working with 4k RED footage on an older machine – I wanted to post a follow-up.
I discovered that the portion of the timeline that the computer was not capable of rendering was a clip that had color correction and a long cross-dissolve on it. After I pulled the filters and transition off any shots that had them, everything has been rendering fine. I’ll be outputting a self-contained 1920×1080 Apple ProRes version of the timeline to color correct at that resolution.
Not ideal in a number of ways, but better than not at all!
