    After Effects: not enough memory to create image cache.
    (1519K requested, OK available)

    (44:62)

    Anyone know what this means? I keep trying to render out my project with various quicktime codecs and none of them seem to be working. I tried purging the memory and image cache and didn’t seem to work. This project is the first that I’ve encountered this error and was wondering if it could be from a corrupt file or something. Well any advise would be appreciated.

    You probably have a really large image(s) that is chewing up most of your cache
    needed for whatever else is happening in your comp. Aside from the obvious,
    (installing more memory) any savings you can make by scaling down your images
    (even 10-20%) can make a huge difference.

    If it’s something with many layers, try pre-rendering parts that might be
    processor intensive (like blurs, etc.) and bringing those back into your comp.

    Good Luck.

    I have a brand new HP workstation with 8 processors and 3.5 GB of RAM, and I am getting errors like (44:62), “could not create image buffer” eluding to not enough memory. I went into the memory settings in preferences and have alloted 1.2 GB for use and clicked “Prevent .DLL disk fragmentation”. I am trying to export a 1080 project with NO effects or layers and it’s giving me these errors.

    I tried looking at the virtual memory on the drive I’m using, and it has a minimum of 2GB.

    This system is pretty much dedicated to After Effects, brand new, super fast…I don’t understand how I don’t have enough memory. Any ideas out there? Anybody else have the same problem as me and the last guy? And I seriously don’t think I need more memory if I have 3.5 GB!

    Thanks.

    I had the same error and I just have 2 Gb RAM. I already increased the max ram-cache and max memory. Well I did a quick research and I followed the instructions at the adobe help center 🙂

    https://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/AfterEffects/8.0/help.html?content=WSF13D6BED-C53B-408a-B2D6-C8B4205D4FB7.html

    It says that errors can occur when using higher values than the presets. I also had the external Cache on the same Disk which is not the best option. Hope some of those tipps may help you too! They did in my case.
