    Posted by Dan Pope on March 25, 2009 at 11:36 am

    I know rendering is boring but I have a problem!

    I am trying to render out a 15 sec video but at around 34 frames it says ‘not enough memory’ (or something quite similar) and fails.

    I do have enough storage on my computer and my ram stands at 4gig. What can be the problem and how can I fix it?
    Any help would be appreciate because I can’t continue until I render this.
    Thanks

    Tell us a bit more about your project. The size of the comp you´re haveing problems rendering, if you´re using plugins, the codecs, ect…

    I´m sure then someone might pop up and help you with those annoyng render problems.

    Cheers.

    Im using trapcode form, particular and shine quite a bit and there are a lot of layers. Its HD 1200×720 or something (I can’t remember and can’t check as I’m trying to render now). I don’t really know what else to say. I’ve just enabled disk cache to 2000mb and ticked the ‘Prevent DLL Address Space Fragmentation’ box.

    I’m using this page to help but I have no idea if its going to work still.

    I’m also using AE CS4.

    Sorry if I cant be more specific!

    Hi there again.

    Do you happen to have some huge layers?

    Did you try the Secret settings?

    Might help in cases like that. Helped me before.

    All the best.

    I’ll throw some thoughts out.

    1. turn off multiprocessing, you only have 4gb RAM, not enough to not crash.

    2. Prevent DLL Address Space Fragmentation can cause crashes if left on in rare cases.

    3. don’t have any other programs running in the background

    4. set Maximum Memory Usage: 90%
    Maximum RAM Cache Size: 40%
