Yea I forgot about that setting. With the purge frames set to 15 the ram usage peaked at 12% instead of crashing at 85%.

Thanks for the help.

No more than a minute would render before a memory error would occur.

I have AE set to use 3gig of ram.

original contract was completed 12-31-06. a recent project was completed last week with no mention of any transfer of files or footage. file this one under out sourced to india.

Emre,
if you add this to the last line of your boot.ini file to read:
/fastdetect/3GB” After Effects will use 3 gigs of ram. when you start AE it says using 1% of 3GB of ram. if you need detailed instructions let me know. backing up original boot.ini is a must.

You are correct, there was only a verbal contract that was completed and ended 12-31-2006. I filmed footage, added some composites from After Effects and Audition, authored in Encore. Not to mention Photoshop, Illustrator and Image Ready. Production Studio is awesome.

They just dont seem to like or understand the fact that it costs money to do edits or changes and almost always wait to the last minute to make a decision. I have always got the job done under the worst of time frames. This lack of appreciation for what we do never ceases to amaze me. This client won’t be missed.

When I do eventually turn anything over it will be the raw footage only.

Did you fugure out how to get After Effects to use 3gig of ram?
