the project file (which is over 170mb in itself) is this a case of the project having too much stuff inside it.... I would have thought that 10gb ram would let you work up to a point but never cross the line into the ''out of memory'' hole!?!? Return to posts indexReport Post •Re: Out of Memory Error... FCP 7... project too large?by Jerry Hofmann on Oct 15, 2009 at 11:36:42 final cut pro 6 error out of memory amThere's more than one reason this could be happening but here's some thoughts: That's a really large project file. I'd brake it down a bit. Having open sequences that contain a lot of edits can bring your computer to it's knees. The more sequences you keep the worse this gets too. FCP can only address about 2.7 gigs of RAM in any event. Photoshop files that contain blank layers can cause this error message all by themselves... Bad Media files might be at fault. Render files are usually the culprits if this hasn't happened because of a Photoshop file being added to the project file... But my guts really say your real problem is the size of the project file. One thing you shouldn't do is keep copy upon copy of your sequences. Backup your project files instead. Having a lot of clips usually isn't what makes the project file so large, it's piles of sequences, and text files in them that enlarges them the most. Text generated files are actually stored in the project file itself where media is not... Jerry Return to posts indexReport Post•Re: Out of Memory Error...

Gigs are full of a lot of things other than cached files, so the actual number is even a bit smaller. The only thing that you can do to prevent the error is actually after effects error out of memory to use less memory. Thankfully, here are a bunch of tips on how to do that. fcp says out of memory 1) NEVER edit in h.264 or any other compressed format. It will add a little bit of transcoding time to the beginning, but it will prevent final cut pro out of memory general error a lot of rendering and rerendering once in the edit. 2) Make your sequence settings (ideally) prores, and make sure that all of your footage is transcoded to the same flavor of prores (LT, HQ, 4444, whatever) This applies to framerate as https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/8/1057967 well! 3) Ensure that your audio is aiff (not mp3) and at the same settings as your timeline. 4) Resize all stills to rough video sizes. 30,000 pixel wide files will bog down fcp immediately so crop or scale it down to something closer to your timeline resolution. If photoshop does this once, then fcp doesn't need to do it a million times. 5) Flat stills are easier than layered files. FCP doesn't have to deal with the precomp that psds or layered tiffs come http://blog.youdownwithfcp.com/2012/07/17/how-to-fix-out-of-memory-error-in-final-cut-pro-7/ in as. 6) Close unneeded tabs in the timeline and canvas. So that's basically it. Pre-process your footage to be 100% the same as your timeline and work with as few sequences open as possible. In my experience it seems that once things start erroring there is very little that helps outside of a restart. ~ by ross on July 17, 2012. Posted in FCP, glitch 5 Responses to "How to fix "Out of memory" error in Final Cut Pro 7" Thanks for the list Ross. I keep coming up against that wretched message all the time even when using ProRes… Then again I've been working on some pretty hefty HD projects recently. Have found that if you get the message, flushing some render files using Tools->Render Manager can free up enough memory to get you going again. It's only a temporary fix since the cache will fill up again but it keeps you going when the deadline looms. J John Weeks said this on July 24, 2012 at 4:01 am I am editing a LONG piece (trt 5 hours) and have a TON of footage - all h.264 clips. I created a ProRez seq, and the render time was over 20 hours. Seriously. Also, the render took about 100 GIGS. And this is just an hour long seq. I have 4 more to go! Plus, if I turn a layer on/off, it needs to render again. Time is an issue here, as well as space. (I don't have 500+ gigs just
frustrating. I had this error today while working on a project with a lot of large jpg images in it, which always seems to make FCP7 go a bit weird, http://jonnyelwyn.co.uk/film-video-editing-tools-for-editors/final-cut-pro-fcp-apple-fcp7/how-to-fix-fcp7-out-of-memory-error/ but thankfully Larry Jordan is to the rescue once again with a great short tip on solving this problem. Extra Tip: If anything ever goes a bit wonky in FCP, its a good idea http://www.lafcpug.org/phorum/read.php?1,281645,281678 to try trashing the preferences (see this simple article from Larry Jordan) and also ‘Saving a project as…' - which can help rebuild the internal workings of a project. In both cases this didn't help out of me as what I needed to do was resize some overly large jpg images to a more FCP friendly scale. It's always the last thing you try.

If I close the program and re-open, it will allow the scene to render, but I obviously can't keep opening and closing the project every time I want to render a scene out. Nothing else is running that would eat up memory so I'm not sure the problem. Please help! Epp Reply Quote derekmok Re: FCP 7: Error - Out of Memory occurring too frequently!

So can non-self-contained (reference) movie files, non-optimized media (eg. H.264 .movs or MP4s), or too many video tracks. www.derekmok.com Reply Quote epp Re: FCP 7: Error - Out of Memory occurring too frequently!

While ppi is irrelevant to video work (since you're not printing anything), images at a high ppi are very taxing to an FCP project, and CMYK images can make a render fail outright. When you change the ppi, remember to readjust the height and
