Final Cut Pro 6 Error Out Of Memory
are having on a job right now. We are working from a FCP Server.... a very large project (in terms general error out of memory final cut pro 7 of amounts of footage... about 10TB) I am running a MacBook Pro 2.53 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo 4GB DDR3 And the other machine is a desktop with 10GB ram.... we are both getting final cut pro 7 error out of memory fix memory errors when trying to open 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...

Final Cut Pro Error Out Of Memory Render
Jerry Hofmann on Oct 15, 2009 at 11:36:42 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... FCP 7... project t
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 to use less memory. Thankfully, here are a bunch final cut express error out of memory of tips on how to do that. 1) NEVER edit in h.264 or any other compressed format. It after effects error out of memory will add a little bit of transcoding time to the beginning, but it will prevent 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 well! 3) Ensure that your audio is aiff (not mp3) and at the same settings as your timeline. https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/8/1057967 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 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 http://blog.youdownwithfcp.com/2012/07/17/how-to-fix-out-of-memory-error-in-final-cut-pro-7/ 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 to use for render!) Now I'm conforming all the clips to ProRez, and the estimated render time is 30 hours! Is there any way around this?? Tammy said this on November 20, 2012 at 10:15 am Thanks! T said this on April 12, 2013 at 6:51 am THANK YOU!!! Seems to have cleared stuf
Can't get it to render. On Line forums say delete sequences etc., which makes me nervous. Media manager can't assist ( see .jpg ) Help Please Reply Quote Re: Out Of memory (December 27, 2011 10:26AM) David Harbsmeier Don't delete any Sequences!! I don't know http://www.kenstone.net/discussions/read.php?3,37200 where you got that information, but disregard it at completely. Out of Memory error messages could be generated for a number of reasons. One of the most common is using still image files in the Timeline that are not in RGB Color Mode. FCP works properly only with RGB Color Mode images - not Grayscale, Indexed or CMYK. Other causes could be a corrupted media or render file, or a lack of free space on your hard drives. All hard drives should have a minimum of 15 to out of 20% free space available .... especially the boot drive. It can also be a corrupt project file or user file. Check to see if all still images are in RGB Color Mode first, then if that doesn't fix the issue, try dumping the render files for that project and render each clip in the Timeline one-at-a-time to see if it's a corrupt media issue. Also check the free space available on all hard drives. If one or more has less than the recommended amount, you'll need to dump some out of memory files to make more space. Report back with your findings. -DH Reply Quote Re: Out Of memory (December 27, 2011 10:28AM) Ken Stone Admin To add to what David said, also very large still images will cause this. Check for RGB but also the frame size and 'dpi'. --ken Reply Quote Re: Out Of memory (December 27, 2011 10:36AM) David Harbsmeier Good call, Ken. Images larger than 4000x4000 pixels can cause problems like this as well as too many large images in one Sequence. -DH Reply Quote Re: Out Of memory (December 27, 2011 10:50AM) Jon Chappell Here's what Crash Analyzer has to say: Out of Memory (Final Cut Pro) This can occur if you are editing media that is not supported in Final Cut Pro. This could include FLV, AVI, WMV or H.264 QuickTime movies. It could also include CMYK images or image files larger than 4000 pixels in width or height. Suggested Actions * Run Corrupt Clip Finder to locate corrupt or invalid clips. * If your sequence codec is set to a long-GOP codec such as HDV, H.264, XDCAM, AVCHD, MPEG-2, set it to ProRes. * For best results, convert long-GOP and non-QuickTime media such as AVI or WMV to ProRes. * Make sure all images are RGB. * Ensure image dimensions do not exceed 4000 pixels in width or height. * Ensure there is at least 20% space remaining on your media drive. * Go to Tools > Render Manager and remove render files. * Use Preference Manager to trash preferences. * Check permissions on your scratch disk.
