working from a FCP Server.... a very large project (in terms of amounts of footage... about 10TB) I am running a MacBook Pro general error out of memory final cut 2.53 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo 4GB DDR3 And the other machine is a desktop with 10GB ram.... we are both getting memory errors when trying to open the project file (which is over 170mb in itself) final cut express error out of memory is this a case of the project having too much stuff inside it....

Final Cut Pro 6 Error Out Of Memory
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 too large?by Jerry Hofmann on Oct 15, 2009 at 4:02:29 pmAnother thought... Working with more than about 300-400 edits is really combersome, and takes a lot of RAM up... breaking the sequences down to those sizes or smaller makes things go a lot faster... Then de

Final Cut Pro "Out of Memory" Error…FIXED! Booyah Final Cut! Take that! I dont know if anyone who reads this uses FCP7 but if it even helps one person with this INCREDIBLY annoying https://hiddenmoonproductions.wordpress.com/2012/02/01/final-cut-pro-out-of-memory-error-fixed/ problem then its worth confusing some readers. Every once and a while I'll be editing a project and go to render and see this. I know I'm NOT out of https://larryjordan.com/articles/fcp7-general-error/ memory… In fact, I am currently only using 30% of my RAM. What the hell Final Cut? In searching the web I found a couple solutions that worked for out of some people but I figured out one that has worked every time this pesky error shows up. Here is a simple timeline where the error popped up. Nothing special. Just some opening graphics, interviews strung back to back with supers. How could something this simple cause any problems? The sequence settings looked like this. Here's the solution: - out of memory Click in the timeline. - Select all (Command+A) - Copy (Command+C) - Right-click in the Browser window and make a "new sequence" - Right-click on the new sequence go to settings. - Manually set the settings to match the original sequence (if it is using Compressor settings of either HDV or H.264 you might want to change this to some form of ProRes) - Paste the previously copied timeline in the new sequence. (Command+V) - Render! I bet you've never been so happy to see a progress bar have you? Now go get a beer and celebrate while your sequence renders and you feel that warm feeling of relief come over you… Unless you're at work. In that case, GET BACK TO WORK.

It has one of the least helpful warning dialogs and is frustratingly difficult to solve. However, I've learned that when a General Error occurs it is almost always related to a bad clip, or a bad render file, in your sequence. Maybe not always, but this should be the first place to check.General Errors most often relate to render problems; either when you are rendering directly during editing, or rendering as part of an export. While there isn't a fast way to fix this, it can be fixed. Before you attempt to fix a General Error, it doesn't hurt to reset your system by doing a Safe Boot.NOTE: Here's an article that explains how to do a Safe Boot: Trouble-Shoot in Five StepsTHINGS TO CHECK1. While Final Cut SHOULD be able to work with video of different frame rates, it can often have problems when a clip with a faster frame rate (say, 30 fps) is put into a slower sequence (say, 23.98 fps). Disable clips with different frame rates and see if the General Error goes away when you render.NOTE: To disable a clip, select it and type Control+B. A clip changes color when it is disabled.2. It is possible that a specific render file became corrupted. This isn't your fault, every so often it just happens. Delete all render files and see if the error goes away.NOTE: To delete all render files associated with a track, turn off the green visibility light, located in the track header on the left of the Timeline, then turn it back on. This is just a quick click - click. If you don't turn the visibility light back on, all clips in that track become invisible.3. Sometimes clips downloaded from stock image houses are corrupted during the transfer. Disable any stock shots (select the clip and type Control+B) and re-render.4. If these first three suggestions don't work, you will need to get a bit more methodical by rendering your project in sections until you finally isolate the clip(s) that is causing a problem. To render just a portion of your sequence, select roughly 10% of your clips and render. If that works, SAVE YOUR PROJECT, then render the next 10%. (Saving your project allows you keep the render files that you've c
