Cannot re-open project after Out of Memory message

Hi,
Problem with Encore CS3.
Here is my problem: I have spent about 2 weeks working on a DVD project made of 2h movie (about 100 files and 2h of subtitles) and about 20 slideshows with a few hundred pictures and music for each slideshow. There are about 15 pages of menus and submenus. All in all it was getting longer and longer to save and open but it was okay.
I eventually tried to produce the DVD in a hard drive folder. Then, after about 14h of computation I got the message "Out of memory". I had to quit at that point. Since then I cannot open the project anymore!
When I open the project I get a window telling me how long it will take to open the project (with an incredibly wrong estimate by the way), once reached the 100%, it never gives me control back anymore. I have to kill the process with the task manager. I have tried to let it work for hours but that does not change much.
The hardware configuration is the following:
At the crash time: Windows XP pro SP2, Duo core processor, 2 GB RAM, a couple of 500GB hard drives connected in USB.
I have since added 2 more GB RAM and now have 4GB with 3.4GB detected (as we all know Windows 32 cannot handle the full 4GB). I thought the add of the memory would make a difference. It does not! Encore uses up to 1.5GB of Ram while trying to open the project (the task manager tells me).
I have tried many many times to re-open my project as I spent too much time on it to give-up easily.
I actually managed to reopen the project a couple of times in a kind of degraded mode by removing some files from the "Transcodes" directory. I then get an error message and sometimes manage to get in. I managed twice amd twice immediately saved the project under a new name (over 7GB of files).
The problem is: I have got a couple of error message while trying to re-setup the project as I left it (remember it was a degraded mode with missing files). I never managed to go to the build stage again and I cannot reopen my project consistently. I now have 3 versions of it. None is working. I am back to starting point, unable to open the project.
If anyone has a solution to recover my project, it is much more than welcome! I hate the idea to start from scratch again. If I have to do so, I am seriously thinking to switch to Vegas and DVD architect because Premiere is unable to handle my new HDV files and I start to be fed-up with all the CS3 bugs. Saying that learning these 2 tools was long enough to not wish to learn 2 new ones.
Thanks for taking time to read all my message.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Well, here is the solution to my own problem. I give it to you in case you get the same problem one day.
The solution is as simple as impossible to find on your own: launch Bridge before launching Encore! Yes, that's it. If Bridge is running when you start Encore and open your project, it all works just fine.
In my case, the project was a bit damaged as many files where not located properly. I just hit the "Skip all" button when prompted and got into my project. Then I re-assigned each unfound file (in italic) with the original one. That was quite easy in the end.
I find it incredible that Encore will work only when Bridge is launched. In that case, I can only recommend to have plenty of RAM. In all cases it is a nasty bug.
I hope it will help someone some day.
Cheers.

  • Out of memory message when rendering

    I have read much about this issue in other posts, but havn't been able to solve my problem.
    when rendering a sequence of large still in DVC Pro 1080i, about a 20% of it rendered, then the message "out of memory" comes up.
    The rendered part looks sweet.
    I have been able to render about another 20%, completing about 40% of the project rendered after the initial message, then the "out of memory" pop up comes up again, and after that, i will try to render more, the render % bar comes up, then just gives up and doesn't render anything.
    All of my scratch disks are set to a 2TB external sata drive with tons of room.
    I've deleted all of the render files in the Tools>Render Manager and that just made me re-render everything again, to come back to the same spot of "out of memory" at around 40% again.
    Should i try bumping up the still cache up to like 50% from a current 10%?
    Im working with all stills, maybe i should bump it up to 100%?
    Open to suggestions. . .

    O.k.
    I understand now that FCP can only use up to 4 GB of RAM. Sooo. . . if rendering large still images with a lot of filters: de-interlace, flicker filter, broadcast safe, I could see why you wouldn't be able to render a long sequence of these big stills. I believe this is why i was getting the stopping of rending and the "out of memory" message. So i once again cleared my renders in the Render Manager. I closed the projected and restarted.
    I began to try and render just sections of the sequence, thinking that this couldn't possibly max out the maximum RAM used by FCP. Though this didn't work.
    With just a small section of the sequence selected, it again recieved the "not enough memory" message, and FCP wouldn't render anything else after making another small selction of the clips.
    Why is it not possible for me to render small sections at a time?
    Is editing large stills in HD not possible in FCP for the reason of not being able to use enough RAM?
    Please, any advice or imformation on this will help me figure out what application i should use, or if there is a way to do this in FCP for editing still images with Heavily panned and zooms for a HiDef sequence, thanks

  • Out of Memory message in FCE HD

    I am editing a long film. Suddenly when I try to insert a clip in the timeline I receive an "Out of Memory" message. I increased memory allotments in System Settings to the max (I have a gig of RAM)
    and when I saved the Project all but the last three or four clips were saved: but not the last ones.
    I cannot find anything wrong and I am jinxed. Is it the program, something wrong with the hardware or me? I have an iMac (not the Intel chip), with a 250 gig hard drive and Ram as stated.

    The capture is on the 500 gig disk. I have closed out all other applications using force quit.
    I am beginning to think I should look outside FCE. My download is HD and the project is similarly in HD- I have not changed it. I think I will call Apple - I have Apple care for the computer itself.
    It is increasingly a problem. I have tgried to close out all the old projects that I still had open- now I have the added problem that the canvas and the timeline have disappeared and greyed out under Window. I have a program to give I am trying to get edited in three weeks and all these problems....

  • Excel 2011 version 14.4.8 running on an iMac gets "out of memory" messages.

    HELP!!!   Excel 2011 running on an iMac with OS 10.10.2 and 16GB Ram gets "out of memory" messages.  When I monitor processes with "Activity Monitor", I am using less than half of my RAM.  The Excel workbook has many sheets and also some macros.  The basic workbook has been running for about two and half years starting in August 2012 without any problems until I upgraded to Yosemite in early December 2014.  Now I often have to restore the entire file content because it gets corrupted after not being able to save the file because of the "out of memory" message.  I can take a file and its content that ran fine a year ago and run it today and it will eventually get corrupted and get the "Out of memory" message after saving/quitting/re-opening the file any where from 6 to 15 to 25 times.  I think I need to have more memory allocated to Excel, but Yosemite doesn't provide any way for the user to interact with the memory management process.  I have also experienced the very same problem on my MacBook Pro that runs Yosemite.  I have worked file/path name length issues, closely inspected the macros that normally don't run except when activated with a user pressed button, and made sure I don't have any weird links within the workbook or even links to another file outside the workbook.  This problem seems to get worse as a continue to fill up the spread sheet with more financial data.  This Excel workbook is used to manage my club's finances; I am the club treasurer.  I have searched the internet for clues about similar problems and have found none!
    My iMac is a 27-inch, Late 2009 with a 2.8GHz Intel Core i7 Processor.  It includes 16GB of 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM.  The hard drive is a fussed 1TB rotating HD with 128 GB SSD.  This hardware has been running for about 27 months.  I am a very advanced Mac user that programs Excel and Filemaker and repairs Macs for others.

      I am a very advanced Mac user that programs Excel and Filemaker and repairs Macs for others.
    I am a not a very advanced Mac user that uses programs like Excel and Filemaker and avoids any repairs of Macs for others
    Given the caveat, have you tried reinstall of Office? Your MS Office 2011 may have become corrupted.  After upgrading to Yosemite I had to reinstall my Office 2011.  No crashes.
    The current version of Office 2011 is 14.4.8.
    First - find your Office 2011 install disc with the product key # - and only then remove Office according to MS instructions
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768
    Or go here to DianefromOregon's site for help removing Office 2011:
    http://www.officeformachelp.com/2012/12/office-for-mac-2011-remove-office/
    Then Reinstall from DVD
    Then enter your Product #
    After successfully reinstalling Office 2011,  update your Office product using the Software update within Office called Microsoft Update or going to the Help menu within Word or Excel or PowerPoint and select Update.
    It may take a few times before you get to final upgrade to current Office version.
    It should be 14.4.8 as of current date.

  • Out of Memory message -- even with a blank sequence!

    Not sure what happened, but all of a sudden I can't get any timelines to open. Even if I just start up the program without any open sequences, when I click on the empty "Sequence 1" I get the dreaded Error: Out of Memory message. I've tried the usual fixes, but nothing seems to help. I recently ran Cache Out (to delete various caches) and Monolingual (to get rid of non-English language support files), I wonder if something essential got trashed?

    Got 10GB or so on both my external hard drive (which I'm not even using now), as well as the internal one. My media is on the external, but to simplify I disengaged it and am just trying to load ANYTHING. Just working on my internal drive, which I have permission to use, of course. I've got 1.25GB of RAM, no issue there. Activity Monitor was a good idea, in fact it occurred to me a few minutes ago and I checked that, didn't see any obvious problems.
    I trashed the preferences numerous times, deleted some old files, was going to dump the render files -- but I realized it's irrelevant, since it won't even open a blank file. Here's further evidence of the weirdness -- when the blank project opens up, it gives me the Browser window, and I can get the Viewer to open (but never the Timeline). However, if I try to open up anything in the Viewer, it immediately disappears! I'm losing my mind...

  • Out of Memory message box

    I am using CS Indesign 5.5 and have recently loaded 6.0. Having used Indesign for nearly 10 years I have never had the Out of Memory message pop up and have no idea why this is now doing so. I am using the PC version with Windows. I cannot get rid of the Out of Memory pop up but also cannot continue with that design. Is it anything to do with the fact that I am running 2 indesign products at the same time. Any help would be appreciated as I am starting to get a little bit annoyed.

    I'll leave you with this quote from the Principal Scientist at Adobe

    The problem you are experiencing unfortunately has nothing to do with the amount of physical memory in your system, its hardware configuration, or the OS version you are running. You could be running Windows 7 64-bit with 24GB of memory and the same problem will occur.
    The out of memory message typically means that some internal tables within InDesign's own memory space and/or that of its Adobe Core Technology components have reached capacity. You are much more likely to see this message if you are editing very long and/or graphically complex documents and page through the entire document and/or do many edits without saving the document (use "save as" to be safe), exiting InDesign, and then restarting InDesign and continuing editing of the document in question. Exiting and restarting InDesign clears the memory problem. FWIW, I've seen this problem the most when attempting to export PDF from some long, complex documents. My workaround is to save the document, exit InDesign, restart InDesign, open the document and without paging through any of the document (other than the currently displayed page, obviously), immediately initiating the PDF export process.

  • Error Out of memory message since update

    In the middle of a project with five camera multicam edit and since an update Im getting intolerable out of memory messages. have 32gb of memory. How can I roll back the system to remove whatever the updates were? There were 4, and I'm not sure what they were, but didn't have this issue before. I've rebooted and still getting the same message. Driving me nuts as I'm editing for TV and it's time sensitive.

    I know, I clicked on the update and realise that about 0.1 of a second later..... "mmm, shouldn't have done that". I now think it's not the updates as such. The problem appears to be when I try to adjust the time of one clip by 10 frames or so to match the other clips (Ctrl+shift to move a clip in time). When I do that it seems to cause the error. I've been getting that when I try and change the clip positions in the multicam view when there are 5 or 6 clips, so I've stopped doing it and just accept the positions in the viewer as they import. Tweaking individual clips seems to cause the same general error message. For the time being I'm re-editing it after changing the in point of the clip and starting again with a fresh set of clips as a new multicam edit. Not ideal but gets around the issue for now.
    Thanks

  • My final cut studio keeps giving me this error out of memory message when ever i try to render a piece of footage and its closing unexpected. Does anybody know the reason?

    My final cut studio keeps giving me this error out of memory message when ever i try to render a piece of footage and its closing unexpected. Does anybody know the reason?

    I had this problem about 2 months ago and, as others have suggested in this thread, eventually traed it backed to some stills I had scanned and brought into the project.  Accidentally I had changed the scanner settings, with the result that a couple of skills were well beyond 1980 x 1020 pixels.  I resampled the stills and everything was fine again.  Hope this might help.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • "Out Of Memory" message when trying to paste Audio Configuration (Logic 9)

    Hello
    The song I want to copy Audio Configuration from is quite large, it contains the whole album actually. I suppose that if I truncated it I could get the copying done, but isn't there a way to increse memory allocated to Logic instead ? Or are 16 GB RAM not enough ?
    Thanks for any info

    I truncated the source song to make it simple and I still get the Out of Memory message. No other app is running except RME's TotalMix & FireFace USB. Is there any other solution than copying all channel strip settings one by one ?
    Is it any different in Logic X ?

  • "Out of memory" message when rendering - MP4 files imported

    I imported MP4 files into FCP7 and I get an "out of memory" message when I try to render a sequence. I don't think it's the size of the file because I often work with much larger files without any problem. I even saved the MP4 to MOV files with QT and imported those, and still it gives me the  "out of memory" message. VERY ANNOYING.  There seems to be something in those original MP4 files that FCP doesn't like. Any idea how to get around this?

    Not to be rude or insult intelligence, but What format is the timeline in. Not the video files (It's great that you put them to PR422, but if your timeline's native format is something other than PR422, Final cut is going to try to render files in that format... )
    And Again please define "Huge"... How big of a hard drive are you using, and how much RAM space do you have? I checked your profile for any further information, but found none. these are key things to helping figure out your problem.
