Error: out of memory during render

Hi,
I am attempting to write a non-self contained quicktime movie from a sequence in FCP 6.03. The sequence was originally edited in AIC 720p, then onlined to 8 bit uncompressed via the .m2v files.
When rendering I receive an "error: out of memory" message.
I am wondering what might have caused this, as I have not experienced it before. I have done a search within mac forums, but none of the threads I found seemed to address my specific issue.
Any thoughts??
Thanks,
-Tom

Onlined to 8 bit uncompressed SD? or HD?
You likely have a corrupted media file involved. It's usually the same percentage in from the head of the sequence, as the failure is reported... i.e, the failure is reported after 50% complete? then look half way into your sequence, and re create or re capture that area of the sequence.

  • "Error: Out of Memory" when trying to Render

    Hello all,
    I'm editing a project in FCP 5 that is using, in part, .mpeg-4 videos downloaded from the internet. After several weeks on the project with things going fine, the downloaded videos can no longer render. I can see them in the source window, but when laid into the sequence these downloaded videos produce an "Error: Out of Memory" message. Other videos of this type that are already rendered and playing in the existing sequence cannot be re-rendered or adjusted without producing the same Error message.
    A few things to remember...
    1. Other types of rendering, such as filters and fit to fill effects, render just fine.
    2. There is over 30 GBs on the external drive this project is running on.
    3. I've tried resetting scratch disks, transferring the project to another drive, and opening it on a new, super-fast computer, and nothing is different.
    Please help, I'm really stuck in the mud here and am dying to get past this issue,
    Peace,
    Sam

    Did either of you find an answer? I'm running into the S A M E issues. I feel strongly that it has to do with the quicktime update, as editing mp4's worked FINE in January.
    There is a lengthy protocol for trying to circumvent this issue:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1413028&tstart=0
    Didn't work for me, but I think it worked for the query. And VLC (http://www.videolan.org/) ended up being the only program I can even VIEW mp4 in now properly.
    So if you can use a viewer, that works.

  • I'm getting an error Out of memory message when I try to render - There's lots of memory

    I'm getting an error Out of memory message when I try to render - there's lots of memory and I've never gotten this before - any ideas?

    Thanks - I did go through and change all the profiles to Apple RGB, there are several to choose - but I'm still having problems - I think it has to do with corrupt  images - Im backing up and starting over - I've worked with images large and small for years and never had this problem - thanks

  • Render - Error: Out of Memory

    I have been getting the following error message while trying to render - Error: Out of Memory.
    The system I am working on has 10 gigs of RAM and is connected to a SAN with a whole lots of storage. The error message doesn't appear until almost the end of a render, which is of itself very annoying. Anyone know why this is happening? If I restart the application I am OK for a while then it happens again.

    If you really want me to hold your hand I will. Here's some links that came up when I typed "Out of Memory"

  • 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.

  • "Error: out of memory" compiling JSP´s

    Our web application contains about 5000 JSP´s and 900 java files and every time I want to make the project I get the message "Error: out of memory" compiling the JSP´s despite already using the JVM option -Xmx850M to enlarge the heap size. It is not possible to use any higher value than 850M because this results in following error message launching JDeveloper.
    D:\jdevj2ee1013\jdev\bin>jdev.exe
    Error occurred during initialization of VM
    Could not reserve enough space for object heap
    The computer I use for development has 2GB of memory and JDeveloper is the only application running, therfor there must be enough memory available.
    If I deactivate "Make Project before running" I´m able to launch the application and debug JSP´s, but every time a page is called it´s recompiled, even if it has not changed, which costs a lot of time.
    Is it possible to disable the JSP translation in the development process and only translate and compile the JSP´s at request time in the embeded OC4J and make sure that this happens only once if the JSP has not changed?

    I have solved the problem. I removed the transition, "Light Slice" from PulpFx. It was giving me trouble earlier. I don't know why, or if it's fixable and able to be used in the future, but I can render 100% after that effect is removed from the footage/sequence.

  • Computer error - 'Out of Memory'

    Hi all,
    Company I edit for bought a new tower. Here are the specs
    Processor Two 2.66GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
    RAM 12GB
    Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB
    Yesterday was my first day on it, and all went fine until I started bringing render-heavy motion files into Final Cut. It would start rendering them, and then stop and say 'error -- out of memory'.
    The internal drive has 800G of free space, but Just to be safe, I switched the scratch disc to an external with 400G of free space. Got the same error and message.
    I also tried trashing preferences, repairing disc permissions and restarting. No luck.
    I switched to my laptop (2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo/4G Ram) and the sequence rendered just fine (if a little slow).
    Any idea what's wrong? We bought the machine specifically for rendering and compressing, so this is pretty frustrating...

    I've only run into this problem in a ProRes project, with clips transcoded from a Canon 7D. Other projects, using DVCPRO HD 1080, with lots of effects, haven't done this. What seems to help is 1. If you're using still files, make sure they're RGB and 72ppi; when I can I use jpgs rather than tiffs, and I think it helps to make them no larger than you need; 2. Close the sequence tabs you're not using, especially if they're psd still files; 3. Selectively render only the tracks at the top; 4. Save after every render.
    If anyone has other ideas, please let us know. This really can be a pain.

  • Error Out Of Memory Due to Digi Effects

    Hello everyone, got a bit of a tricky situation to troubleshoot :/
    Before you ask here's my iMac info http://gyazo.com/0648a1d03fb15935117894dd6716ffbc
    Ok so the problem is, I'm making this video and its having a lot of distortion effects added to it within FCP 7 using the plugin Digi Effects Damage "Blockade". Now I had a sequence which had just enough memory to use it on all the clips I needed. However, I sent that sequence to Color and sent it back to FCP and in my new 'color sequence' I can watch the whole thing through in real time with safe RT and unlimited RT, however there is this colour http://gyazo.com/d022bf802fb82d76d191a004ddcbc387 above all the clips that have the plugin on.
    Although I can watch it through in playback mode, when I render, after a few seconds it says Error: Out of memory.
    Here are my general sequence settings http://gyazo.com/a270414e2c2d38cb1274f8f84f507383
    I am using clips in the pro res 422 format. Any ideas? :/

    Hi
    Out of memory use to refere to amount of
    • RAM
    • free Space on Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk - VERY IMPORTANT
    • Space availably on Hard Disk/s That holde the Movie Material
    RAM
    Never been a problem to me - 2 resp 5Gb dep on Mac used
    Free Space on Boot HD
    I never go under 25Gb free space - when working on SD-Video project's - I guess that 4 - 5 times more will be a safe level when doing HD. This space HAS TO be just here as Mac OS works like UNIX (it is in fact) and then produces lot's of temp. files that can not be stored elsewhere and so does FinalCut (or whatever application running)
    Space to keep Movie Project
    • Should be on other hard disks than the Boot HD.
    • Should be as fast as possibly - RAIDed, FireWire or Thunderbolt - USB/USB2 performs badly to me and especially when filling up and when holding HD-material
    • MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted - this goes for all Video editing - iMovie, FinalCut or Adobe etc.
    • This too can fill up - So this space is also important
    What memory that are not sufficiant - is hard to guess - when You don't tell the above figure.
    Good Luck in finding it
    Yours Bengt W

  • "AE Effects Error: out of memory rendering '55mmv7_MonoTint.plugin"

    I am trying to export (using Quicktime Movie) a nested sequence when about 35% though the export it stops and gives me this error message:
    "AE Effects Error: out of memory rendering '55mmv7_MonoTint.plugin"
    The editor (i am only assistant) is using a filter package from Digital Film Tools, and they aren't in business any more. could it be that FCP 6 doesn't support these plugins?
    Some of the clips in the sequence aren't rendered. Do they need to be rendered before exporting to Quicktime?
    Some of the clips have a "Faux Film" filter on them but that's not the error that pops up.
    Not sure what else to say.
    Thanks for your help.

    Turn off the effects that you suspect and try the render again. That would be a good place to start.

  • NIGHTMARE with ERROR OUT OF MEMORY

    I was going to finish a 80 hour editing proyect and suddenly this morning my fcp says ERROR OUT OF MEMORY! so NOW, I can´t open anymore the editing sequence.
    HELP! I am desesperate!
    any idea??

    Thanks a lot! I read another post more or less like this, and somebody has some kind of programa thats named FCP RESCUE and it works really good!
    I erased all render files, then with this program (I still dont understand well how this works) deleted preferences of fcp (with fcp closed -- no instructions available of the use of this little program) and then make off line the sequence.
    YES! I Think the problem was a cmyk graphic I haved. so then I opened the sequence -everything was off line (as suppossed to be) and then opened a new proyect --diffferent name (by caution) changed name, and copy paste all the edition of the original editing sequence to the new project, but I erased the CMYK GRAPHIC -- now working fine in the new project.
    Have to say that in the older one --even that I erased the cmyk graphic --still having troubles so...
    its better to work in a new project.
    Thanks a lot for your responses VERY VERY USEFUL!!
    Ah, one more thing, fcp (apple) should warn users that fcp is not compatible with cmyk graphics and that will give conflicts.

  • "Error: Out of memory" [not able to open timeline or videos in 'Viewer']

    Hello all,
    I am opening an old project from FCP 4 to Studio 1. The old system used a 'Cinewave' capture card. The new system is AJA Kona. I opened and changed timeline settings for many projects and they worked. This project the option fails. If I open a timeline this appears: "Error: Out of memory". The error also happens when I try to open video in the viewer. I noticed there are some videos in the SD 720x480 format that I am not able to open within FCP. Yet, I see them in Quicktime. I have saved the project with a new name in the current FCP format. All updates are current.
    What is the diagnosis?
    Thanks,
    Jason

    ummm....
    I'll have to check that Monday. I'm actually at home. The problem is at the work computer.
    I will check then and report back.
    Please look if I need help then.
    Thanks,

    > We are getting an error (about the error - system say out of memory) and when we referred to the messages in the SAP BPC forum, few have provided solution asking to shrink the log file size.

    This is for Microsoft SQL Server, not for Oracle.
    If you get "out of memory" it's not a database logfile problem but a memory problem.
