Error: out of memory.. please help

it's been a while since I posted, But I am in dire need of some help.
I run the latest FCP on a powermac g5 quad. 2.5 Ghz, 4 CPU , 1MB L2 cache per CPU, 1.25 bus speed, 2GB ram.
I shot and edited an HDV corporate video. Its been done for a while, after a number hours of trial testing, I got my project compressed and put it on a DVD and produced 500 copies. MY client is happy.
the question
I am a new editor and gaining experience everyday. Its time that I clear my Hard drive of this massive project. the video ended up being 40 minutes, with lots of cuts, and lots of livetype graphics for lower thirds and graphic boards.
I am trying to "print to video" my timeline back to my camera so I can save it. as I don't need all this footage on my hard drive.
SO...
1) how do most of you guys backup your stuff? I want to send my HDV sequence back to my Z1U, and probably make some quicktime movies to keep on my computer. if i do that can i edit from that in the futrue? for things like making a demo reel or incase i need to burn more DVDs. I don;t want to erase anything until i know im safe.
2) when i select print to video... it takes quite a long conforming process which i understand happens. but when it is done after like 2 hours.. i get the error message : out of memory.
my computer is fairly new and i don't know why it is doing this.
i was thinking does the sequence im doing have to be less then the 2 g of ram to have to work? i really don't understand. i just want to send my sequence back to my camera.
again.. i know there is a lot of questions.. but ive spent the last 2 days reading books and doing searches and can't find any answers.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks mike... i checked and i dont have any cmyk... only .ipr
jsut from what i've read you should back up back to your camera as well. Just to have that on tape incase my hard drives crash
I could have done a better job capturing, but where im doing so from my z1u. I didnt want to wear out my heads. So i deselected create new clip on timecode breaks. So what I did was capture the entire tape.. then I went back and made subclips. Would i still be able to use media mangaer then? or am i screwed because the subclips i dont need are still connected to the master clips which i need for the subclips that i edited from? hahah thats a tounge twister. yah i think it was like 7-8 gigs worth of a project.

OUT OF MEMORY PLEASE HELP!!

I have a Mac book Pro with 120 Gigs of HD space and I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 30gigs memory just for Lightroom catalogs of all my clients. I am out of memory for storage, but need to a access my client catalogs periodically. What can I do???

holy bullet,
Not to be pedantic, but you're talking about
storage
NOT
memory here, as your subject line suggested. You might have 2Gb of memory in your computer, but your storage capacity is 120Gb (your hard disk drive).
As John said, you either need to buy an external hard drive with more capacity and move your catalog(s) there, or upgrade your internal hard drive. The latter option will probably cost you less money (per gigabyte of storage) and time, while giving you better growth options in the future. Recommendations I've seen suggest choosing an external drive that uses high-speed Firewire, rather than USB, for better performance and stability. John's suggestion of offloading the smaller client catalogs to the external drive sounds excellent.
If you do create a new catalog for a client, then import those photos, be sure to remove them from your main catalog so you don't chew up additional space needlessly (and cause confusion).
Good luck

Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions
1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode
4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode
5. iOS- Understanding passcodes
6. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.

"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.

"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,
Jason

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.

Final Cut Pro Error: 'out of memory'/'general error' on export

I'm trying to export a simple timeline from FCP but keep getting Final Cut Pro Error: 'out of memory'/'general error'. Exporting 5 sec timeline (yes, just a short trailer) via Quicktime conversion H264 at 1080. Strangely, if I export exactly same timeline at 720 its fine. Original media ProRes422 1080.
Have exported at 1080 before ok. No nested files involved; re-connected all media; no JPEGs involved; plenty of memory (all of which i have heard can be issues).
Any advice please as i've read all of the FAQs and nothing helping so far?!
Spec: New MacPro 12-core; 12 MB ram; 2TB drive; FCP7

Thanks for workflow clarity Shane, but when you export as self-contained QT movie, what do the 'Current Settings' refer to? Is this the current settings of your (source media in) timeline (ie in my case Pro Res 422) or the last settings used by the export? Apparently 'If you deselect the Recompress All Frames option and choose Current Settings from the Setting pop-up menu, Final Cut Pro simply copies frames from existing media files into the new file with no recompression.' But when i did this I got a 994.1 MB QT movie, which, when i got 'more info' told me MPEG-2 Video (?!) Apparently a compressed file when its supposed to be uncompressed (?!) When i exported manually setting to Pro Res I got 6.77 GB. Clearly uncompressed Apple ProRes 422 (HQ). Do i have to manually set settings to Pro Res to match my source media and ensure i get an uncompressed file? Im searching boards to get some clarity on this too: all references so far advise using 'current settings' but dont actually say what they are.

I need help with XML Gallery Fade in out transition. somebody please help me :(

I need help with XML Gallery Fade in out transition. somebody please help me
I have my post dont want to duplicate it

The problem doesn't lie with your feed, although it does contain an error - you have given a non-existent sub-category. You need to stick to the categories and sub-categories listed here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#categories
Subscribing to your feed from the iTunes Store page work as such, but the episodes throw up an error message. The problem lies with your episode media files: you are trying to stream them. Pasting the URL into a browser produces a download (where it should play the file) of a small file which does not play and in fact is a text file containing (in the case of ep.2) this:
[Reference]
Ref1=http://stream.riverratdoc.com/RiverratDoc/episode2.mp3?MSWMExt=.asf
Ref2=http://70.33.177.247:80/RiverratDoc/episode2.mp3?MSWMExt=.asf
You must provide a direct link to the actual mp3 file. Streaming won't work. The test is that if you paste the URL of the media file (as given in the feed) into the address bar of a browser it should play the file.

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"

"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.

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.

Receiving "Not Found" - then "Error:Out of Memory" trying to open Sequence

I have received a FCP Project edited in 2009 from the UK and have pulled the project file onto my workstation and all of the media onto an ext HD. I have also reconnected all of the media. However, when I try and open one of the Sequences in the project - I receive the following error "Not Found" then once I click off of that a second error "Error:Out of Memory". All of the other sequence in the project open fine.
Initially, I was able to open the original project file and open the sequence - but when I tried to copy the sequence & paste into a new project-I would receive the errors. Now I am receiving the same errors in the original project.
At first I thought it might be an problem with the computer but I have tried this on two different work stations /computers so I don't think it would be a prefs ( trash preferences) issue. Also footage was first on an XRAID and then I brought it to an external HD, so I don't think it had anything to do with permission issues.
This sequence is critical that I am able to get to it as it is part of a TV episode, so I would very much appreciate any help / advice on fixing this problem ASAP!
Thanks!

p.s. having looked at other posts, perhaps I am missing some (or all) of the relevant codecs?
In the folder Macintosh HD > Library > Quicktime
there is basically nothing. Do you think this is the problem?
If so, where do I download FCP codecs from?
Many thanks..

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.. please help
