Export out of Motion uses all my Ram?

Why when I export out of Motion it uses all my Ram? Whether I have 6GB or 10GB of Ram it uses it all.
Then it starts all the page outs. Right now I am at 12GB of page outs.
From what I understood you should not have a lot of page outs thats why I purchased more Ram.

Well, as a bit rate, HDV has the same throughput as regular DV. The throughput for ProRes is higher so if you have a lot of multiclip angles, you'll need RAID speeds to run it.
However, HDV is a Long GOP format and as such is not really meant for editing, it's designed for file compression. Pro-Res is an intraframe codec. You can wiki the difference if you want to get into specifics, but the gist of it is that HDV requires a lot of processor power to uncompress the GOP structure, allow for editing and then rebuild the GOP structure on export. This is what makes HDV undesirable for editing. It also eats up a lot of what Motion uses to perform math for motion gfx.
If you're working with multiclips, and you have FCS 3, then you have access to the ProRes LT and Proxy codecs, both of which are high-quality/low bitrate codecs. I would convert the HDV to proxy or LT (whichever your system can handle), edit, and then batch re-digitize to the source tapes. However, I would want the high-rez source to be ProRes regular, not HDV.

You may not expressly be using all the RAM in your machine but OS X will, whether you know it or not.
Each time you read a file from disk, whatever was read is cached by the system; when the file or program is no longer in use, the memory is marked free for the system to recover for other purposes but as long as it remains in memory the next time you need to access that disk information it's simply read from memory.
The more RAM, the more disk data is kept around and the faster your machine will operate until that memory needs to be recovered or you reboot (or otherwise flush the disk cache.)

I am runnig Firefox 18.0.1 and the plugin-container is using all my ram, have tried altering dom.ipc.plugins to false but makes no difference. Any advice please

I am running Firefox 18.0.1 and the plugin-container is using all my ram, have tried altering dom.ipc.plugins to false but makes no difference. Any advice please

plugin-container.exe is used to run Flash and other plugins so if they crash they do not take down your main Firefox session. But... I don't think memory usage would be that different if you tricked Firefox into running Flash inside firefox.exe. (There was a thread with the trick, but I can't recall the details. It was not a regular Firefox setting.)

HT3918 Does Snow Leopard use all the ram installed, I know that Leopard didn't.

Does Snow Leopard use all the ram installed, 10 gigs in my case. Leopard didn't.

You should be OK with that much, however, besides the basic needs of the OS, it will depend on how many and which applications are open and how memory intensive they are. Someone might easily get away with 4GB and someone else might have trouble with 16GB.

Anyway to fully use all the ram in bootcamp?

is there anyway to fully use all the ram in bootcamp? where now only up to 2.17 usable from my 4gb ram in macbook pro or this is normal?
I'm using window 7 with 32bit.

Use the 64-bit Windows 7 to get the full amount of RAM.
It's a limitation of 32-bit Windows in conjunction with a limitation of Apples Boot Camp.

Subjects' faces look red from export out of Motion 4

Hello,
I am using Motion 4 and FCP 7 for a video project. When I export out of M4 into FCP 7, the subjects' face look reddish. I originally exported from FCP 7 into Motion 4 and added text and other graphics. When loading the video exported from Motion 4, I am having problems with the red faces. Any suggestions? Would appreciate your feedback.
Thanks,
Mike

This is a part of Final Touch that was lost when it got married to FCP as COLOR. The issue you now have is that COLOR doesn't actually create export lists, it modifies existing XMLs (and cut-lists) that are created at the time of SEND To... from FCP. I'm gathering you did a form of CMX 'import as cut-list' to get the media and event/clips into COLOR. And then there's no apparent way out.
If its a CMX-flow, it was probably a V1-only list, all cuts. If all the material was rendered back to 10-bit Uncompressed, then that media exists somewhere, all neatly tucked into individual folders numbered corresponding to their order in the cut list. In the old days, we would do a FinalGather which would herd all these clips into either a reference Quicktime or a folder where the clips were exposed in such a way that you could grab them all and drop them onto a Final Cut sequence. There are some automator scripts laying around here and there for pulling all the clips into a single directory... it'll take a bit of searching, or you can create your own.
If I'm on the right track with this, creating a new FCP timeline with the rendered media is as simple as selecting them all and dropping them on a new sequence, since they are oriented with names like 1_g1.mov, 2_g1.mov, and so on. Search for those with Finder if you haven't already, and then you'll know what to do. The tough part is that they, each individual clip, are all imbedded in their own folder which makes it a beeotch to wrangle them as a collection.

Trustedinstaller using all my RAM

I've had a laptop and a PC were I have done a reinstall from a recovery partition.
On both the system when I'm updating them the trustedInstaller.exe process has been using all of the RAM, and resulting in low memory errors.
If i install the updates bit by bit it isn't so bad. but is i install say 130 the ram hits max around the 100th update. on the laptop I've just done the process had 3,800,000KB committed ram and was only working 50,000KB, the computer only has 4GB in it
so it just maxed out and the updates would take 10x longer than they normally do.

Kernel for i686 which uses all 4GB RAM?

I've got i686 (x86) version of Arch installed. How can I make it use all my 4GB RAM? It just sees 3,3GB now. I know it's possible to use more than 4GB on 32-bit with some tweaks etc (I'm using 8GB on RHEL i386 servers at work), but how do I make it so in Arch?

True Ibertus but not apparent from the post.
An added observation is that the added PAE requires ram for addressing so the full 4GB is not accessible, about 3.5GB is useable. Thusly, the added 1GB is actually only a half GB and requires the 64g highmem mod to the kernel..required for every new upgrade.

Why does my memory max out at 70% (using iStat) @ 2x1GB RAM 667mhz

Hi,
I'm using iStat as a monitoring service and I have 2x1gb RAM installed and a 2.4 core2duo processor. I run multiple programs at once (Firefox, Dropbox, MS Office, iTunes) and my memory hovers around 71% all the time (it gets sluggish around 70%). It never has gone up or past 74%. I figure it should max out around 100% right? I recently upgraded to 2x2gb or 667 memory. Will I still have the same problem of hitting a threshold? How do I get rid of this ceiling? Thanks!

Hi bmose14,
I'm not entirely sure how iStat Pro monitors RAM (I always use Activity Monitor for that) but I know Snow Leopard changed how RAM is monitored. Previously in Leopard if you had, for example, 2GB of total RAM it would show that as available and then just immediately allocate the RAM that's being addressed by the GPU. But in Snow Leopard, I find that I have 1.75GB of total RAM (as it doesn't calculate the 256MB of VRAM my shared GPU is allocated).
I'm thinking you have the Intel GMA X3100 GPU (144MB of RAM) and as such that's being calculated here, in addition to the RAM being used by the programs and OS. With that being said, I don't think you can ever reach the 100% mark. I know I fired up iStat Pro on my machine (prior to responding) and I'm also hovering around ~80% despite Activity Monitor showing about the same as "green" in the pie chart.

Not using all the ram

Hi!
I"m wondering, I have FCE exporting a video while iMovie is importing one. I see that my Macbook is only using 750 mg of ram. How come it doesn't use the whole 2 gigs?

There are no options that cover RAM usage in the Energy Saver System Preferences. In fact, with a MacBook, you can't even select "better performance" usage of your processor. This functionality is built-in to the processor and there is no GUI for adjusting it in Mac OS X. So, there are no options you can configure to alter the amount of RAM used or not used with Mac OS X, it's all automatic.

My retina MBP using all its ram?

Hello,
My first gen 15" retina MBP is almost always out of its 8GB of memory (I notice by watching activity monitor). Usually only 60 or so MB is free
This occurs with rather plain usage - Chrome web browser, itunes, word, mail open on average
Activity Monitor lists:
kernal_task : 909MB, 101 threads
WindowServer : 378 MB, 6 threads
then mail, chrome, itunes, etc all taking normal amounts, 100MB each or so
Whenever I close some windows to free up memory, it is quickly refilled by I don't know what.
Is this strange behavior?
Thanks,
Grant

Mavericks is designed to use RAM more efficiently than prior OSXs. What you are observing is different from what you may have experienced but normal. If you see green, all is good.

Your RAM looks OK now. At some point over the past 20 days you we doing something that needed more than your 4 GB of RAM. Do you know what that might have been?
I suggest removing that antivirus and rebooting.

1 SQL instances with several archive Databases using all AWE RAM memory of server

Hello,
I just migrated my accounting system to a new SQL Server deployment of the software.
We just purchased the expensive SQL Server enterprise to accomodate.
I have some replicated databases to of lower priority that I put on the same instance that we occasionally query. I also imported a 70GB old archive DB that we on very rare occasions. We are not concerned about performance on these databases
as we are about the accounting DB on the same instance.
The MAX memory was set to unlimited on that instance. As soon as I put in this monster 70GB archived databases the AWE memory usage used up my full 30GB of RAM.
Is there a way to set the memory usage so the archive databases do not get loaded into the AWE but still the critical accounting system DB on the same instance is taken care of?
Or do I have to shell out another $3-6k for a separate instance? SQL Server Express has a 4GB limitation and one of the backup DB we don't really care about is 20GB replicated from Azure.

Hi,
>>70GB archived databases the AWE memory usage used up my full 30GB of RAM.
How did you checked that Archived database is using 30 G did you used sys.dm_os_buffer_descriptor.Do SQL server have locked pages in memory
SQL Server bring pages in memory if it is requested ,if you access Archived database heavily its bound to take memory but if yous top accessing it and access your other database SQL server will flush out pages of archive IF REQUIRED.
SQL server manages memory dynamically so I guess you do not need to worry
>>s there a way to set the memory usage so the archive databases do not get loaded into the AWE but still the critical accounting system DB on the same instance is taken care of?
No ,there is no way buffer pool is shared region

Photoshop isn't using all the ram that I have.

I recently installed 8gb of RAM into my Macbook Pro so i could increase the performance of Photoshop. Before using Photoshop, I increased the the "memory usage" slider up to 75% but after I do that, its only using 1gb worth of RAM. Am I doing something wrong?..I would appreciate of someone could help me out.

Did you double-check that you have not set it to run in 32bits mode? (right-click on the Photoshop CS5.app icon, select Get Info, and see if start in 32 bits mode is not checked.) http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/828/cpsid_82824.html

How to configure LR2 to use all installed RAM?

Hoping to find some answers here about a problem I'm having with Lightroom 2.7. First let me give you some details about the computer I'm running LR on.
PowerMac G5 1.8Ghz single PowerPC CPU
8 Gb RAM
Mac OS X 10.5.8
Lightroom 2.7
Photoshop CS4
The OS acknowledges that there is 8 Gb of RAM installed, but in Photoshop, I am unable to assign any more than 3072Mb of RAM as that's all that's being seen by PS as "available". I can't find a configuration in LR to adjust how much RAM the software can be assigned.
I was looking around for a fix on this yesterday and saw a mentioning of running the software in 64-bit mode, but I am unable to find where that is enabled/disabled. Can anyone steer me in the direction I need to go or am I just S.O.L and bought a bunch of RAM I can't use in Photoshop and Lightroom like I bought it for?
Thanks.

I expected this, actually. The version of OS X that ran on most G5s was not "64-bit clean." Meaning, only some aspects of the system were 64-bit, but it was not complete from user app to kernel. So you don't get full advantage of 64-bit.
Lr can see 4Gb of address space and use that. It will request as much or as little of that as it requires. Since you have so much physical memory it can do this without causing the rest of the system to swap.
