FCP 7.0.3 OUT OF MEMORY?!!

I bought a 12 core mac pro, 16gb ram and when I try to put an HD video clip into my viewer, I immediately get a pop up saying, 'General Error,' followed by 'Out of Memory.' The info on the video clips are as follows: 1920x1080 H.264 Compressor, 23.98
Does anyone know why I'm having this problem?
My OS is Lion, 2.66 processor, 4 bays w/2tb drives, Shouldn't I be able to easily process this video?

In FCP7, you can not edit H.264 video directly. Or rather you can try, but it will be a fairly painful experience. You should convert your source footage to an editable format such as ProRes prior to use in FCP. This is because H.264 is a heavily compressed Long-GOP codec.

What format are your sources and what are your sequence settings? I'd guess that you're working with h.264 material which is not fcp friendly. If so, use compressor to conver to prores422

FCP Out of Memory Problem

Hello. I am running Final Cut 5 on a G5 (a little over a year old) with 2Gig of RAM. I see that others have had this problem, but there are so many different solutions posted I don't know where to begin.
Let me go thru what I was doing. I was editing a sequence in a project I am working on. 99.9% video, and two images... I exported a frame from the video and then dragged it and dropped it from the desktop to the timeline. I was working to apply an 8 point garbage matte to the still picture (i applied it, started messing with it, and then I deleted the matte and started over by trying to reapply the matte) when it popped up with a "cannot complete operation" popup. When I clicked ok, it said "Out of memory". I click ok and the monitor window in FCP turned red and said that I needed to close that window and reopen it so I could continue working. I close it, reopen and try to apply my matte. It lets me drop the filter on the picture, but would not give me the controls to edit it.
Now, I have 160gigs of space left on the hard drive so I am curious.
So I quit the program, restart the computer, and run the Render Manager. I can open Final Cut Pro, I can open the project. However, I cannot open the sequence I was working on. It tells me it cannot complete the opperation, and then it says it is out of memory.
I checked my picture that I was using in that sequence, and it is in RBG color.
Any help you guys can offer would be appreciated.

Dodge This
I've no direct experience of this problem (and I just tried to replicate it and mine worked fine) but I know it would help those who are in a position to help you, if you'd give a load more detail about your system, what other programmes you were running at the time and what verion of FCP you are using etc etc.
See the notes included at the bottom of this post and don't take the last line personally - it's not intended for you!
Good luck!

"Out of memory" error on return to FCP

Hey guys,
I have just finished color correcting and rendering a feature film in Color. It took about 15 hours to render the thing. Upon sending the project back to FCP when I click to view the sequence there a pop-up comes that says "General Error" followed by another that says "Error: Out of memory". There is plenty of space on both the internal an external Hard Drives and I have plenty of memory. I am using a MBP 15" 2.2GHz w/ 2GB RAM. Anybody else experience something similar? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Tried both options here. Memory is at 100% and I upped the cache allowed too. When importing the XML it does come up with one more pop-up saying "WARNING: Non-critical errors were found when processing an XML document. Would you like to see a log of these errors now?"
The log is as follows:

FCP 6 Sequence not opening, "out of memory"

Hi,
I'm running FCP 6.0.6 on a 2010 Macbook Pro with 8gb ram, 500gb int hd and 1tb ext hd. OS is 10.6.8. I don't see the canvas or timeline when I start FCP and when I click on sequence I get "error-out of memory". I have deleted all projects and everything I could find from old work. I used a ram checking program and checked disk permissions all seemed ok. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris

#44: FCP acting weird - Trash Prefs
Shane's Stock Answer #44: FCP acting weird or unusual. Just not like is normally should
If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion: http://www.digitalrebellion.com
2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3) Shut down for 10 min. Go for a quick walk around the block and get SOME exercise today. Come back, turn on the computer and see how things are.
4) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.

FCP - Out of Memory Error in 10.6.6

Running a MacBook Pro 17" (A1261) and while I edit, I got a "Out of Memory" Error and an "Invalid Operation". Can't reopen the sequence on my MacBook but it opens with no problem on a Mac Pro.
Gonna re-install the OS and see if that helps.

I just had something very similar happen. A sequence that I've been editing for over a month now no longer opens (since installing the 10.6.6 update) I'm getting the same "out of memory" and I/O error codes.
I'm at a loss what to do. Other editing projects open fine. But so far I haven't been able to open
any of the project files I've vaulted from the last six weeks.
Does anyone have any idea what changes 10.6.6 might have made to cause this and how
it could be rectified. I really need to get back into my project file.

"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 message when trying to view a clip

Hi, when I'm trying to view a clip in the viewer for any of my projects, it comes up with an error message saying "out of memory" Now, it's like this whenever I'm trying to view any clips from any of my projects after I double click on the clip or sequence. Then, after the error message comes up and I hit ok the viewer goes down. I just recently bought an external hard drive, and put my final cut in my new HD. I have more than enough space. And this was the main reason I decided to by a new HD, because my actual system on my mac does not have enough space. Please help as this issue is really bothering me. Thanks.

The applications themselves (fcp, motion, soundtrack pro, dvdsp color) want to reside on your system drive. You can however putt all the auxilliary stuff on the other drive: livetype templates, soundtrack pro stuff)

Final Cut Pro 6 - 'Out of Memory/Error Code'

Hey All,
I'm in the final stages of editing a documentary and I keep running into an 'Out of Memory' error code in Final Cut Pro 6.0 when trying to export a reference file. The finished film is 81 minutes long and contains 19 sequences. I have all 19 sequences nested in a main sequence of a seperate FCP project file, so I'm not wasting any memory on clips or additional backups of sequences. This Nested sequence is the only sequence that exists in this 'other' project file. All of the photos used are under 4k resolution and are RGB. Even the lower thirds are animation QT's with alphas. Any thoughs would be greatly appreciated.
Nick
System Specs:
Quad-Core 2GHZ MacBook Pro
4GB DDR3 Memory
MAC 10.7.2 (Lion)
FCP v6.0.6

First troubleshooting step
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2491
If that doesn't solve the problem, you may have a corrupt sequence
Try creating a new sequence with the same settings and copy the contents from the problematic sequence
If that doesn't work. Mark an in and an out for the first half of the sequence and do an export. If that works, mark an in and an out for the second half and export. Keep narrowing down the sections til you find the problematic clip.

Error message: 'Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card' - then - 'Error. Out of memory'

Hi all. This is a new error I've never seen before.
It's stopping me doing anything at all really.
As soon as I start up FCP and click on a sequence I get this message: 'Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card.'
Then I click on OK and it says 'Error - Out of memory.'
I've heard rumours that it could be the fact I'm using a strange type of JPEG, but it still happens with PNGs.
I've made sure my scratch disks are all going to the right place. I also have 100gb of free space.
The version of FCP I'm using is 6.0.5. I'm using an iMac with OSX 10.4.11 (yes, I know it's old!) and I've downloaded the latest version of Quicktime.
Help, anyone? I have an assignment due in tomorrow.
Many 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..

Out of memory error to view AVI files

Hi everyone,
I've imported 6 AVI files from the same source into the browser. All work fine except for 2 of them. When I click on those files in the browser to preview them in the viewer, I receive 2 messages: the first one is 'general error', the second 'out of memory'. What strikes me is that in the browser, the duration marks 0 although the files are respectively 4MB and 1,6MB. I've compared them to the 4 others and they are similar. Any idea would be welcome. Many thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum!
AVI files don't work with FCP. FCP is based in Quicktime. You will need to convert all you AVI files to an quicktime editing codec like ProRes or DV-NTSC You can find a list of editing codecs in FCP's Easy Setup. You can use Compressor to convert the files.

General Error Final cut__ Out of memory

I'm editing a short sequence were the footage is all h.264. When I import the footage to the bins and I try to open the clip in the canvas I get the message General Error and Out of Memory follows.
Why is this?
Below you can find the Clips info. The bottom four are the ones that give the error when opened.

Constant out of memory errors

I am consantly receiving out of memory errors in fcp 5.1. Now when rendering I have to split it up into sections to render so I dont get the error (eg - render 5 seconds of footage at a time)
My rendered files folder contains 203 files and I was wondering whether I could just delete all the files and then just re-render the project in one go - or will this just screw up the project?

If I delete all the rendered files, when I re-render will it make just the one render file? If so does this mean everytime I make a change in the project it will take longer to render as Final Cut will have to re-render the whole file?
