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.

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 problem using the API

Hi all,
I need your assistance, we are working with CDB 10.2 making searches and retrieving the documents with all their attributes.
In our actual scenario we have a single user (which represents an application) accessing CDB. This user use several persistent sessions simultaneously. I mean, several thousands of final users connect to an application that uses one user of CDB to connect to CDB with several persistent sessions.
To simulate this scenario we wrote java code that open five threads and make several searches (requesting all the attributes) using the same user on cdb.
Retrieving a considerable amount of data found on the search (~5000), we found a “Out of memory” problem when we made these tests:
-     5 threads obtaining 100 documents (and all their attributes) / search
-     1 thread obtaining 500 documents (and all their attributes) / search
-     Also we have same problem if we make several searches with less results
We suppose it’s a configuration or code issue so we ask for your assistance and experience to solve it.
Thanks for your help,
Dani

Flex 4 RichEditableText out of memory problems

Hello, we're conducting performance testing on the UI of a productivity application we're developing using Adobe AIR. We are using Flash Builder 4 public beta. One part of the performance test is updating the textFlow property of a RichEditableText control every 5 seconds with random data that contains several paragraphs and several images (to mimic a typical news article). We used TextFlowUtil.importFromString(str) to convert the raw data to a textFlow object.
We found that the above test with the RichEditableText control would quickly crash the AIR runtime with presumably out-of-memory problems. If we switch to using the (read-only) RichText control, the problem went away. The only material difference between the two controls we could find in the documentation is that the RichEditableText control supports unlimited undo/redos as long as it retains focus. Could this be the source of the memory problem? Regardless, can its behavior be modified to avoid the out-of-memory problems?
The use case we are trying to simulate is having the productivity app open for weeks at a time, with constant editing and going back and forth between different workflows.
Thanks for your help, and please let me know if you need additional information

Try a more recent build.

Advice needed: The way to solve out of memory problem (or the way to work with big csv files)

Hello:)
I'm in trouble: I have a big csv file (over 5gb of web-analytics data) and my 64 bit excel (and 6gb ram)
I cant load file to data model because of it's size. There is an error "out of memory" in power query.
This is the first time when I encountered such a problem.
What options do I have to work with such a file? To increase memory in my computer? Would it solve the problem? How much do I need to work with 6gb csv?
Or may be I can upload my data somewhere to azure and work with it there?
So the problem - is there any way to deal with big files using power query? Or I need to become a developer and learn sql or other languages?
Thanks in advance.
Max

Hi Miguel!
Thanks for your answer.
I've tried to load this file on virtual pc from azure cloud with this config:
I have increased memory limit in power query settings:
And still, the proble is the same:

More "out of memory" problems FCE2

Hi,
Last week I was experiencing "dropped frame" error messages on FCE2. As suggested by Ian R., I printed my project onto video and my "dropped frame" problem immediately went away. But then it came back. Now, along with the "dropped frame" messages, I'm also getting "general error" and "out of memory".
Any new suggestions? Do I need to go out and purchase more memory?
My project is fast-moving piece, LOADED with special effects, audio effects, dissolves, text, etc.
I have an iMac G5 with 512 MB DDR SDRAM
Any ideas?
Thank you

Ok, please bear with me, I'm not exactly the biggest computer whiz...I'm more of an old school television person who's learning the computer ropes.
Are you suggesting I get something extra to use on my LaCie Ext. HD? or just get something totally different? The wire on my LaCie plugs into a port on my iMacG5 that is rounded on one end, not flat.
If you go to this web page is has details about my LaCie Ext. HD:
http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=102650&ps=ho9&affili ate=dealnews
It has FireWire: 2x FireWire connectors (6 pins) and it says it offers fast data transfer rates (up to 400Mbits/s) for transferring home videos from a camcorder.
On another note: I've been able to get the other channel of audio by capturing it on my internal hard drive, copying it onto my external hard drive and then importing it into FCE2. It's a pain-staking process that is taking up lots of time and room on my internal HD. That's why I got the ext. HD.

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.

Out of Memory problem at large IDocs (HRMD_A.HRMD_A06)

Hello,
we need help at the following problem:
We send HRMD_A.HRMD_A06 IDocs in a IDOC->XI->IDOC Scenario.
In this scenario there is a small graphical Mapping. When
we send 100 Idocs, after 15 - 30 Minutes all queues are stopped and the error "Out of Memory" is showing.
We have configured that Large IDocs are running in own queues (Max. 3 parallel), but the error is still there.
Only Solution this time is to restart the queues repeatly and at anytime the Idocs are all going through.
Has anyone a idea what we can do ?
Regards,
Christian

Thanks for answers,
now after 15-30 Minutes a new Error shows:
"Timelimit Overstepped" - In German Original "Zeitlimit Überschritten".
and all Queues stopped.
What can i do ?

Out of memory Problem

Hello everyone !
I've developped a Brain Training application for Japan with
the french version of Director MX 2004.
To display Japanese texts, I have used embedded Flash movies
which contains a Japanese font.
This program is on the market for a few weeks now, and some
users have experienced a "memory shortage" problem : When the
application starts, they get a director player error message saying
something like "out of memory" in Japanese.
Click
Here for the exact message.
This has got to be linked with loading into memory many Flash
movies, because I have never had this kind of message in my many
other applications which do not use Flash movies to display texts.
This error has not appeared in the testing process on many
computers in Japan and France, and now that the product is out, I
need to find a solution
These users have decent computers : Windows XP SP2, 1.6 Ghz
processor, 512Mb RAM, plenty free memory and even more virtual
memory available.
This error is not due to a lack of available memory on the
system : I have checked the memory usage and there is lots of free
memory.
I have found a function called getError() to check if an
error occured while loading the Flash member into memory, but it is
not clear what is the reason of such a memory error, and it doesn't
say what happens if this error is not intercepted with this
function : Does a message pops up ?
Did somebody ever saw this error message ?
Anybody knows the reason of such an error ?
Also, could somebody explain this getError function more
precisely ?
I would really appeciate any help with this issue !!
Thank you,
Carl.

Out Of Memory Problem With Creator 2

Dear Community,
I'm having a strange problem with JSC2. I have a not so big project (15 pages, more or less). I added a new page, and it raised a NullPointerException. Then the IDE stopped showing the outline window when selecting the Design View, and started to show Out of Memory Errors (java heap).
At this time the IDE refuses to start. It gets stuck in the splash screen window, when appears the "opening main window" message. Then "java.exe" process starts to eat RAM up to the limit set in -Xmx startup switch. No matter how high I set this value, it will be taken, always showing the "Out of Memory (java heap)" error dialog. I have 1 Gb of RAM.
It seems like a memory leak, but I suspect about corruption of either userdir or the project.
Any hint will be welcome.
Thank you in advance.
Antonio.

Got this before , it could be something to do with a dead Data Source.
How i fixed the problem was to delete the following folder.
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\.Creator\2_0
Make sure you delete the .Creator folder not Creator
Before you delete this folder make a backup of content.xml
and jdbc-drivers folder so you dont ahve to and paste the back in once creator and recreate the folder
So basically delete the folder , start creator and leave rebuild close and paste the files back into folder.
Obviusly this is a drastic measure and your defaults will be set back to factory. But by keeping the backed up files as above you will not need to set up your datasources again. Perform at your own risk. Worked for me may not for you

WLS 8.1 SP6 out of memory problem

Hi, I just upgraded the weblogic server 8.1 from SP5 to SP6. After the upgrade, 2 applications keep getting out of memory error. I turned on the -verbosegc to see the heap used and it seems that the application seems to be taking up more heap space in SP6 than SP5. And the heap size keep increasing a lot over time when the application is in idle (meaning no access to the application) for SP6. Below are the GC output that I captured for SP5 and SP6. Anyone encounter the same problem or is able to shed some light on my problem?
Thanks.

I have not figured out what this issue was. For now I schedule to restart the server instance every morning to prevent the out of memory error.
Do hope that someone can shed some light on why this is happening.

JDBC ResultSet out of memory problem with Scrollable one

Hey guys,
I'm facing the following problem when accessing an Oracle 10g database over oracle jdbc driver 1.4.
I need to access the rows of a resultset (millions of rows) at least twice. Forward only doesn't need much memory - but I can't do a rs.beforeFirst()
Switching to ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE gives me always an java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space exception after rs.next() and I can see the used memory constantly increasing.
Here is my test code:
conn = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:oracle:thin:@host:1521:ORCL", "user", "pass");
Statement my_stmt = conn.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE,
ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
ResultSet result = my_stmt.executeQuery("select * from stats_big");
System.out.println("Query back :)");
while(result.next()) { //here happens the error after 200 000 rows
//make statistics
//ask user what to do
result.beforeFirst();
while(result.next()) {
//apply function and deliver new values
conn.close();
Is the implementation caching all the already read rows in memory?
Any help would be great,
Alex

if and how there are ways to read a Resultset 2 or more times
forward-only and the data is not completelly cached on the client If the client reads a million rows, how can it read them a second time without either storing them somewhere on the client as in scrollable cursors, or rereading them from the server as in regular cursors. To me this looks like the laws of physics, rather than something that can be changed in a software release.
In order of preference I would
1. Not process a million rows on the client.
2. Use a regular cursor and fetch it twice, the second fetch will be faster as the database already caches as much of it as it can.
Fetching that much data somewhere is going to take some time anyway, which is why I prefer the first option..

How to avoid flash player out of memory problems

hi all,
when i am running my swf file i am getting the message saying
that " flash script causes flash player run slowly do u want abort
script ". even it's not the problem of infinite loop.in that i am
passing huge data.
please help me how to avoid this situation.

It is not apparent from your posting, but if you are parsing
large amounts
of XML data you could be faced with this issue if not just a
general
performance issue.
Solution is look at how to consume the data in smaller
pieces. In other
words only download the needed data to deal with the
immediate needs of the
Flash movie and based on user interaction load additional
data. A possible
drawback is where user interaction required the data
instantly such as
rollovers for large numbers of objects.
Another solution is look at streamlining the data such as
reducing nested
levels in XML.
Finally you may have an infinite loop that depends on the
data. With test
data the code runs fine, however certain values trigger an
indefinite loop.
I am working with a few large corporate clients and the
mentality of dumping
data in large vats to the client does not take into
consideration the
technology and performance. It should be the other way round
-- know the
capacity of the technology which is the Flash player.

Final solution to being out of memory?

Hey,
I have searched all over this forum and found this basically.
We all love FCP, but since the lovely men in S.F. didn't think of 64-bit, people with brand new computers (like myself) are stuck in a ditch covered in petrol.
We have all this power and can not use it.
So what is the moste simple way to get around the "out of memory" problem. And scaling down footage is not an option. All footage is ProRes 422 and shoot with a 5d Mark II using magic lantern (so the bitrate is slightly higher that usual)
Carl

So what is the most simple way to get around the "out of memory" problem
The simple solution would be to add more memory. If by "memory," you're referring to hard drive space, hard drives are relatively cheap these days so it shouldn't cost much to greatly increase space. If you mean RAM, then you should be able to add RAM as needed.
But you really need to identify what's actually causing you to get these warnings. For example, one of the most common causes is using still images that are in the wrong color mode (not the same as color space). Images must be in RGB color mode - not Grayscale, CMYK or Indexed.

Out of Memory error on some PDF's, not all PDF's.

Hi there,
I have read most of the posts in the forums that relate to 'Out of Memory' issues with PDF's and I have to say that there is still no solution that I have found.
I have tried reinstalling Adobe Reader, Flash Player and tried clearing my Temp Files. None of these fixed the issue.
The PDF's that receive this memory error are downloaded off a CMS website that has many offices and logins. Only one office is experiencing this out of memory issue so we know that it is not an issue with generating the PDF's on the CMS website, otherwise all the offices and logins would have this issue, since they use the same system.
I am an admin of that CMS website and even I receive the same out of memory issue when I try and view the PDF's from that office, as the customer does.
When we open these PDF's with another PDF reading program, the PDF's open fine. So that tells me that the issue lies with Adobe Reader and not the PDF file itself.
These PDF files that are receiving the error about 1MB-4MB, so they are not large.
Could you please tell me the solution to this out of memory error as we may lose a customer because your product is producing an error that does not seem to have been fixed after years of being reported by your customers.
Thanks.

As an Adobe Reader XI user, if I may put my two cents in, that "Out of Memory" problem is not with the Adobe Reader XI application, which was installed on our computers! I think, the problem is with how the PDF documents, which we were trying to open, were generated (or regenerated).
I remember I was able to open my old credit card statement online without any problem and now I am not able to open the same old statement (out of memory) because it could have been regenerated! In fact, I could not open any of my credit card statements (old or new) on this specific credit card web site, which makes me believe those statments were regenerated or somthing with some new Adobe software.
As others mentioned, even I'm able to view other PDF documents without any problem.

Out of memory message in the audio window

i finally updated my studio software from logic6 whilst still using the protools HD 192 interface.
i updated the OS to leopard and installed logic 7 and updated the software for everything.(atmosphere,bfd,stylus,autotune etc).
not only did many of the apps not work (after downloading all their relevant updates)but when i recorded audio no waveform appeared.
however reloading the session DID make the waveform reappear.
in the audio window the audio file had no location but a message saying 'out of memory'.
hitting 'refresh overview' after recording helped but ultimately does not fix the issue.(also the system stutters when 'dropping in'on a recording)
i then bought the logic 8 upgrade hoping it would magically resolve the issue and..same problem.grrr.
protools 8 ,on the other hand,works like a dream.(additionally all the apps mentioned above work smoothly too).
what am i missing?

my friend figured the 'out of memory' problem was caused by running protools' latest version on the same drive as both logic 7 and logic 8.
he de-installed protools and re-installed and previous older protools version and the 'out of memory' issue (plus no visible waveform) in logic 7 and 8 was corrected.
do apple and digidesign grow ever further apart or is it a question of catch up for one or both?
