Final Cut Pro 7 error message (out of Memory)

I have an 8 core 6 gigs of ram. My mac is configured for HD video using XDCam footage.
I get a message that I am out of memory. 26:30 program and I have a lot of filters on my footage.
Can you tell me how I can release my memory? Conrol Command P R?
Can some help me with this?

I have a few times ... strangely enough, when rendering to another internal drive with plenty of space, but the boot drive was 98% full (not my system). When you have too little free space on the boot drive (which the system uses for temp and swap files), all sorts of wonky things start happening, and not just in FCP so I suggested checking that since MtD had already covered the graphics issue.
But you are correct; the error message is usually the result of importing an improper file format or still image not to proper specs. With still images, it can happen not only with CMYK color mode images, but also with images in Grayscale or Indexed color modes.

Final Cut Pro 7 - Rendering (OUT OF MEMORY)

I'm trying to render a project, but it says I am out of memory, but I have over 1tb avalible in space and 32 gigs of memory.
what's the deal? thanks for the help in advance!

Do you have still images in your project?
Make sure that they are in RGB color space. Images in CMYK or Grayscale will cause this error.

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.

Final cut pro error " operation couldnt be completed" while trying to burn a dvd

Nothing besides "operation couldn't be completed?" No error message?

When i try to play a movie in final cut pro it comes out black

when i try to play a movie in final cut pro it comes out black thanks jt i have
version 10.00

Open the movie in the QuickTime player and report exactly what it says in the movie inpstecor. It's probably not in a spce that FCP supports.

TS4522 I have a finished project, but Final Cut Pro has grayed out the export option. How do I fix this to upload my file to youtube and burn dvds?

Hi guys, I really need help trying to figure out why Final Cut Pro will not allow me to export my project. I have done this in the past and had no problems at all with other projects, and I have done nothing different from what i can tell. Any help???

Hey Tom,
Thankyou for your help. No, I have done this and it does not work. I have tried clicking and dragging, selecting the file in the project library, selecting individual files etc etc etc. The only thing that may have helped me out was last night...I clicked on a tab in FCP on the far right side (that must have something to do with exporting as well) and a small screen popped up after clicking it stating i cannot export the file while it is still referencing media off of the camera. I dont understand this either? I do have to have my camera connected before FCP will RECOGNIZE the media clips, but they have all been imported to my external hard drive and once i click import from camera, it is complete within seconds, so the hundreds of video clips i am using are obviously saved on there somewhere already....im at a loss here as to what to do. Do i have to literally download ALL MEDIA in each project to my computers hard drive before final cut pro will allow me to export any of the projects i create?? This seems like such backward thinking...I dont have nearly enough room on my computers intenal memory to do this with all my video clips!!!

I just bought Final Cut Studio, now Final Cut Pro X came out. Can I get a refund on Final Cut Studio now that it is obsolete?

I think this is so bad on Apple's part. I just bought Final Cut Studio, and now they release Final Cut Pro X. Apple keeps a veil of secrecy about the release of their products, but if I had known Final Cut Pro X would have integrated the main Final Cut Studio components I would have waited. How could anybody have predicted an App from the App Store would integrate 3 of the extensive components of Final Cut Studio? I am ticked off that I spent $1000 for FCS, and now Final Cut Pro X basically makes it obsolete! Is it possible that Apple will offer a refund for Final Cut Studio, since really they should not have been selling it so close to the release of Final Cut Pro X?

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I am more at peace of mind that there may be a market now that Final Cut Studio is off the shelves. Basically I bought Studio to ramp up my video making abilities from iMovie for promoting my son's adaptive skiing. Studio gave a lot of great functionality for me, but I also bought FCP X and it has most of what I need. I had thought that there was no way to have the rest of the Studio (Motion, Color, Soundtrack Pro) in FCP X unless you had the full Studio before hand. Some Apple folks thought similarly to me, which is why I dropped the grand on it. Now I found that Color and the Soundtrack piece are integrated into FCP X. I was baffled. I am still not clear on what I can do with the full Studio that I cannot do with FCP X? As with any new software release there are bugs at first. I am guessing that if I ride out the bugs much of the functionality from the Full Studio will be in FCP X (and Motion and Compressor Apps), thus making the Studio eventually obsolete, since the 64 bit and full use of my Quad Core Processor is definitely one step up, with some of the other step downs. I mean, check out what Conan's team has done!

Mpg files put into final cut pro 6 come out blurry in Quicktime export.

I'm a noob. I'm trying to make a compilation of mpg files. My students created animations in Blender. I want to put a video together to showcase their talents.
Everything I've tried with FCP 6 and mgs come out blurry.
Mpg Dimensions are 640 x 480. Codecs: MPEG2 Muxed
Should I be working in 720x480?
Thanks

You can't really use MPEG 2 files in Final Cut Pro -it's not an editing codec.
A list of compatible codecs can be found in FCP's Easy Setup menu.
Is MPEG 2 the only export option from Blender? I'm am not familiar with the product.

How do I fix Error Message = Out Of Memory Could Not Install or Delete Data"

I have looked all over the internet and there is a lot of discussion about WHY this happens and a lot of discusion about what to do in the future to avoid this from happening.
I need help with specific steps on how to delete the static image that is stuck on my desktop. The image is large and covers most of my screen. I have shut down, unplugged, let the machine rest....started up several times. Not working.
The error reads "OUT OF MEMORY - COULD NOT INSERT OR DELETE DATA"
Thanks!

Probably you are running out of disk space. Can you interact with your Mac at all, or is the error message preventing you from using Finder windows?
I'd try to boot into Save Mode: This will only load a rudimentary version of Max OS X, needing less space, and will clean some caches. The Start Up will tale longer, however.
When in Save Mode try to empty the Trash and to free as much disk space as you can, by deleting files.
How much free disk space do you have right now?
See:
http://www.wikihow.com/Start-Your-Mac-in-Safe-Mode
If you cannot access the FInder to free disk space, even in Save Boot Mode, post back.

Final cut pro using all of my memory

So I have the latest version of Mavericks (as of late July) and the latest version of Final Cut Pro (10.1.2). Now I am creating a short film for my Extension English major work and I am editing with Final Cut Pro, the problem that I am having is that the program keeps using up all of my memory under the "other" field. My "Other" usage is weighing in at around 60GB as of now. I do own a 2TB harddrive and my MacBook is 120GB (with HSC documents that I need to keep or else my future as a human is basically pointless).
How am I able to continue editing my project without using all of my memory. is there an autosave switch i need to turn off, is there a problem with my software!?!?
Please help!

You really need to get an external drive – Thunderbolt, USB3, or Firewire 800 – depending on the vintage of your machine. And you should get a second external for backup. (Sorry to be spending your money for you, but it's important; drives fail – both spinning drives and SSDs.)
Put your media, and your libraries on the external drive. You can drag the libraries you have now to the new drive, working in the Finder, with FCP closed,. Before you do that, it's a good idea to select the libraries and use the Consolidate Library Files command. WHen you drag a library to another drive, it will be copied. Before you trash the duplicate libraries on the boot drive, open the new libraries to make sure they work properly.
Good luck.

New iMac and Final Cut Pro Error

Just got a new 20" iMac. It comes with a ATI Radeon XT graphics card. I used Migration to transfer all apps and files from my old 17" iMac G4. When I launch Final Cut on the new iMac I get the following configuration error message:
This software requires certain hardware or software which is missing. AGP graphics card.
Re-installing Final Cut from disc gives the same message.
Anyone have any suggestions? If this iMac doesn't work with Final Cut I will be taking it back immediately.
Thanks

For anyone else that is having problems with FCP 4/4.5 then check this out
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/feedback/finalcut_pro_on_oldmacs.html
I posted my problem over in the FCP discussions and someone gave me this link which works perfectly.
Instead of deleting the strings that are listed, there is one for an AGP graphics cards:
<key>AELRequiredIOPCIDevice</key>
<string>AGP</string>
just delete those two lines and save the file and you're set. You'll have to do this for both FCP and Compressor, I"m not sure about Cinema Tools b/c I don't have it loaded on my mac so you may want to check that out.

HP LaserJet 2100tn, Error message: "out of memory"

When I'm printing, an error message appears after printing the first page: "out of memory". My printer has 40MB of memory. I tried to change the printer settings for several time (8MB RAM, ..., over 30MB), but no result. The pages I want to print are from FileMakerPro.
I tried also to make a pdf file and to print, same result: first page o.k. then error message.
Thanks a lot for your answers.

Every time I open After Effects CC 2014 I get an error message "Out of Memory. ( 23 :: 40 )"

I don't even have a project open when it pops up. I have tried updating, un-installing and re-installing, restarting my computer, and clearing my cache files. Any help?
I am using a Macbook Pro with 10.10.2 installed. 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB of RAM, and Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB Graphics.

What version of CC 2014?
Does this happen immediately when you launch AE? At what point in the process does it pop up?

Final Cut Pro X looks out of place in yosmite

In yosmite fcpx looks really weird... Its icon and overall design hasn't been updated for yosmite

for about 13years now, we are used to the 'candy bubbles' upper left … so, 'weird'? Seriously? …hmmm?
And, indeed, FCPX hasn't yet got its cosmetic overhaul …
But I dare to say, the average cliiental of FCPX has other criteria for a pro-app than 'Aqua vs. flat' …
I prefer 'internal' updates first - and there, the team around Randy performs incredible well!
