Force Premiere Pro to Use More Memory

Hello
Is there any way to force Premiere Pro to use more memory on a macbook pro?
I've got 8gb, but it's maxing out at 2gb....still have almost 4gb free not being used.
In my memory preference, I have 6 GB set to share between Premiere Pro and the encoder.
Thanks
Noel

It may be that that is all the memory that is needed for the current tasks. Consider that even when your system is working hard, it may not be the RAM the is the bottleneck. It may be that the hard disks, the buses, the CPUs, or the GPU is where the resources are maxed out.

Exporting from Premiere Pro CS4 using Media Encoder gets stop error

I am trying to export my timeline from Premiere Pro CS4, using the Adobe Media Encoder CS4 to export my timeline as an MPEG2 HDTV 1080 24, and it goes for about fifteen minutes then I get the blue screen and my computer restarts, telling me the program had a stop error. Is there a way to go around this step? Another method to get the mpeg2 without losing quality? Anything I can do?
Please offer any knowledge you have before I scream at my computer again.
Thank you

as I know Adobe products are buggy no matter what hardware you have.
I am sorry, but my experience has been the absolute opposite of what you have heard, or experienced. I have used many, many Adobe programs for almost 2 decades (maybe even more than 2 decades?), and have never observed such. I do have to admit that over those many years, I have always had a "state of the art" computer, but have made plenty of $ using Adobe software. Even with my now aging workstation, things work great. Time to upgrade though.
When troubleshooting issues, they shake out like this:
1.) system
2.) Assets
3.) Project
4.) OE
5.) Bugs
This is after troubleshooting Adobe issues from almost the time that PS hit the PC, when they were only NNTP, in what, 1985?
Now, I am not saying that your issue IS hardware, but only that that is the most likely issue, given a BSOD. Also, system is the #1 cause of issues, so that is where I start.
Good luck,

Does Premiere Pro 2 use graphics card for playback?

Does Premiere Pro 2 use graphics card for playback? I am using a 350W PSU, so my nVidia 6600GT runs in low-power mode, and my video playback in Premiere is choppy. The same .avi files play fine in a media player, so it can't be a disc issue I guess... Please advise, thank you!

Only the latest CS5 uses SELECTED card's GPU for video acceleration
>same .avi files play fine in a media player
Playback is not at all the same as editing
Use the FREE http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ to find out what codec is inside that AVI wrapper
Anything other than DV AVI type 2 with 48khz sound is not going to do well in Premiere

Frequent request to use more memory

I often am asked for permission for the site to use more (Safari) memory. It's annoying. What can I do to elimintae this annoyance? I've set "database storage" to 50 meg but the popup message thinks I have much less.
Mac OS10.5.8 I believe I have the latest update for the player as well.

Premiere freezing then using all memory

Hello everyone,
I'm experiencing a weird problem across multiple projects. First playback will lock up in premiere, I can move the playhead through the timeline but the program does not update and there is no sound. The program monitor is stuck on the frame I was on before it locked up. After a few seconds of this I get a "Your system has run out of application memory" message. I am running on a 2013 Mac Pro with 64gb of memory, so memory should not be an issue. I opened up the activity monitor while working and noticed around 15gbs of total memory was being used while premiere was working. But the minute it locked up, suddenly the total memory usage began to shoot up until it was at 64gbs and I got the message. In the activity monitor it tells me premiere is only using 10gbs of memory, but that can't be the case as the minute I quit the application it drops back down. The lock ups are random, but usually within the first five-ten minutes of working. I need a solution to this problem fast as this is happening on multiple projects across multiple machines and the projects are due soon. Any help would be greatly appreciated... The amount of bugs I have been experiencing with premiere lately is just mind boggling, I do more troubleshooting than editing.

I'm running Premiere 8.2.0 and am on Yosemite 10.10.1. I am using Apple Pro Res 422 at 1920x1080 at 29.97fps. I am using a 2013 Mac Pro 6,1 with dual AMD FirePro D500, 12-core Intel Xeon E5 processor, and 64gbs of ram.
The project is pretty system intensive, but the fact I can work for a while with no issues with total memory usage hovering around 12gbs, but then it shoots up to 64gb randomly seems wrong.. And also I can't imagine Premiere would need 64gbs of ram??
The project involves multiple nests, keys, multi-cam, and other coloring effects (all of which are GPU accelerated). I am working off of a 12tb raid connected through thunderbolt and have my scratch/media cache set to a separate SSD connected through thunderbolt. All preview files are set to the same as the footage, prores 422. As an update, I removed adjustments layers that were used to create a vignette and the problem seems to have stopped for now. But any advice or ideas of what could be causing this and how to avoid it would be greatly appreciated.

Sims 3 configure to use more memory

HI,
I have a MBP (mid 2012) with 8GB and 500hdd running Yosemite.
I understand there is a way to configure SIMS 3 to use more than the default of 2gb of memory?
How do I configure SIMS 3 to use 4gb instead of 2gb.
Thanks in anticipation.........

Force VM Buffering to Use More than 3.5GB RAM - Good Idea?

Sorry if this was explained, but I didn't see the short answer in any of the other threads I just stumbled on (and it sounds interesting).
First: Download and Info:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402029&sliceId=1
The information about VM Buffering in Photoshop CS3 is confusing at first glance.
First it says it gives PS access to about 8GB RAM and speeds things up, then it says it slows things down.
What might be the short recommendation on 2008 Mac Pro 2.8 8-core, 4 internal SATA (no RAID), 10.5.2 Leopard, 14GB RAM?
Files range from 20MB-1GB.
Should I be using these plugins?
ForceVMBuffering.plugin
DisableVMBuffering.plugin

>Just to be sure now, if I install ForceVMBuffering plugin, Photoshop CS3 will use more than the 3.5 GB?
As long as we're clear on what "use" means. The primary function of the VM buffers is to put as much scratch data as possible into RAM, instead of using the normal and much slower scratch hard disks you set in Preferences. That means if you are using a file so small that Photoshop wouldn't need to swap out to the scratch files, you may not see it take much high RAM. Also, my understanding is that because buffering is only about scratch files, it does not help provide more RAM to calculate a single operation, such as a running a complex filter on a very large layer. But if you never see "out of RAM" errors (and most people don't, because Photoshop is already well optimized), you don't need to worry about having enough RAM for operations. You only need to be concerned about using any extra available RAM for performance-enhancing memory buffers, and that's what Photoshop takes care of with VM buffering.

Encore CS5 hangs when called by Premiere Pro CS5 using Dynamic Link

Need help from folks,
Have done so far:
1. unistall CS5 package , reinstall CS5 package Production Premium. Reinstall all updates. Still get the problem.
2. Problem seems to be pop-up screen do not accept any 'click' to input answer to Encore CS5
3. Premiere Pro CS5 working fine
Please help.
TT

Thanks again pointing out the Adobe CC Cleaner URL
When I said CCleaner previously, I was refering to a program that clean out garbages from PC (broken links, shortcuts, temp files, etcetera..)
But late on, I have found out Adobe CC Cleaner (for Creative Cloud and CS5, CS6...) for cleaning Adobe craps after un-install.
I just wish the hotline could mention it and not having me to swim to find out that tool does exists saving some precious time.
Here is the status and what I have done to fix the problem:
...yeah, I was shooting in the dark...
1. Uninstall completely Adobe Premiere Production CS5 (remove preferences)
2. Run Adobe CCleaner (choose "all")
3. Shutdown PC, reboot and Cleanup and Defragment C: drive
4. Re-install completely Adobe Premiere Production CS5 (all products)
5. Re-apply completely Adobe Premiere Production CS5 (all products)
       (note: for some reason, I need to do it three times to get the complete updates done, just retry and no changes between retry)
6. Result : PremierePro still working fine, still hangs on Encore
       (Encore dialog screen was frozen as before from the begining and I had to use "Window-Task-Manager" to "end-the-task" of Encore)
7.Conclusion: the problem is on the PC not AdobePremiereProduction
8. Decision: Restore previous checkpoint of Window-7 Professional components
9. Redone steps 1,2,3,4,5
10. The result is the same as mentioned in point 6 and the conclusion is the same as mentioned in point 7.
11. Ultimate Decision: Ground-zero style resfresh (see the follwoing steps)
12. Separate Data from Window-7 (Move out all data from PC and unplug all connected portable hard drives
13. Factory restore of Window-7 Professional using DVD-rescue (hard drive C: wiped out and reformatted)
14. Apply all Updates for Window-7 Professional (over 121 updates, over 700Mb and many shutdown-reboot)
15. Reconfigure Wireless for connecting to Internet
16. Re-Install McAfee Antivirus
17. Re-Install some usefull Softwares (Microsoft Office 2010 Professional, etcetera... Shareport for wireless USB Printer)
18. Lot of Canon and Sony Softwares not re-installed because not used and not needed for now
19. Clean install AdobePremiereProduction CS5 (no need to run Adobe CCleaner)
20. Apply all updates for AdobePremierProduction CS5 (result is intermittent and have to retry few times to get it completed)
21. Apply one by one updates for every single Adobe product to get it done\
22. Shutdown and cleanup C: drive and defragment C; drive
22. From now on, I am sure to have a FRESH an CLEAN PC with a CLEAN CS5
23. RESULT: AdobePremierePro-CS5 still working perfectly AS BEFORE
24. RESULT: AdobeEncore-CS5 standalone do not hang ANY MORE
      but get error on MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ ? (with no details and some question marks) new
24. Get message saying QUICKTIME not installed (with warning)
25. Okay, install QUICKTIME from Apple to please CS5
26. Shutdown PC, reboot PC just to be sure everything kick in properly
27. RESULT: same as in point 24 (get error on MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ ? (with no details and some question marks)
28. It's SHOOT in the DARK, ON MORE TIME, BABY
29. Focusing on MicroSoft Visual C++ component: Comparing Installed products between my OLD PC and the freshly factory restored one
30. The old PC has Microsoft Visual C++ 2005,2008 and 2010 (both x64 and x86)
31. the new PC only has Microsoft Visual C++ 2008,2010 (both x64 and x86)
32. Decision : Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 (both x64 and x86) (trying to have same softwares on both PC)
33. Reboot PC after install
34. AMAZING RESULT: Adobe-Encore-CS5 is functionning OKAY
35. Testing time: I created a very small project in AdobePremierePro-CS5 and I was able to DynamicLink to Encore-CS5 and I was able to create on disk a DVD
      and I was able to play that DVD
36. DID I DO ALL THOSE STEPS FOR NOTHING, WHY IT WAS SO COMPLICATED,
      I WILL TEST IT AGAIN WITH MY BIG PROJECT (76 Ggis and 1 hour 18 minutes Blu-Ray) sometimes this week
     I SPENT TOO MUCH TIME TROUBLESHOOTING AND I AM LOOSING MY CREATIVITY (....LOL...)
      BELIEVE ME, I AM EXHAUSTED AND NEED SOME REST.
37. The End

Premiere Pro wont play more than a second of rendered video

I've just started a new project in Premiere Pro CS4.
The project renders fine but as soon as I try to play it back it will only move the play head about 8-10 milliseconds before jumping back to where it started. The weird thing is the video plays fine in bridge as it's just a regular QT file. But as soon as it's in premiere it just wont play for any length of time. Not sure if it's related but when scrolling along the time line, past where the playhead is located, the timeline will scroll for a bit and then jump back immediately to where the playhead is.
The video scrubs through with the playhead absolutely fine. The porblem just occurs when trying to play the footage back.
Any ideas?

it's just a regular QT file.
There's really no such thing as a 'regular' Quicktime file, as so many different kinds of video can be held in a Quicktime wrapper, and not all of them are meant to be edited. Generally speaking, Premiere works best when used with standard camera formats such as DV, DVCPRO HD, HDV, etc. Other kinds of video are often hit or miss. The symptoms you describe generally occur when someone tries to use video that was simply not meant for editing. The recommenced solution is to just not edit that file, but instead only use video you shot yourself using a proper camera format.
Or, use consumer software that may be more forgiving of the media you feed it.

Graphics card selection for Premiere Pro - CUDA core vs Memory bit

Hi,
I currently have the following configuration.
Intel i5 Quad Core.
8 GB DDR3 RAM
120 GB SSD + 2 TB HDD
I have plans for upgrading quadcore to i7 six core processor soon.
I don't have a graphic card now. My work will be editing mostly 720P footages and sometimes 1080p. I may also color grade but not all the time.
I had selected GTX 660 Ti at first. But the retailer told me it's outdated. They suggested me GTX 760 and GTX 960 (of Zotac). I liked GTX770
I am confused regarding the CUDA cores and memory bit. Which one is important for determining the performance of the video card in editing. Any help is much appreciated.
I have a tight budget so please don't suggest me costly cards.
Thanks,
SB

You want the highest bit width. GPUs I have noticed from going from GTX 650 to GTX 970 in premiere CC 2014 is its only going to help with effects and transitions that use GPU assistance and timeline playback. You'll see GPU assist with rendering if you have effects and transitions that use GPU otherwise it'll sit idle. Now what I have also noticed is during playback I would have some hiccups with the 650 where the 970 just played right through them, so I think its how the program uses the memory is important so if you have a wider bus move data can get through faster and also the more bandwidth the faster the card will be so the 760 and the 770 will be much fast cards. The 960 would be better power efficient but personally I recommend the 970 over them all if not then those higher end 7xx. 960 will get you by but 760 and 770 will get you by faster.

Unable to Launch Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 using High-Performance on AMD Radeon Graphic Card

I have been unable to launch Adobe Premiere Pro since installing it with the error message "Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers and start again"
Here are my specs:
Lenovo Ideapad U400
Windows 7 (64bit)
Intel i5 2.5 ghz processor
AMD Radeon 6470M graphics card
The only occasion during which I have successfully launched Premiere Pro was after reverting to the default graphics card on my computer and uninstalling AMD Radeon, otherwise, I have tried to change Premiere Pro to run on High-Performance on Catalyst Control Center to no avail, I do not wish to revert to the Standard Graphics Card as it slows down my computers performance one hell of a lot, neither do I wish to have to constantly uninstall and reinstall my AMD Radeon Graphics Card when I use Premiere Pro. Thank you for your time.

Update:
- with Intel (R) HD Graphics Card disabled, Catalyst Control Center reports that no AMD Graphic card is installed
- using Device Manager under Control Panel, AMD Radeon 6470M was verified to be up-to-date
- Premiere Pro works so long as I disable the Intel card before launch, however, I re-enable it upon startup to get rid of the 800x600 resolution
- AMD Mobility Radeon Driver Verification Tool is unable to verify and update my driver, refers me to lenovo to update it.
- My graphics card is up-to-date as verified by lenovo
- Intel (R) HD Graphics Card now up-to-date
- Display currently mainly using Intel (R) HD Graphics Card (Possibly why it caps resolution at 1024x768 when disabled) I'm not sure how to switch the main Graphics Card used, Catalyst Control Center doesn't seem to have the option.
- when disabled, computer reverts to vgasave instead of Radeon
- Disabling Radeon does nothing to existing display
- After updating my Intel card, Catalyst Control Center reported CCC was not supported by the current display adapter
- CCC worked after rolling back Intel card
From what I infer, I believe the problem to root from my intel card being the main card used, if there is anyway to switch my radeon card to the default instead of the Intel card, do tell me, I believe this may solve the problem, I apologise for troubling you guys, and I'm starting to feel that I shouldn't be troubling Adobe with my problem with AMD, this discussion is probably really out of place but I hope it will help out others with a similar problem.

Can oracle use more memory than pga+sga

Hi Experts,
If I have set pga 1GB and SGA 2GB then Could oracle use more than 3GB RAM from OS.
Thanks,
Please Ignore if seems to be very basic question..

Yes.
The PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET is only a target. On a busy system, a system with frequently changing SQL patterns , Oracle may sometimes attempt to allocate a higher value.
I presume that you are on 32-bit Windows. You will hit ORA-4030 errors occassionally because Oracle on Windows is a single process (multi-threaded) and Windows limits the memory the process can address.
I suggest that you reduce your P_A_T.

5.0 RC: slower and uses more memory

So far, I can't approve the promise of JDK 5.0 (RC): it is not only slower but also takes up more memory! Startup time is also the same compared to 1.4.2_05.
I tested with a server application running the same task several times in sequence. The task does a little JDBC access, some calculations and some heavy XML processing and FOP generating. I checked it twice but running the server with the 5.0 RC server HotSpot took considerably longer than with the 1.4.2_05 server HotSpot VM: 10 - 30 % longer!!! As I log memory usage after each task, the 5.0 test also showed slightly more memory used than the 1.4.2_05 version. (On Windows 2000 computer)
I wonder if this is a joke from Sun or if the RC is not optimized/has debug code enabled???

I hope that the final version could ship better optimized than the RC version - it's very slow even in a Pentium 4 machine. Is there any debug info left in jvm.dll anymore?
They even use Intel's VTune profiler (you can check such affirmation by reading J2SE SDK 1.4 SCSL Source code) but apparently they use the good old Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, instead of using Intel's C++ 7.X Optimizing Compiler. (Use the following options for getting a hotspot.log file that gives you a lot of informations about compiling: java -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:+LogCompilation ) The Intel's compiler could speed up the JIT compiler speed and the interpreted code speed. (Well, I never tried to compile SCSL code with Intel's C++ compiler and check my assertion...)

Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Using the Source Monitor and Program Monitor

strJiveDescriptionhttp://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/source-monitor-program-monitor.html

Even back in the days of printed manuals, there were often sections, that repeated, as they had application to a few slightly different topics. I always found that better (then), than just having a note to "go to _____ for info on this." Probably used a few extra trees, but one did not have to constantly flip back and forth. Now that we're talking 1's and 0's, I can see where a limited bit of repetition would enhance the flow of knowledge, and understanding, even when hyper-linked.
Just my observations,
