Is it possible to rasterize effects to take up less memory?

I think rasterize is the correct term. I have a vector logo I created in InDesign. It does have a handfull of vectors but one thing in there has the bevel/emboss effect added. I have had similar problems with drop shadows also. These dont make very large file sizes at all but when sending to a printer, or maybe converting to PDF's, it just seems to take much long than normal, sometimes even crashes things. When I have enlarged to several feet for making a sign, it cramps things even more. Its not just one computer either. So I am assuming the effects have something to do with it. If so, is there some way to rasterize the effects to be more permanent so they wont hog memory as much?

When I print, by default the transparancy flatters has always been set to medium. I tried it at low and there wasnt any change. I tried saving as PDF using X-4 and that also goes very slow or crashes ID all together. It doesnt let me change the flattener settings either, none of the PDF presets let me.
I did notice something else, when I send this to one of my slower printers, it shows it as about 12mb being processed before it prints at whatever transparancy setting. When I send the same thing through with the emboss effect turned off, its just a few kb

After Effects Unable to Allocate Enough Memory to Render Current Frame/ MeshWarp problem.

Hello,
I am currently working with 17 layers in AE- CC 2014.1.1 (13.1.1) Most of the layers have multiple effects, including the "Mesh Warp,"- which happened to have been freezing my computer constantly. I finally had to change computers... First, I was unable to render these layers, because there is not enough memory space. So I went back to editing. After adding a couple of video layers, I went to play back, and got the above message: "After Effects Unable to Allocate Enough Memory to Render Current Frame"
I changed my "cache" folder to my external hard drive. I also upped the cache space from 23MB to 50MB. But I am still getting this error.
In terms of the Mesh warp: Once i brought the effect to the video file, and tried to move the grid, I got the rainbow spinny ball. It went away after a while. As soon as I clicked on ANYTHING- i got the wheel again. This continued until I "Forced Quit." I don't know what thats about...
This is the info for the Composition Settings/ computer I am working on. i am trying to give as much information as possible. This is for my Senior Thesis! Can anyone please help me ASAP?
Best,
Julia

What are these layers you're working with? What size? What format? What Codec? What color space?
What happens if you turn on Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously (reserving at least one core for other programs)?

I assume you mean GB, not MB...
What happens if you save to version 12 and try to work on it there? (If you don't have an older version installed, try it: Creative Cloud Help | Install, update, or uninstall apps)
Have you tried rebooting your machine recently? Do other programs/apps//software run normally?

Is it possible to install a 8 GB of RAM memory to a late 2008 aluminium macbook?

Is it possible to install a 8 GB of RAM memory to a late 2008 aluminium macbook?

Apple's stated maximum is not always the maximum the hardware will support. If the 4GB modules were too expensive when this MacBook was manufactured, then there would be no point in offering 8GB as an option.
I'm sure there are other explanations also, but all that really matters is that the maximum amount of memory your machine can handle is 8GB.

After Effects Error: Keylight out of memory (4)

After Effects CS4 keeps crapping out on me, and won't allow me to render my projects. I keep getting the message, "After Effects Error: Keylight out of memory (4)"
I'm running a brand new IMac 3.4 GHz Intel Core I7 (which I understand gives me virtually 8 cores), and I have 8 GB of Ram.
I've tried with multi-frame processing enabled, and dissabled and the same thing. When I tried with the mulit-frame enabled I selected allow 4 CPU's Free and allow 6CPU's free, and still the same results. Any help would be greatly apprecicated.
Thanks!

Since you run AE 9, it's probably your footage. Okay, it's the most likely cause, at least. Here's a copy 'n paste response I used to use a LOT on the Creative COW:
Dave's Stock Answer #1:
If the footage you imported into AE is any kind of the following -- footage in an HDV acquisition codec, MPEG1, MPEG2, AVCHD, mp4, mts, m2t, H.261 or H.264 -- you need to convert it to a different codec.
These kinds of footage use temporal, or interframe compression. They have keyframes at regular intervals, containing complete frame information. However, the frames in between do NOT have complete information. Interframe codecs toss out duplicated information.
In order to maintain peak rendering efficiency, AE needs complete information for each and every frame. But because these kinds of footage contain only partial information, AE freaks out, resulting in a wide variety of problems.
I'm a Mac guy, so I like to convert to Quicktime movies in the Animation or PNG codecs; both are lossless. I'll

How do I actually remove my apps permanetly so that it does not take up my memory?

When I delete a app it does NOT go permanetly away.It stays in my perchaced app section in itunes but I want it to delete it out of that.It takes up my memory still after I delte it my friend has a ipad use to be filled with apps but he deleted all of them and still he cannot download due to not having memory becuse it did not delete the memory of the app.

Becuse when I delte it still takes up. My memory I delted GBA4IOS a app from a website and still it takes 10GB of my memory.

Copy an image into system clipboard takes too much memory

Our Swing application copies a java.awt.BufferedImage into the system clipboard. Our image has a size of 1024x768 pixels and a depth of 24 bits per pixel.
The copy from the image to the system clipboard works, but is very slow and takes too much memory. Before the copy, java.exe uses about 30 MB. After the copy, it uses about 90 MB! However, a 1024x768x3 image should consume only 2,4 MB.
We did some debugging and it seems the AWT library does several copies of our original image in order to copy it in the system clipboard. I guess that each of these copies takes a lot of memory (probably because of a different format from the original image) and is not immediately garbage collected.
This is a big issue for our application because the JVM throws an OutOfMemoryError when we try to copy a new image to the system clipboard.
Here is our code. Do you have any idea? Thanks a lot for your help.
// Create the image
BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(1024, 768, BufferedImage.TYPE_3BYTE_BGR);
Graphics2D g2 = image.createGraphics();
drawSomething(g2);
g2.dispose();
// Put the image into the system clipboard
ImageSelection handler = new ImageSelection(image);
Clipboard clipboard = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard();
clipboard.setContents(handler, handler);
* An implementation of Transferable and ClipboardOwner to be used with
* images.
public class ImageSelection implements Transferable, ClipboardOwner {
    private static final DataFlavor flavors[] = {DataFlavor.imageFlavor};
    private Image image;
    public ImageSelection(Image imageToCopy) {
        this.image = imageToCopy;
    // Interface ClipboardOwner
    public void lostOwnership(Clipboard clipboard, Transferable transferable) {
        image = null;
    // Interface Transferable
    public Object getTransferData(DataFlavor flavor) throws UnsupportedFlavorException,
                                                            IOException {
        if (isDataFlavorSupported(flavor)) {
            return image;
        else {
            throw new UnsupportedFlavorException(flavor);
    public DataFlavor[] getTransferDataFlavors() {
        return flavors;
    public boolean isDataFlavorSupported(DataFlavor flavor) {
        return flavor.equals(flavors[0]);
}

why dont u use other data structure to store the image , which will take less memory.

I might get 35 or 40 and then get storage limit warnings

A_Ohmstede,
I know it can be frustrating seeing that inbox get full and having to delete
stored messages. I do see in the Samsung manual where it advises that it
will store a maximum of 300 messages on the phone. The number may lower
if there are pictures messages and other things being stored on the device.
Have you checked your total Memory available in Settings and Tools? How much is
currently available? Please let us know these details and we may be able

Adobe After Effects CS6 takes FOREVER to lock existing frames before rendering

My After Effects CS6 locks up for 3 minutes "Locking Existing Frames" before it even begins to start rendering, every time I need to preview anything - even at the lowest possible quality.
The render goes perfectly normal - it is not the rendering that is the problem - it is the "Locking Existing Frames" process BEFORE rendering that freezes up my computer for 3 minutes, and ruining my life.
I am using Adobe After Effects CS6 on a Mac Book Pro with a 2.9 GHz Core i7 processor (2 cores) and 8 GB of RAM.
Please help me understand what is happening when it is "Locking Existing Frames," and what some solutions could be to reduce the amount of time it takes to do this.
ALSO: I have scoured the Web for hours looking for the answer to this problem, and to this point it has never been solved. If you can solve this issue, Adobe should give you a promotion and $1 million.

Hi Rick and Greg,
Thanks for the quick responses. Below are all the details to all your questions. Also - just to emphasize again - my rendering goes super awesomely fast. It is not the rendering. It is the "Locking Existing Frames" process before the rendering that is ruining my life.
FREE MEMORY:
This is brand new Mac Book Pro with hardly anything stored on it.
The 8 GB of RAM is split into 2 memory slots, each with 4GB of RAM
3RD-PARTY CODECS:
I am not aware of any third-party codecs in this system. I imported some fonts (ITC Franklin Gothic) and some video files (see below), but I am not aware of any third-party codec installed on this system.
DISC CACHE:
My Disc Cache is enabled
My maximum disc cache size is 69 GB
I do not have a seperate "fast hard drive" or "SSD" seperate from my main hard drive, where I store my footage.
MPEG SOURCE FILES:
If by source files, you're asking about the video files I imported:
2 MP4s (5 sec. each)
3 QuickTime .mov (3 sec. each)
1 Audio-only FLV. (2 minute background music throughout video; used to be a Premiere working file)
MULTIPROCESSING
Turned off, but still locks up forever before rendering.
ADDITIONAL FUN FACTS:
Here are some additional observations that might help:
It doesn't just take a long time to start rendering; it freezes my entire computer for the duration of the "Locking Existing Frames" process - putting my entire life on hold for 3 minutes, every time I need to preview a minor detail... It's a nightmare.
The video is 1 min. 45 sec. long so far, and has 15 sec. to go.
The video is comprised of 99 percent motion graphics, and 1 percent actual footage (Occupy Wall Street hates my footage)
The complexity in this video is that there are a lot of compositions inside of compositions inside of compositions, but even when I go to the very beginning of the first comp - where the only animation is a line being drawn with the "Stroke" effect - it still takes 3 minutes to "Lock Existing Frames."
Again... The rendering goes super fast after the "Locking Existing Frames" process. The problem is NOT with the rendering. The problem is the "Locking Existing Frames" process BEFORE the rendering starts.
This is my job and I can't do efficiently until I solve this problem, so I will be very responsive until we can identify the issue.
Thanks again for all your helpful responses!

Is it possible to remove effects recorded in Apple loops?

Hi there,
I'm using a piano loop Classic Rock Piano09 which is blue and I want to take off the delay they've put on it.
I'm guessing because it's a 'blue' loop then I can't, but am hoping that I can somehow convert it to midi notes or maybe even a notated score that I can then put in any of the software instruments like a piano with no effects.
Annoying that you don't have the option to take effects but I suppose that adds a lot more complexity.
Thanks for your help.

if there isn't a delay plugin being used then no, you cant remove the delay because it is recorded along with the sound as part of the audio file..
That would akin to unboiling an egg....... which normally is impossible unless...

Is it possible to add effects simultaneously to multiple photos

I'd like to select multiple photos with similar qualities (under or overexposed) and apply my adjustments/enhancements to all at the same time. Is this possible?
Or, is it possible to copy and paste the last effect used to a newly selected photo?
Thanks

No Update OS 10.3.1 possible Q5 where I should take the space?

After I read now a lot of post for the problems of the update, Im still not able to make it. I deleted all!!! my apps, what was not blocked by the system but its still telling me, that it need 781 MB more space! I have no data there, no pictures, no videos, I deleted really all or transfer to the mediacard. And now after its still not possible. Im really going crazy for this!
there shoud be a solution, cant be that I´m the only one with this problem.
I tried per wireless, and via blackberry link. via Web its not possible for the mac... what can I do?
the system is taking 1,96GB
apps (what I cant delete!) 575
my data 177 MB
and free: 3,21GB
even I would be able to delete all the apps and my data, it would not be enough space!

it works for most people. Please try what is written in this article from the BlackBerry public knowledge base:
