MBP not using all memory while rendering video

Hey,
When I do rendering in Adobe Premiere Por CS6, my Mac is not using all the available RAM: 2773 MB used....5416 MB free
Memory Pages:
                              1658 MB active....1099 MB wired
                              5420 MB inactive....11.2 MB free
it also says that:       3 swap files at peak usage
                               256 MB total swap space (20 MB used)
350 GB free storage space( total 750 GB)
I have a MBP (OS x Lion) late 2011 with i7 2.8 GHz and 8 GB RAM
Adobe Premiere Pro is set to use 6.5 GB of RAM but not even while working in the programme it has ever used that much of memory.
During rendering, it is the only app running, except for Google Chrome.
If this info is not enough, just ask what do you need to know...
PLEASE HELP, rendering takes forever.
Thanks,
kund

You never said what model Mac you have. Since this is the MacBook Pro forum, I assume you have some version of the MBP. 390% CPU would indicate CPU-boundedness for a quad-core CPU without active hyperthreading, or a dual-core CPU with hyperthreading active.
Given the high CPU usage and the low swap usage, it seems unlikely that memory usage is the problem, but I'm not a Premiere Pro user, so I couldn't guess what it.
You might try posting your question in an Adobe forum for Premiere Pro.

AE CS5 not using all memory and cpu

I am using After Effects CS5, wondering why the rendering is not using my CPU and memory full. It`s using only 15 % of memory and sometimes up to 50 % of CPU. What can I do to make it use better my hardware.
The current rendering is chroma key using Keylight.
I understand it can`t use all the hardware, but why only 15 %, because everybody is talking that you need a lot of RAM for AE.
CPU: Intel Core i7 920 - overclocked to 3.4 GHz
MEMORY: 6 GB DDR3
GRAPHIC: nVidia GTX 285

Not all rendering operations will max out all RAM and all CPUs (processor cores). Some rendering operations are I/O intensive; some are memory-intensive; some are CPU-intensive. If, for example, I/O is the bottleneck, then you won't see either CPU or RAM usage maxed.
Also, the goal isn't to see that 100% of the CPU and 100% of of RAM is being used. The goal is faster rendering (and other operations). Sometimes greatest performance is achieved when there's "headroom" left over for other activity. See this page.
Are you using Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing? That is one feature that really benefits from having a lot of RAM. The 6GB of RAM that you have in your system is not enough to make effective use of that feature. See this page.
Here's a page that collects information about how to optimize for performance.

HELP: Premiere Pro CC not using all CPU and RAM during rendering and export

Hello,
I am using Premiere Pro CC on a Windows 7. My timeline is quite simple with two videos, one with the movie (mpeg) and the other with the subtitles (avi).
When I render the sequence in PP or export, the rendering time is way too slow and it only uses around 15-20% of the CPU and 3 GB of RAM.
My hardware config is :
- CPU : i7-4770k 3.50Ghz
- RAM : 8 GB
- Disk : 2 x 3 TB SATA (no raid)
RAM is not the bottleneck, neither the disk access.
I have tried rendering and exporting the same project on an iMac (with an i5 2.7 Ghz and 4 GB RAM and only 1 disk) and the result is 4x faster !!!
The CPU usage is close to 100% as well as RAM usage.
So how come PP uses all resources availble on an iMac and not on a Windows 7 ?
Is there any known bug or software bottleneck on Windows 7 ?
My machine is brand new and nothing much installed besides Adobe products.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks,

I just rendered out a a 2 minute sequence with about 100 clips in it and Colorista effects on everything to the Vimeo 1080 H264 preset. It took about 5 minutes to render straight from Premiere, it used all the recourses it could, my CPU was running at near %100, same with my ram and GPU, I was happy.
Then I did another render with Red Giant Denoiser and it now wants to take 30 mins and it is only using about %20 of the recourses available. My problem isn't that its taking longer with Denoiser but that its not using all of my computers CPU and GPU.
Im rendering at maximum render quality and bit dept to H264 (Im happy to wait the extra time), if I try to use VRB 2 it encodes 1 pass at a time and wants to take up to 40 minutes.
I would appreciate some advice on this.

Your MacBook is compatible with Mac OS X 10.6.8, which is the minimum required to install the current version of iTunes and sync devices running iOS 7. It doesn't need to be compatible with Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks.

System not using all avail. mem.

Hi all, did a lot of forum searching and haven't seen this topic.
I'm using PPCS5(in production Premium) While rendering, the program is not using all available memory. before I go on here is the system I am using:
Win7pro
EVGA X58FTW mobo
I7 970
6x4gig Kingston hyperX 1600 RAM
Quadro fx4000
WD 140gig Raptor sys. drive
2x1TB RAID 0 (3gig SATA) data
2x2TB RAID 0 (6gig SATA) data
see image:
I have 21gigs allocated to the program.
Is the bottleneck the cache memory?
This is what I'm outputting:
Thanks for looking.

There is a little contradiction in the information here, HDV is 1440 x 1080 i60 or possible p30 I do not know of any camera that is 60p

Error Code, not using a memory card

I cannot send any documents from my laptop to the printer. There is an Error Code that says "Please Use Only One Memory Device At a Time" also the network light is flashing blue.
I am not using a memory card at all, just laptop to printer PLEASE HELP!

Hi TE8762,
I would like to help you with the symptoms your printer is experiencing. What model is it? Finding Your HP Product Model Number.
While I wait to hear back from you, please ensure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet and perform a power reset. To perform a power reset, leave the printer on and unplug the power cable. Leave the printer unplugged for at least 1 full minute then reconnect the power cable.
This alone may resolve the issue, if not let me now which printer it is and we can go from there. Thanks.

Can't use all memory for VM

Hi!
I have Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 with 16 Gb RAM. I created two VM with 7162 Mb of fixed memory on each. But i can't start both of them. When i tried start second vm i got out of memory error. Why?
PS C:\Users\Administrator> ( Get-WMIObject Win32_OperatingSystem -ComputerName localhost ).FreePhysicalMemory
8184452
PS C:\Users\Administrator> start-vm oldBSD
start-vm : 'oldBSD' could not initialize. (Virtual machine ID 05EA5A45-601F-4CC0-8770-62B97571D8F8)

size 7168 megabytes. (Virtual machine ID 05EA5A45-601F-4CC0-8770-62B97571D8F8)
The server ran out of available memory.
Max memory value for second machine is 5740Mb, but with it i have
PS C:\Users\Administrator> ( Get-WMIObject Win32_OperatingSystem -ComputerName
localhost ).FreePhysicalMemory

How i can use all memory? My idea is use 7 Gb of memory for each machine and 1.5-2 Gb for host.

Hi maxx-ode,
As far as I know ,to get free memory you still need to subtract the "standby memroy" from the output of the command in your original post .
Please refer to the article "Memory Sizing Guidance for Windows 7" within the link below :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/windows/hardware/dn550976
" Standby List
The Standby list contains unmodified pages that have been removed from process working sets, which effectively makes the Standby list a cache. If a process needs a page that is on the Standby list, the memory manager immediately returns the page to its
working set.
All pages on the Standby list are available for memory allocation requests. If a process requests memory, the memory manager can take a page from the Standby list, initialize it, and allocate it to the calling process. This is called repurposing a page.
Pages on the Standby list are often from recently used files. By keeping these pages on the Standby list, the memory manager reduces the need to read information from the disk. Disk reads
can decrease system responsiveness. "
Please try to use this command to get the "real" free memory of host (in bytes):
(Get-WmiObject Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfOS_Memory -ComputerName localhost).FreeAndZeroPageListBytes
"Free & Zero Page List Bytes is the amount of physical memory, in bytes, that is assigned to the free and zero page lists. This memory does not contain cached data. It is immediately available for allocation to a process or for system use.
Update: Actually we can allocate some standby RAM to VM , based on my test I can't allocate whole standby RAM .Then I used
RAMMap to check the usage and I found that Mapped file occupied most RAM .For mapped file please refer to following link:

Mail app closes when not used for a while how fix?

mail app closes when not used for a while how fix?

This may also be due to the Sudden Termination feature built into OS X, which will effectively quit a process if the system is demanding resources. Mail can be a RAM hog at times, and if your system only has a few GB of RAM, then when other programs demand more and you have not been using Mail then the system will invoke Sudden Termination to quit it so more RAM is available elsewhere.
Do you have only ~2-4GB of RAM in your system? Check for this in the About This Mac option in the Apple menu, and if so then consider upgrading to more if your system supports it. Alternatively you can try quitting other applications to free up more RAM.
To see which programs are using the most RAM, open the Activity Monitor utility and choose My Processes from the drop-down menu. Then ensure Real Memory is checked in the View > Columns menu, and click this menu's title to sort the items by it.
Keep in mind that sudden termination does not fully quit the program, so Mail may still show up in Activity Monitor when you open it even though it may be closed from the Dock.

Hi tonys60181,
Could you please let me know what version of Adobe Acrobat are you using.
What all drawing tools are you unable to access?
Is this issue specific to one PDF file or all?
What exactly happens when you try to use any drawing markup?
Please let me know.

Premiere Pro CC not using all resources... 4k

I just put together a new workstation machine for editing 1D-C 4k files in Premiere Pro and After Effects.
Specs...
i7 3770 3.4
Gigabyte Z77 Mobo
32gb Corsair Vengance DDR3 1600 RAM
250gb Samsung SSD
4x 2TB Seagate 7200 HDDs in RAID 0 (Yes I know it isn't backed up, we have that part covered)
Nvidia Quadro K4000 (3gb vram)
Anyway, we transfered a project with all the media files to our RAID media drive.
It opened up very quickly and loaded all the media much faster then our old workstation.
Then I hit the spacebar (perview) and the problems started..
It won't play back smoothly at all,
AND it is only running the CPU at 10-20%, GPU 10-50%, ram at 25% and it is not really taxing the drives very hard either...
Why won't PP use all the resources at 100% like I have previously seen it do on other machines?
** The project we are trying to play is 2 layers of 4k .MOV footage in a 1080 timeline... with sharpening, Fast color corrector, and RGB curves.
** It also drops every fourth frame when playing back just one layer of 4k .mov footage in a 1080 timeline with NO Effects applied. (Much smoother, but still not using all resources)
What I am asking, is why would it be giving up so quickly? Before even taxing the resources very hard?

I too have a recent 1D-C project I'm editing. That 1D-C is something, yes? Most filmic images I've ever seen from a DSLR. But I digress.
I'm following a workflow closer to the one used by Philip Bloom and Shane Hurlbut. The Motion Jpeg files will not play well at all on your system. It's strictly a capture medium - not an editing one.
I converted all my 1D-C files to Prores 422 at 4K size using Mpeg Streamclip. Those files imported beautifully and edit well on my Retina Macbook Pro laptop. I usually set playback to 1/2 quality, ps.
I have had problems using CUDA, so I'm sticking to software mode. But I don't see any problem with being able to cut my film and finish on my computer.
Also - my sequence is a 4K sequence right in Premiere. I simply chose a clip and "made a sequence" from that. Why scale when I don't have to? I've exported to 1080p easily from the sequence.
If anyone finds this workflow less than ideal, I'm all ears. Thanks.

SAP job not using all dialog processes that are available for parallel processing

He Experts,
The customer is running a job which is not using all the dialog processes that are available for parallel processing. It appears to use up the parallel processes (60) for the first 4-5 minutes of the job and then maxes out about 3-5 processes for the remainder of the job.
How do I analyze the job to find out the issue from a Basis perspective?
Thanks,
Zahra

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for replying!
I don't believe its a standard job.
I was thinking of starting a trace using ST05 before the job. What do you think?
Thanks,

Is there a way to hibernate tab groups so that they do not use RAM memory?

Is there a way to hibernate tab groups so that they do not use RAM memory? I have a lot of tabs open and have organized them into tabgroups but my computer still uses a lot of the RAM on mozilla. Can I hibernate some of the tabgroups in any way?
