NIGHTMARE with ERROR OUT OF MEMORY

I was going to finish a 80 hour editing proyect and suddenly this morning my fcp says ERROR OUT OF MEMORY! so NOW, I can´t open anymore the editing sequence.
HELP! I am desesperate!
any idea??

Thanks a lot! I read another post more or less like this, and somebody has some kind of programa thats named FCP RESCUE and it works really good!
I erased all render files, then with this program (I still dont understand well how this works) deleted preferences of fcp (with fcp closed -- no instructions available of the use of this little program) and then make off line the sequence.
YES! I Think the problem was a cmyk graphic I haved. so then I opened the sequence -everything was off line (as suppossed to be) and then opened a new proyect --diffferent name (by caution) changed name, and copy paste all the edition of the original editing sequence to the new project, but I erased the CMYK GRAPHIC -- now working fine in the new project.
Have to say that in the older one --even that I erased the cmyk graphic --still having troubles so...
its better to work in a new project.
Thanks a lot for your responses VERY VERY USEFUL!!
Ah, one more thing, fcp (apple) should warn users that fcp is not compatible with cmyk graphics and that will give conflicts.

Multiclip Nightmare: General Error/Out of Memory when trying to match frame

I'm an assistant editor on a reality show and am fairly experienced with Final Cut Pro. But I've never seen something like this.
At our post house, we have over 30 Macs running FCP7, streaming media off a Xserve/Promise RAID SAN via Fiber channel. We create multiclips for everything (it's a reality show) and have run into some weird bugs.
What's happening is that mutliclips will all-of-a-sudden be unable to match back to the original multiclip. It gives a General Error then an Out of Memory error. Sometimes, after those errors, FCP immediately quits. When I double click the clip in the timeline, I get the same general error. I can, however, match back to the original media clip. But matching back to the multiclip causes the error.
I can't pinpoint a cause or common element. It's happening to different episodes with different editors and different project files.
Also, randomly, things will go offline for no reason. And not everything in a timeline, just some things (which makes no since). We can reconnect them quickly since the media drive never went offline in the first place. I mention this because but I'm wondering if both of these problems are common symptoms of corrupt multiclips and if there's a way to fix them. The only element that I can find linking media randomly going offline is that these multiclips had subclips embedded in them. But even that doesn't seem to be a common thread.
These timelines have been passed around from story editors to editors to AEs then back to editors, so we're thinking these multiclips might be getting corrupted through that process. I don't understand why because everything's looking at the server and all the Macs are pretty much identical.
What I began to do was recut in each clip on the editor's timeline with the original multiclip. It fixes the problem but it's beyond time consuming to say the least. Now that these errors have come up three times in different places, I'm worried we have a widespread problem and if there's a better way to fix it.
Details:
We transcoded all the DVCPRO tapes with AJA Kona Cards to NTSC ProRes (LT) with plans to online the show once we lock
Everyone's running the latest FCP7 and Snow Leopard release

It seems that FCP is making HUGE multiclips. I'm guessing that's the source of the memory error. Some multiclips (the ones it'll let me open) are 9 hours long.
Interesting... Could be the source of your problem indeed
And for no reason.
Are you sure there's no reason? When making multilips there's not one clip's timecode passing 00:00:00:00 for exemple? Or a small clip is also selected with a complete different Timecode? Is it black all 9 hours long? etc.
There must be something that is causing these long multiclips.
I agree with Tom (down in this thread) that sending apple feedback with as much detail as possible might be helpfull.
[FCP feedback|http://www.apple.com/feedback/finalcutpro.html]
I would also be interested in an XML of one of the culprit clips. Not that I know answers, but looking at it might give some clue.
Please select one of the wrong multiclips (in the browser). Select File > Export > XML. (version 5, include metadata; Please also make a version 4 XML).
Send both XML to my email address (in my profile; click on my name in the left column of this post). No promises But you never know...

Can anyone help with an out of memory error on CS2?

Hello,
I have been battling with an out of memory error on a dell laptop running 2gb of ram. I have had no prior issues with this laptop running CS2 until last week when I started getting the out of memory errors. I have seen several articles about this occuring on later versions of illustrator. Just prior to this issue appearing I had to delete and rebuild the main user profile on the computer due to it consistently logging into a temporary account.
Once the new profile was established and all user documents and profile settings were transferred back into it, this problem started showing up. The error occurs when clicking on files listed as Illustrator files, and when opening the illustrator suite. Once I click on the out of memory error it still continues to load illustrator. The files are located on a server and not on the remote computer. I have tried to copy the files to the local hard drive with the same result when I try to open them. I also tried to change the extension to .pdf and got no further. I tried to open a file and recreate the work and all I got was the black outline of the fonts. none of the other artwork appeared. once rebuilt, when trying to save, It gives the out of memory error and does not save the file.
Illustrator was installed on another dell laptop, same model, etc and works fine. no problem accessing network files. I just attempted to use Illustrator from the admin profile on the machine in question and it works fine and lightening fast. Just not from the new rebuilt profile. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the software. it has not helped. could there be stray configuration settings that we transfered over to the new profile that should not have been?
Any insights will be helpful.
Thank You,
Brad Yeutter

Final_cut_pro-"Error: out of memory" when rendering with hidef clips

I keep getting this notice when rendering "error: out of memory." Both my external drive and internal drive have plenty of memory; 1.8TB and 101GB respectively. It makes no difference if I am rendering at full resolution or draft. I solved it for a while by clearing out some memory on my internal harddrive,
but now it is back. What is going on. This didn't happen when I was working with regular definition clips but now I am working with high def. What to do?

Drives don't have 'memory' in this context, they are storage containers.
Check my answer to your other thread and give us more info about your rig...Hardware/Software (models/versions), how everything's connected, exact specifications of the media you're working with and sequence settings.

"Error: Out of Memory" when trying to Render

Hello all,
I'm editing a project in FCP 5 that is using, in part, .mpeg-4 videos downloaded from the internet. After several weeks on the project with things going fine, the downloaded videos can no longer render. I can see them in the source window, but when laid into the sequence these downloaded videos produce an "Error: Out of Memory" message. Other videos of this type that are already rendered and playing in the existing sequence cannot be re-rendered or adjusted without producing the same Error message.
A few things to remember...
1. Other types of rendering, such as filters and fit to fill effects, render just fine.
2. There is over 30 GBs on the external drive this project is running on.
3. I've tried resetting scratch disks, transferring the project to another drive, and opening it on a new, super-fast computer, and nothing is different.
Please help, I'm really stuck in the mud here and am dying to get past this issue,
Peace,
Sam

Did either of you find an answer? I'm running into the S A M E issues. I feel strongly that it has to do with the quicktime update, as editing mp4's worked FINE in January.
There is a lengthy protocol for trying to circumvent this issue:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1413028&tstart=0
Didn't work for me, but I think it worked for the query. And VLC (http://www.videolan.org/) ended up being the only program I can even VIEW mp4 in now properly.
So if you can use a viewer, that works.

I'm getting an error Out of memory message when I try to render - There's lots of memory

I'm getting an error Out of memory message when I try to render - there's lots of memory and I've never gotten this before - any ideas?

Thanks - I did go through and change all the profiles to Apple RGB, there are several to choose - but I'm still having problems - I think it has to do with corrupt images - Im backing up and starting over - I've worked with images large and small for years and never had this problem - thanks

"Error: Out of memory" [not able to open timeline or videos in 'Viewer']

Hello all,
I am opening an old project from FCP 4 to Studio 1. The old system used a 'Cinewave' capture card. The new system is AJA Kona. I opened and changed timeline settings for many projects and they worked. This project the option fails. If I open a timeline this appears: "Error: Out of memory". The error also happens when I try to open video in the viewer. I noticed there are some videos in the SD 720x480 format that I am not able to open within FCP. Yet, I see them in Quicktime. I have saved the project with a new name in the current FCP format. All updates are current.
What is the diagnosis?
Thanks,
Jason

ummm....
I'll have to check that Monday. I'm actually at home. The problem is at the work computer.
I will check then and report back.
Please look if I need help then.
Thanks,
Jason

Computer error - 'Out of Memory'

Hi all,
Company I edit for bought a new tower. Here are the specs
Processor Two 2.66GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
RAM 12GB
Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB
Yesterday was my first day on it, and all went fine until I started bringing render-heavy motion files into Final Cut. It would start rendering them, and then stop and say 'error -- out of memory'.
The internal drive has 800G of free space, but Just to be safe, I switched the scratch disc to an external with 400G of free space. Got the same error and message.
I also tried trashing preferences, repairing disc permissions and restarting. No luck.
I switched to my laptop (2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo/4G Ram) and the sequence rendered just fine (if a little slow).
Any idea what's wrong? We bought the machine specifically for rendering and compressing, so this is pretty frustrating...

I've only run into this problem in a ProRes project, with clips transcoded from a Canon 7D. Other projects, using DVCPRO HD 1080, with lots of effects, haven't done this. What seems to help is 1. If you're using still files, make sure they're RGB and 72ppi; when I can I use jpgs rather than tiffs, and I think it helps to make them no larger than you need; 2. Close the sequence tabs you're not using, especially if they're psd still files; 3. Selectively render only the tracks at the top; 4. Save after every render.
If anyone has other ideas, please let us know. This really can be a pain.

Error Out Of Memory Due to Digi Effects

Hello everyone, got a bit of a tricky situation to troubleshoot :/
Before you ask here's my iMac info http://gyazo.com/0648a1d03fb15935117894dd6716ffbc
Ok so the problem is, I'm making this video and its having a lot of distortion effects added to it within FCP 7 using the plugin Digi Effects Damage "Blockade". Now I had a sequence which had just enough memory to use it on all the clips I needed. However, I sent that sequence to Color and sent it back to FCP and in my new 'color sequence' I can watch the whole thing through in real time with safe RT and unlimited RT, however there is this colour http://gyazo.com/d022bf802fb82d76d191a004ddcbc387 above all the clips that have the plugin on.
Although I can watch it through in playback mode, when I render, after a few seconds it says Error: Out of memory.
Here are my general sequence settings http://gyazo.com/a270414e2c2d38cb1274f8f84f507383
I am using clips in the pro res 422 format. Any ideas? :/

Hi
Out of memory use to refere to amount of
• RAM
• free Space on Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk - VERY IMPORTANT
• Space availably on Hard Disk/s That holde the Movie Material
RAM
Never been a problem to me - 2 resp 5Gb dep on Mac used
Free Space on Boot HD
I never go under 25Gb free space - when working on SD-Video project's - I guess that 4 - 5 times more will be a safe level when doing HD. This space HAS TO be just here as Mac OS works like UNIX (it is in fact) and then produces lot's of temp. files that can not be stored elsewhere and so does FinalCut (or whatever application running)
Space to keep Movie Project
• Should be on other hard disks than the Boot HD.
• Should be as fast as possibly - RAIDed, FireWire or Thunderbolt - USB/USB2 performs badly to me and especially when filling up and when holding HD-material
• MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted - this goes for all Video editing - iMovie, FinalCut or Adobe etc.
• This too can fill up - So this space is also important
What memory that are not sufficiant - is hard to guess - when You don't tell the above figure.
Good Luck in finding it
Yours Bengt W

Render - Error: Out of Memory

I have been getting the following error message while trying to render - Error: Out of Memory.
The system I am working on has 10 gigs of RAM and is connected to a SAN with a whole lots of storage. The error message doesn't appear until almost the end of a render, which is of itself very annoying. Anyone know why this is happening? If I restart the application I am OK for a while then it happens again.

If you really want me to hold your hand I will. Here's some links that came up when I typed "Out of Memory"

General Error - Out of memory when viewing clips

Hi All. I have a problem.
Right, I have 720p clips, about 5-10 minutes long each, 100-150mb in size. I roughly have about 180 of these clips. Now some of the clips can be viewed, others (most) cannot. Everytime I click to view them, it brings up the error out of memory message. All clips and the project are being done on an external HD (1TB)
I've attempted to start a new project on the Mac HD, same issue (with the clips still on the external HD) and I've also tried only putting one clip in with the same error message.
How can I resolve this issue?
Cheers
Tony

Don't convert to DivX, that's not an editing codec either.

My final cut studio keeps giving me this error out of memory message when ever i try to render a piece of footage and its closing unexpected. Does anybody know the reason?

My final cut studio keeps giving me this error out of memory message when ever i try to render a piece of footage and its closing unexpected. Does anybody know the reason?

I had this problem about 2 months ago and, as others have suggested in this thread, eventually traed it backed to some stills I had scanned and brought into the project. Accidentally I had changed the scanner settings, with the result that a couple of skills were well beyond 1980 x 1020 pixels. I resampled the stills and everything was fine again. Hope this might help.

Receiving "Not Found" - then "Error:Out of Memory" trying to open Sequence

I have received a FCP Project edited in 2009 from the UK and have pulled the project file onto my workstation and all of the media onto an ext HD. I have also reconnected all of the media. However, when I try and open one of the Sequences in the project - I receive the following error "Not Found" then once I click off of that a second error "Error:Out of Memory". All of the other sequence in the project open fine.
Initially, I was able to open the original project file and open the sequence - but when I tried to copy the sequence & paste into a new project-I would receive the errors. Now I am receiving the same errors in the original project.
At first I thought it might be an problem with the computer but I have tried this on two different work stations /computers so I don't think it would be a prefs ( trash preferences) issue. Also footage was first on an XRAID and then I brought it to an external HD, so I don't think it had anything to do with permission issues.
This sequence is critical that I am able to get to it as it is part of a TV episode, so I would very much appreciate any help / advice on fixing this problem ASAP!
Thanks!

p.s. having looked at other posts, perhaps I am missing some (or all) of the relevant codecs?
In the folder Macintosh HD > Library > Quicktime
there is basically nothing. Do you think this is the problem?
If so, where do I download FCP codecs from?
Many thanks..

Import Powerpoint to Keynote '09 causes this "import error" "out of memory"

Import Powerpoint file (1.6MB - Powerpoint 97-2004) to Keynote '09 causes this message "import error" "out of memory". Import process fails. What is going on??

Hi katie, and welcome to the forums.
How large is the document meant to be and how much free space do you have on your hard drive (look at the bottom of any finder window for the amount of space available) ?
Does the file start to download, but then stop with this message, or does it appear as soon as the download begins, or, alternatively, after it has downloaded when you try to open it?
The most likely explanation is that the file itself is corrupt.
Another possibility, though, is that you have some directory corruption.
Answers to the above questions will help us work out the most likely scenario.
Cheers
Rod
