Out Of Memory Error every time my playhead reaches a slug I placed in timel

The past two days in one particular project I get an Error: Out Of Memory every time I play from the timeline and the playhead reaches the slugs I placed for the commercial breaks. I thought maybe the problem was with the commercial sequence I placed over the slug but I deleted it and still get the problem. When I get the message and then advance the playhead a little further to the right, but still over the slug, and press play I get a loud static cracking sound and the error message reappears. When I advance the playhead and hit play again FCP crashes. This happens in this order every time I reach a slug in the timeline. I am using FCP 6.0.5 (reinstalled last night) the project is HDV 1080i60 and I have a Mac Pro Quad Core with 6 GB of memory and I am saving to a esata Raid drive. I have ordered new memory although I do not think that is the problem. Why does stuff like this happen every time a deadline approaches?

meh... spoke too soon! I find that edit-to-tape (assembly edit on Sony HVRM-15 DVCAM mode) is unreliable whenever there is a slug in the timeline. Typically playhback crashes a few seconds after we hit the slug.
Im working around this by either using "black" clips rather than slug, or by dumping out the entire sequence to a separate QT movie, and then sending that out to tape.
Its puzzling that my current-gen quad-core mac pro (4GB memory total, NVIDEA 8800 card, seagate 250GB internal video drives) seems to be having such a hard time handling this...

"Out of Memory" error every 10 minutes, never happened before.

Hello, let me go right to my problem.
I'm using Photoshop CS5, AMD Athlon II X4 635 Processor - 2,90 GHz, got 4gb RAM and 32bit Windows 7. Also an ATI Radeon HD 5700
I'm studying communications designs so I'm using Photoshop a lot. I've been using CS5 for quite a while now (like 3 months) and it never made any problems, except crashing every now and again which I didn't mind that much.
Since today though, it always gives ma a "Out of RAM Memory" Error, when I try to save, use the brush tool, or pretty much anything else, after like 10 minutes of working on a picture. The pictures I work on aren't big, the psd file is something like 30mb and I handled pictures that were 10 times bigger in the past, without getting that error. I don't use "content aware fill" which I often heard was the cause for this and I don't have anything except Photoshop opened when I'm working on a picture. I already increased the pagefile in windows, I raised the cashe settings in Photoshop to the maximum and still, the error occurs like 10-15 minutes after I start up Photoshop and start working on my picture.
Also, before all of that started to happen today, photoshop crashed an awful lot and I started to save more frequently, like once every 5 minutes.
Please, can anyone try to help me find a solution to this?

I am sorry,
I didn't realize my post said, "Hey idiot, check your hard drive to make sure you have the room for your page file to grow."
I would like to point out this is a user forum you came to asking other users for help with an issue you are experiancing and those of us who post try to help point you in the right direction. There really is no need to be rude or get offended from a suggestion.
Good luck with your issue.

Smart sharpen out of memory error in action

I have a watermark action that creates a history state, flattens the image, resizes to 2000 px wide, places a watermark, selects the background and does a smart sharpen.
Bloody thing gives a memory error every time. The only way I can avoid the memory error is if I quit, close down everything else thats running and reopen photoshop...
I never got memory errors in windows 7, this has only started happening in windows 8. I have 6.5gb of ram (59% alocated to PS).

Hi,
I had this issue as well. Does anyone know why this happens

Data merge with football tickets. Printing causes out of memory errors. Can only print 10 at a time!

Here's the deal. Printing football tickets for the local high school. 10 tickets per 8.5 x 11 sheet. All black and white. I couldn't data merge into one whole document of tickets because it was failing to do that. So, I end up with 3 documents. First two have 50 pages of tickets and the last has 37 pages.
When I go to print, I can only print 10 pages at a time or InDesign straight up crashes or I get an "Out of Memory" error which is bull because I've got plenty of ram available (unless it's complaining about lack of HD space for some reason)
Incredibly frustrating.
Each ticket has 3 images on it. Two of the images are the same. Those two images are about 103kb .ai files. Very very simple. The other image is a TIFF that is about 76kb. So there are 1000 .ai files / document and 500 TIFFs.
Here's a video I took of it ripping: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCjvdmXuaYs&feature=c4-overview&list=UUf_1UFp80YLZJfCyIxXEg kg
Also, when printing, I have the Send Data set to Optimized Subsampling instead of "All". That's not seeming to help.
Any thoughts?
IDCS 5.5
OSX 10.8.4

I just ran a sample on my laptop.
AI file, duplicated, is 284k. Image is roughly 200k. The CSV has 2054 records, and the merged document with 10 per page is 250 megabytes. PDF is just under 50 megs.
This laptop has only 4 gigs memory but has a lot of free disk space. It took a good amount of time to do the merge, a bit longer to create the PDF-X1a PDF.

Unable to create titles, getting "Out of memory" error message

I am editing a project on FCE 2.0.3.
I recently re-opened the project after about a year. It is stored on a 500GB external firewire hard-drive. I am working on a Mac G5 Powermac 7.2 with OS 10.4.11 with 1GB of RAM. I have my system settings on FCE set at 100% for memory usage and still cache. All my system settings on FCE are set to save to the external drive. I have 16GB available on my G5 memory.
Every time I try to create a title using Title crawl, i get this error message:
AE Effects Error: Out of memory using "title crawl."
Also, every time I close the project and re-open it, I have to reconnect all the media and re-render everything, even though I save the project each time. I have also Saved As a different project name multiple times and this doesn't help.
One other issue: The titles that I have on the project already look clear when the video is paused on a frame, but when they are moving they look very low-res and pixilated. The pixilated look also happens when I output my video to a QT movie. How can I make the titles look sharp?
Please help!
THANKS
-Pierre

Before you do anything, trash your preferences exactly as detailed in this link:
http://fcpbook.com/Misc1.html
+"AE Effects Error: Out of memory using "title crawl.""+
Try pushing down the memory usage and still cache a lot, and see if that helps. You only have 1GB of RAM, so keeping them at 100% is not a good idea. A computer can easily use about half a gigabyte just maintaining regular processes. To make sure you don't overload your RAM, you need to set the amount of memory FCE can use to a much smaller amount.
+"Also, every time I close the project and re-open it, I have to reconnect all the media and re-render everything, even though I save the project each time. I have also Saved As a different project name multiple times and this doesn't help."+
Are you moving files around on your scratch disk or renaming them? If so, you will have to reconnect them every time you change things.
+"The titles that I have on the project already look clear when the video is paused on a frame, but when they are moving they look very low-res and pixilated. The pixilated look also happens when I output my video to a QT movie. How can I make the titles look sharp?"+
Are you looking at the fully rendered movie? Click Option-R to render everything out.

Photoshop CS6 has out of memory errors under Mac OS X 10.7.4

Has anyone who has a 2008 MacBoo Pro with the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 512 MB graphics card tried running Photoshop CS6 under Mac OS X 10.7.4?
On my MacBook Pro, PS CS6 launches; however, any action results in an out of memory error. The CS6 versions of After Effects, Premiere Pro and Illustrator all launch and run as expected under 10.7.4.
If I switch to my Mac OS X 10.6.8 startup volume, Photoshop CS6 runs as expected.
I have support cases open with Adobe, NVidia and Apple. Adobe thinks I need to update the display drivers. NVidia says display drivers must be provided by Apple. Apple says that the display drivers are current. The Apple support agent said that he can escalate the case if the issue can be reproduced on more than one computer.
I'd love to keep my MacBook Pro running another year or so without having to reboot in 10.6.8 every time I need to use Photoshop. I'd stay with 10.6.8, but of course iCloud requires 10.7.4.
I have not tried 10.8 yet, but it's on my troubleshooting list.
Also, PS CS6 runs fine under Mac OS X 10.7.4 on my 2010 iMac.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

It looks like it was indeed the display driver for the NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT 512 MB graphics card inside my 2008 MacBook Pro.
It seems that this driver only gets installed if you upgrade from Mac OS X 10.6.7 to 10.7.4 while the startup drive is connected to the MacBook Pro itself. I had updated while the startup drive was connected to my 2010 iMac. Accordingly, I could have reinstalled Photoshop 100 times without it ever launching as expected. Having used the external startup drive with three other Apple computers (all 2010 or newer machines) with Photoshop CS6 launching as expected, I had just assumed (mistakenly) that it would work as expected with my 2008 computer.
So, this was simple enough to resolve by upgrading the OS on the external startup drive while having it connected to the MacBook Pro. In hindsight, this makes perfect sense.

Out of memory errors when trying to sync local and remote sites

We cannot get our remote and local sites synchronized for the first time. We have a huge site and we get out or memory errors or the synch just doesn't work. Any solutions or insights?
Our site has 9,000+ HTML files and accompanying images, pdfs, etc. When we try to synch the remote to the local for the first time, it just will not happen. Every once in a while someone gets lucky, but for the most part, we either get an "out of memory" error or the synch just doesn't work, and it doesn't tell us anything. It just stops responding. HELP!

Hi dmooresatx,
I am not aware of the limitations of the file sizes that are allowed for a successful sync operation. If you are using a purchased version of Dreamweaver CC, send me your Adobe ID along with your contact details (phone, email number). Click on my picture and use the message option. If you are using a team license, get these details from your administrator.
Thanks,
Preran

Another version of 'out of memory' error

Hi all
I have a colleague who is getting the following error message.
As discussed...when I attempt to render a clip on the timeline, once it
gets to the end of the rendering process and attempts to play the clip, an
'out of memory' error message box appears on the screen.
Then when I click on 'OK' to close this box, the canvas window turns to red
and the following message displays in the canvas window...'Out of memory.
Free up memory and window will redraw.'
He is using HDV footage captured with the "HDV" codec [not the intermediate one], and editing it into HDV1080i50 sequences.
He has a G5 DP 2 GHZ machine running Tiger 10.4.2 and 2 GB of ram.
He has approx 80 GB free space on Mac HD and approx 400 GB on external Lacie HD. He is running only FCP HD 5 at any one time.
I have sourced some previous posts which speak of corrupt graphics, clips, sequences and trashing fcp prefs.
Does anyone have any other suggestions for him?
[He is quite new to macs and FCP especially].
I am going to send him an email to subscribe and create an account for this forum, his name is AGebhardt.

Hello,
I had the same issue last night, when a render (only 15 min., so not THAT big) completed and would not play and the canvas turned red and said I was out of memory.
This is different than a general error! out of memory warning, which I have seen happen. Some of the answers in linked threads seem to be pointing to this other situation.
I have plenty of space and plenty of RAM and was only running iTunes. I quit iTunes and it worked, almost to my disappointment because in the past I have had many apps working at a time with no problems,
I would be pretty bummed if I could only have FCP open all of a sudden.
I will try going through my clips to check for corruptions as suggested just to be on the safe side, but have a question;
What good is it to throw out your render files if you have already checked to see if you have enough storage space? I can see the good if a file is corrupt, but with every project a new render folder is created and unless there is a limit on these folders that I'm unaware of I can't see the sense in trashing the folder.
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Jesse

"Out of memory" error using SmartView v11.1.1.3.500, MS Excel 2007 & MS Win7 Prof SP1 (all 32-bit)

Hi All,
A user is regularly experiencing "Out of memory" error messages while retrieving large MS Excel 2007 worksheets (ad-hoc analysis; approx 700 rows by 13 columns) connected to a Planning cube via 32-bit SmartView v11.1.1.3.500 (Build 008) on a 32-bit MS Windows 7 Prof (SP1) computer with 4GB of RAM. The same user is reporting experiencing a number of other issues (eg, TCP-related time-out, unable to connect to the APS, SmartView add-in disappearing, etc) at the same time.
I could not locate any specific KB document from the My Oracle Support website which addressed these specific issues all at once but from various posts out there, the recommendations to address similar issues were as follows:
Tick the Options > Display > Reduce Excel file size option;
Tick the Options > Display > Improve metadata storage option;
Rebuild the MS Excel workbook from scratch;
Delete all temp files located in the C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Local\Temp directory;
Disable auto-recovery for MS Excel;
Add misc TCP-related registry entries (eg, TcpTimedWaitDelay, MaxUserPort, MaxFreeTcbs, etc) on both the client PC and server;
Adjust MS Windows for best performance;
Increase the page file by 25%-50% more than the physical amount of RAM installed on the client PC;
Relocate the page file to a different drive as compared to the drive where MS Windows is installed on the client PC;
On top of the above, are there any other recommendations anyone else would like to share to address the "Out of memory" issue?
Many thanks in advance,
JBM

Monitor the Full GC in GC log and see if there is any gradual increase in the free memory retained after every Full GC over a period, if there is a gradual increase and if its reaching maximum specified heap over a period of time, that means there might be some slow leak from application or native libraries.
Also please check if you have any pattern or request which might be triggering OOM all of the sudden.
If its memory leak best way to investigate that is to capture JRA's at regular interval's and monitor top 10 objects and see which one is growing and consuming more % of heap over a period of time.
You can also have this by captured by print_object_summary and print_memusage options in JRCMD command over a period of time.
Hope this helps.

Question - Out of memory error

Receiving "Out of Memory" error when trying to insert pages into an existing pdf. I'm using Acrobat 9 Standard version 9.5.1.

I downloaded JProfiler.
Even though I'm new to Java and only had JProfiler for an hour or two
I was able to get my app running from JProfiler and observe the heap
in real time. I saw that when I first run the server app it is level then when
I pull up the client lobby and then the chat room up it begins to climb very
quickly going from 1 to 10 MB in a matter of a couple minutes and continues
to rise fast. I checked the code closer and realized that I could close the
prepared statment and resultset each time I go through the loop. Here is the
code I added inside the loop at the end of the loop mentioned above.
rs.close();
ps.close();
out.flush();
System.gc();
I ran the JProfiler again and the heap saw toothes right at 1 MB and stays there :) .
I let it run for 10 minutes. It looks like it is still climbing a couple bytes every
minute but like I said there are other threads in the app running so as I learn
how to use JProfiler more and more I should be able to run that down as well.
Made me feel alot better about the whole situation.
One last ? When I use the line
while (keepgoing) {
switch (new Integer(in.readLine())) {
within the keepgoing loop does the new Integer(
use more and more memory each time it loops or is that collected since it is not referenced again?
So looks like I will have to buy JProfiler even though i'm dirt poor lol. Thanks.

Out of memory error.............plz help

i m implementing an application containing 90 data fields.
i m doing it using jdk1.4 and oracle 8i.
problem is every time i try open any menu item from menubar the application gets stopped and nothing works and it shows out of memory error on console.
is it due to 90 fields together in the database???
or it means something else.
plz help
thanks in advance.

thanks for reply
in menubar i have many menuitems.
when i click on menuitem1, say there are about 15 fields in which i fill data an insert it into database.
in next menuitem i.e menuitem2, i have 25 fields in which i view / read 15 fields which were previously entered in menuitem1, and i add another 10 fields to the database.
this way it happens in all other menuitems.
i had to follow this way as i m making a project for a company having many departments.
the code is too large to post over here, if i could get your e-mail address i can mail it to you.

Out of Memory error, though nothing has changed?

I have two large projects, 65mb each, which I have had open in FCP 7 with no problems for months.
Then I left them closed for a month and worked on other projects.
Now I can't open either of those two earlier projects without receiving the Out of Memory error (I'm trying to open each one individually). There are many things to look for when this error appears, as found all over this forum and others. So here is my checklist of facts:
Neither project contains any PSD files or any sequences with text files in them.
One of those projects contains no sequences whatsoever, only clips.
All media for these projects is Apple AVC-Intra 100M 1280x720.
The RAID drive containing the media for these projects has not been used since the last time the projects were open and working fine.
The edit system has not changed in any way:
- FCP 7.0.3
- Mac Pro
- OS 10.6.6
- 2x2.66 Quad Core
- 6 GB RAM
- LaCie 8TB RAID, with 1.7TB free
All RAM is functioning fine.
I've trashed FCP preferences and received the same results anyway.
Again, both projects were working fine on this same computer, same version of FCP, even with BOTH projects open at once.
Also, I've been working with other projects on this same system with no problems, some nearly as large as these two.
So... none of the obvious culprits are at work here to cause this error, unless I'm missing something.
Anyone have any ideas? This is a bit scary, as these are documentary projects which are only going to get bigger, and I've done projects bigger than this several times without problems. Hopefully I'm missing something simple...
Thanks.

I think I found the culprit, and it's an obvious one:
My original big project, 65mb, had a bin that was created by an assistant before I began work on the project and I never saw it. That bin has sequence strings for every tape/card loaded into the project, so it had about 65 rather long sequences. Once I found it, I moved that bin to its own project and deleted it from the original project.
Now the original project opens, and I can open multiple projects at once, no Out of Memory error.
So it's the bin full of sequences that did it. If I had seen that bin before I wouldn't have had to run this up the flagpole here. But at least it reinforces that word of advice that has appeared in many previous posts about this error: Don't overload a project with long sequences. Break up the sequences into smaller projects and archive them.
And my own addition to that advice: If you're an assistant setting up a project for an editor, make sure your editor knows what sequences you've tucked away in bins hidden inside bins inside bins, etc.
All good to go! (Until the next error... stand by...)

Out of memory error, possibly corrupted fs?

I just got my tour, and I love it. However I ran into a weird problem.
The desktop manager never show the BB messager as installed, then it tries to uninstall it. If I check the checkbox it installs over it and breaks it.
I was able to fix the messanger by reinstalling over the old one from the app store OTA.
Now, vilingo wont run, it throws an out of memory error. I've tried removing it and reinstalling it every way I can think of.
Also sometimes it takes 20+ minutes to reboot.
The crux of the matter is I could easily exchange it at this point, do you think I should or should I wipe it? any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Chance

No, not corrupted. You are out of memory..... just like a computer that is bogged down with too much stuff, your phone can only handle so much. The reason your apps keep disabling is most likely it is archiving them to make room for everything else you've got going. The biggest memory muncher is most likely pics or videos... as few as 5 or 6 pics and throw your phone off. The other thing you might be noticing is missing call logs, messages, or emails.... again, the phone is automatically clearing them out of memory (possibly before you[ve even had a chance to view them) to make room for everything else you've saved to it.
As far as startup times, again... MEMORY. the more files the blackberry has to scan through when it starts up (and it scans EVERY file EVERY time) the longer its going to take.
The solution for all of these issues is to get a memory card and use your desktop software to transfer all of the pic video and ringtone content to it. you can transfer one the phone itesself but its a time consuming process. after this is done pull your battery... startup still takes about 10 min on the tour but you should be ok. The phone will automatically save media to the SD card once its installed.

Fireworks Out of Memory Error

I guess this will be nothing more than a rant about my disappointment with this software.
I recently introduced Fireworks into my web design workflow. I hop around PS, Ai, and Fw quite a bit. I am running a Quad-Core, 64-bit, 8GB Windows beast. I shouldn't be having this issue "out of memory error" 3-4 times a day. But I do. I searched the web for a solution, but there is none, expect the awkward - limit the number of opened files and restart every hour. Not acceptable.
I'm truly disappointed in the lack of support or feedback that Adobe has addressed with this issue.
If I could, I would switch software suites. This is truly an enormous oversight that has no foreseeable solution. I love Fw and Ps, but unfortunately I have lost faith in Adobe.
I can't imagine the woes that CS 6 will produce.
Unhappily yours.
If there is a solution, what is it?

My understanding is that data is collected from the bug list but generally, the engineers don't respond back. Based on the consisteny (number of similar bug reports) of a problem, it gets attention of the dev team, but then it has to be given a priority. It's unlikely the FW team has the numbers or resources that say, the Photoshop team has. So very likely it comes down to picking and choosing. What battles can be won? What is feasible to improve on, while still adding useful new features in the time span allowed? Not easy decisions and regardless, not every one will be happy with the choices.
Based on CS5, I can see that Adobe is committed to improving performance and memory management in FW. FW CS5 was a vast improvement over CS4 in those areas. Perfect? No. But much better.
For a detailed look at some of these improvements, check out these two articles:

Acrobat XI Pro "Out of Memory" Error.

We just received a new Dell T7600 workstation (Win7, 64-bit, 64GB RAM, 8TB disk storage, and more processors than you can shake a stick at). We installed the Adobe CS6 Master Collection which had Acrobat Pro X. Each time we open a PDF of size greater than roughly 4MB, the program returns an "out of memory" error. After running updates, uninstalling and reinstalling (several times), I bought a copy of Acrobat XI Pro hoping this would solve the problem. Same problem still exists upon opening the larger PDFs. Our business depends on opening very large PDF files and we've paid for the Master Collection, so I'd rather not use an freeware PDF reader. Any help, thoughts, and/or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Chris

As mentioned, the TEMP folder is typically the problem. MS limits the size of this folder and you have 2 choices: 1. empty it or 2. increase the size limit. I am not positive this is the issue, but it does crop up at times. It does not matter how big your harddrive is, it is a matter of the amount of space that MS has allocated for virtual memory. I am surprised that there is an issue with 64GB of RAM, but MS is real good at letting you know you can't have it all for use because you might want to open up something else. That is why a lot of big packages turn off some of the limits of Windows or use Linux.
