"Out of memory" message when rendering - MP4 files imported

I imported MP4 files into FCP7 and I get an "out of memory" message when I try to render a sequence. I don't think it's the size of the file because I often work with much larger files without any problem. I even saved the MP4 to MOV files with QT and imported those, and still it gives me the "out of memory" message. VERY ANNOYING. There seems to be something in those original MP4 files that FCP doesn't like. Any idea how to get around this?

Not to be rude or insult intelligence, but What format is the timeline in. Not the video files (It's great that you put them to PR422, but if your timeline's native format is something other than PR422, Final cut is going to try to render files in that format... )
And Again please define "Huge"... How big of a hard drive are you using, and how much RAM space do you have? I checked your profile for any further information, but found none. these are key things to helping figure out your problem.

Out of memory message when rendering

I have read much about this issue in other posts, but havn't been able to solve my problem.
when rendering a sequence of large still in DVC Pro 1080i, about a 20% of it rendered, then the message "out of memory" comes up.
The rendered part looks sweet.
I have been able to render about another 20%, completing about 40% of the project rendered after the initial message, then the "out of memory" pop up comes up again, and after that, i will try to render more, the render % bar comes up, then just gives up and doesn't render anything.
All of my scratch disks are set to a 2TB external sata drive with tons of room.
I've deleted all of the render files in the Tools>Render Manager and that just made me re-render everything again, to come back to the same spot of "out of memory" at around 40% again.
Should i try bumping up the still cache up to like 50% from a current 10%?
Im working with all stills, maybe i should bump it up to 100%?
Open to suggestions. . .

O.k.
I understand now that FCP can only use up to 4 GB of RAM. Sooo. . . if rendering large still images with a lot of filters: de-interlace, flicker filter, broadcast safe, I could see why you wouldn't be able to render a long sequence of these big stills. I believe this is why i was getting the stopping of rending and the "out of memory" message. So i once again cleared my renders in the Render Manager. I closed the projected and restarted.
I began to try and render just sections of the sequence, thinking that this couldn't possibly max out the maximum RAM used by FCP. Though this didn't work.
With just a small section of the sequence selected, it again recieved the "not enough memory" message, and FCP wouldn't render anything else after making another small selction of the clips.
Why is it not possible for me to render small sections at a time?
Is editing large stills in HD not possible in FCP for the reason of not being able to use enough RAM?
Please, any advice or imformation on this will help me figure out what application i should use, or if there is a way to do this in FCP for editing still images with Heavily panned and zooms for a HiDef sequence, thanks

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

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.

"Out of Memory" Message When Viewing Files

What the origin of the "out of memory message"? I can't view a 1.3 MB pdf and am wondering what the source of this message is. Any ideas? TIA.

"Out Of Memory" message when trying to paste Audio Configuration (Logic 9)

Hello
The song I want to copy Audio Configuration from is quite large, it contains the whole album actually. I suppose that if I truncated it I could get the copying done, but isn't there a way to increse memory allocated to Logic instead ? Or are 16 GB RAM not enough ?
Thanks for any info

I truncated the source song to make it simple and I still get the Out of Memory message. No other app is running except RME's TotalMix & FireFace USB. Is there any other solution than copying all channel strip settings one by one ?
Is it any different in Logic X ?

"Out of Memory" message when working in CS2 programs

Working with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign CS2, running Tiger. Yesterday I had all three open and tried to place a psd file into an Indd file. I got a message of "Out of Memory."
Also finding that if I have Illustrator & InDesign open at the same time and try to copy/paste an .ai vector into InDesign (which I could do with no problem a few months ago), InDesign crashes.
I'm not technologically savvy, and don't understand where to look to figure out what might be eating up the memory, etc. - -
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

There's memory, and memory.
There's RAM which is what you see when you select "About this Mac" under the apple in the upper left corner of the screen. For example, on my computer it says 1.5GB SDRAM. This is for very short term usage and the more you have the faster programs will run, and the more programs you can have open.
Many programs also use hard drive space for temporary files, and I believe the ones you are using are particularly demanding. OSX itself needs a lot of hard drive space too for its temporary files. A rule of thumb is to always leave 15-20% of the hard drive free for these files. In your case since you are also using programs that needs lots of temporary space free I'd always make sure you have 10+ GB free at all times, maybe more.

Error out of memory message when trying to view a clip

Hi, when I'm trying to view a clip in the viewer for any of my projects, it comes up with an error message saying "out of memory" Now, it's like this whenever I'm trying to view any clips from any of my projects after I double click on the clip or sequence. Then, after the error message comes up and I hit ok the viewer goes down. I just recently bought an external hard drive, and put my final cut in my new HD. I have more than enough space. And this was the main reason I decided to by a new HD, because my actual system on my mac does not have enough space. Please help as this issue is really bothering me. Thanks.

The applications themselves (fcp, motion, soundtrack pro, dvdsp color) want to reside on your system drive. You can however putt all the auxilliary stuff on the other drive: livetype templates, soundtrack pro stuff)

Out of memory error when writing large file

I have the piece of code below which works fine for writing small files, but when it encounters much larger files (>80M), the jvm throws an out of memory error.
I believe it has something to do with the Stream classes. If I were to replace my PrintStream reference with the System.out object (which is commented out below), then it runs fine.
Anyone else encountered this before?
     print = new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream(new File(a_persistDir, getCacheFilename()),
                                                            false));
//      print = System.out;
          for(Iterator strings = m_lookupTable.keySet().iterator(); strings.hasNext(); ) {
               StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
               String string = (String) strings.next();
               String id = string;
               sb.append(string).append(KEY_VALUE_SEPARATOR);
               Collection ids = (Collection) m_lookupTable.get(id);
               for(Iterator idsIter = ids.iterator(); idsIter.hasNext();) {
                    IBlockingResult blockingResult = (IBlockingResult) idsIter.next();
                    sb.append(blockingResult.getId()).append(VALUE_SEPARATOR);
               print.println(sb.toString());
               print.flush();
} catch (IOException e) {
} finally {
     if( print != null )
          print.close();
}

Yes, my first code would just print the strings as I got them. But it was running out of memory then as well. I thought of constructing a StringBuffer first because I was afraid that the PrintStream wasn't allocating the memory correctly.
I've also tried flushing the PrintStream after every line is written but I still run into trouble.

Out of memory error when rendering.

I edited a 40 minute show (25P) using Aspect 3.4 codec. When I export to DVD in low quality 1 pass everything is okay. However, when I export to DVD in High Quality 1 pass or low quality 2 pass I get an error half way through the rendering (out of memory error). What's the story?

Try:
Error:Out of memory

"Out of memory" message when trying to copy audio configuration between songs

Hello again,
Any suggestion welcome about how to do paste an audio configuration successfully in 9.1.8. Here both the source and target songs are quite light stuff, 20 tracks, not much automation, never more than 3 inserts. The computer has 16 GB of Ram. Not sure if Logic X has the same problem but I can't afford to switch just yet. Please help if you can... Thanks !

Mbelekete,
Although I am in 64 bit mode,
Are you sure? Go to Logic Pro's menu bar, About Logic Pro and check the pop up widnow for it to actually say 64bit mode as some people have reported unchecking the 32bit mode option in Get Info but Logic continued to boot up in 32bit mode usually because of a permissions issue with their Applications folder.
Anyhow.. assuming you really running Logic Pro 9 in 64bit mode
Logic only uses more memory when it needs to do so... such as when loading in large sample libraries... for example. so by default it will only use, say 3GB of Ram itself upon start...
Safari caneasily use more memory depending on for example, how many tabs you have open.. what the websites you are viewing use.. such as HTML5, Java routines.. Flash etc.. and so on.... So its not so strange really.

Get out of memory error when linking Frame doc to RoboHelp project

I just upgraded to TC Suite 5.
Now I'm trying to link FrameMaker files to my RoboHelp project. The FrameMaker files are from a document that was done in Frame 9 (TC Suite 3.5) and now has been converted to Frame 11. It's working fine in Frame 11. No errors when opening any of the files in Frame 11.
I created a new project in RH 11 and tried linking the FM files to it. Some work, but some bring on an Out of Memory message. Interestingly, one file that is 68MB worked fine, one file that's only 58MB brings that message.
I'm going to try using an Externalize Graphics addon that worked well with the old Frame--I can only hope it works with FM 11 now.
Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening, and any solutions besides externalizing the graphics and trying to reduce the file size?
Thanks.

I was finally able to get the files to work by opening and saving in FrameMaker numerous times.
Re: your questions. . . I did not try importing directly. I linked and then generated. Yes, the linking did work with RH9 from the TCS 3.5.

Blackberry Desktop Software "Out of Memory Message"

Very new to blackberry. Have had it two days. Dig it so far.
On a mac using the Blackberry Desktop Software, and tonight when updating the blackberry using this software, I started getting a message: "This device has run out of memory while synchronizing your Notes and Memos."
But in the Device Manager, it states that I have 1.2 Gb free memory, and on the blackberry itself it states I have 1.6Gb free. So I have plenty of memory. What's the cause of this error message, and how do I fix it?
Thanks.

Error message when compiling book "file is corrupt" referring to a photo. Or "cannot find original photo". Can you use photos that have been "edited" out of "Book Mode"?

I did copy it to my desktop, but it still won't let me open it. I think the file on the disc might be corrupt or something like that though the cd itself checks out fine as far as viruses go. I was able to verify the disc, but that's about it. My husband tried it on his iMac and we have the same issue. It's unzipping the folder, but won't let us open the folder on both the Mac Book Pro or the iMac by double clicking, going to file/open or right clicking. It just keeps saying the same message as I posted above. I think I'm just going to have the client put the pictures on either a memory card or a USB memory stick so she won't have to compress the files for zipping purposes. It's been too frustrating trying to open this folder on this cd she gave me. She said she created/zipped the cd on her Mac Book Pro but it sure won't open on mine.
