Pro 2.0 and CS4 not enough ram and fddshow.

I would be very happy if somebody might help me..
Exporting like above cause that movie is about 100x accelerated and remaining footage is whole black and blind, i mean 100minutes material is squeezed into 1 minute and remaining 99 minutes are black and no sound, but exporting with xvid or dxiv of 264 codec is fine.
Problem 4.
When exporting to microsoft avi 640x480 30 fps 2x44.1kHz pcm uncompressed it takes ages to export and problem is not harddrive.
Problem 3:
movies from youtube etc converted to avi are starting fddshow filter, one per each footage movies. It become unstable at about 30 fddshows started.
Movies from canon are read by adobe without probelm.
Problem 2:
When there is no k-lite in the system and i start premiere ram consumption goes from 0 to 1.8GB and software tells me: resources critical and when hittin 1.95GB i tells me not enough resources and disappears - this both apply to pro 2.0 and cs4 (difference is only that cs4 consumes ram by 2 processes not 1 like pro 2.0)
When there i k-lite in system and i start adobe, ram consumption goes from 0 to 950MB and adobe is stable and workable, the same cs4.
Problem 1:
There are almost no effect in timeline, just volume and some footages are under txt, nothing more
some photos bmp and jpegs
sometimes movies from youtube downloaded by youtube downloader and changed from mp4 into 640x480 30fps avi by the same program
footages from canon s2 and s5 mostly, 640x480 30fps motion jpeg in avi container, 2x44100 pcm
materials:
3 movie line + 3 sound lines
640x480 progressive 30fps 2x44100
setup:
adobe premiere pro 2.0 and cs4
t7200 + 4GB ram (visible 3.3) + win xp 32bit
Equipment:
Hello

Hello
My system is completly new:
- 2 weeks old winndows xp sp2

@Bill Hunt
Please read my post one more time, from unknown reason for me Enter was working on this forum like: shift text down, and write above old txt, no idea why it happend but it happened, sorry.
sources: canon s2 and s5 mostly: 640x480 30fps progressive, avi contained motion jpeg, easy compression, 10 minutes of such material is about 1GB, audio 2x44.1kHz 16 bits pcm (wav)
alternative source which when added always starts ffdshow are movies from youtube downloaded by youtubedownloader to mp4, and changed into avi 640x480 2x44.1 by the same program, codec unknown i will tell you which coded when reaching home
Project setup: 640x480, 30 fps (30.00000 not 29.97 etc) progressive scan, 2x44.1kHz I runs in laptop dell xps 1710 (4GB, t7200) but is connected to external nas with gigabit lan and is capable of speeds around 66MB/s
Exporting target is: uncompressed avi, 640x480 30 fps sound pcm, which will be compressed later by virtual dub to x264 or xvid with sound as aac or mp3 or maybe even wav
Movie will be exported to youtube in parts per 15 minutes, and located on my website.
sometimes i export in adobe to avi (to check how it looks, and sent to family to check effect) with xvid coded areound 7 quantization, it looks ok, but shows artefacts is my cpu was busy with other task
@Harm Millaard
This is fairly clean install - please check above, i use 4 windowses on the same hard drive:
- video editing, programming microcontrollers, general stuff, experiments with codecs, so "video editing windows" is not contaminated with other crap
. You ask why i am using k-lite. So when i dont have k-lite and start adobe and open project, adobe package eats ram and at level about 1.95GB is shows errors about system resources and crash itself (not crush just disappears from ram). I have no idea why it happens but it happens.

Photoshop CS4 - Not enough RAM to open a file???

I get this wonderful "Not Enough RAM" message, while trying to open a big TIF file (over 100 Mb). Till now it happened with big files that were saved in Windows. All other programs, including Photoshop CS3 opens the files just great. Resaving files in any other app helps, but this thing is a joke - I'm thinking going back to CS3... : (
Thanks.

This is not about defragmenting the drive. I am attempting to make you aware that you will always have fragmentation on your drive in a one-drive laptop, no matter what you do.
Photoshop needs to find a single, contiguous, non-fragmented chunk of drive space to create the scratch disk. On a one-drive machine you will never, ever know exactly what the largest, unfragmented chunk of drive space you have at any given instant is, but you can bet your life on the fact that it will be a lot less than the total amount the Finder shows you.
As I just typed, your drive will inevitably be fragmented even before you boot up, and the swap files of the OS will further fragmented once it's running.
You can use an external drive for scratch, just make sure it's formatted as Mac HFS+ Extended and NOT case-sensitive. Do a Get Info (Command I) on the icon of the external hard drive in the Finder and check "Ignore Ownership of this Drive" if necessary.
Photoshop creates the scratch drive the instant you go to open an existing file or create a new one, setting its size on assumptions it makes based on your workflow history, not just the size of the file you're opening. Thus, it is possible that the scratch disk sizes for CS3 and for CS4 will be different on your machine. This will be the case if you have worked on bigger files or with more layers. etc, on one version than on the other one, even for the very same file. The difference could be dramatic.

Issue using logic pro with bfd 2.0 - not enough RAM?

Right, I posted a little while ago when I first installed BFD 2 on my mac pro, and was having problems whenever I tried to use any effects (either in Logic itself or in the BFD 2 program) whilst using BFD 2. What I think I forgot to mention was I was trying to do different processing on different "areas" of the drum kit, and I wanted to use the Logic effects, so I had a number of tracks with BFD 2 loaded as the instrument.
Well, I phoned a local Apple-certified shop to ask for advice on this, as nothing I'd tried had fixed the issue. The guy suggested I try a clean install of the OS and Logic and BFD 2, to see if that fixed the issue. I* have done this, and logic now works with BFD 2 and effects when I have just one BFD 2 tracks, but as soon as I add another and program some MIDI notes into the 2nd instance, even just a bar or two, then play the whole song, there is a large amount of digital noise. Now, on my mac pro, i only have one HDD - the system disk - and 4 gb ram. I had just now come to the conclusion that, with the minimum spec for Logic being 1GB, and for BFD 2 being 1GB, with the OS running as well it's actually likely the system is short of RAM. But now I see that it can also be an issue if your Logic project is stored on your system disk.
So I'm thinking of getting both an extra, internal (SATA) HDD, and an extra 8GB RAM at least. Is this likely to solve the issue? I'm not currently using an interface with it, and as I say, with just one BFD 2 track, it's fine, the issue is caused when I try to add more BFD 2 tracks. Obviously, without an interface, I am unable to try recording audio to see if there is an issue with that too.

You also need to upgrade to the latest version of BFD2. There were many fixes. You should also install BFD2 samples on another hard drive. The 4 gigs of memory you have is more than enough. Your main problem is probably not installing the samples of a separate drive. Hope this helps. BFD2 is an incredible program once you have it set up properly. As noted previously switching from 24 bit to 16 bits will help also.

Photoshop CS2 Not Enough RAM error message (wrong forum)

For some strange reason, my copy of Photoshop CS2 (macintosh) has started giving me an error message after program start up: could not complete your request because there is not enough RAM. I don't have to do anything. This message pops up about 1 minute after I start the program. The program works fine. I just close the window and go on. I haven't installed any new plug ins or changes to my prefs or hardware configuration. This just started for no apparent reason. It doesnt't refuse to work, it's just annoying. I've tried deleting the Photoshop prefs file and reinstalling the program from the master disc. Didn't help. I'm running OS 10.4.2 on a dual 1.8 gz processor mac with 4 gigs of RAM; Photoshop set to retain 60% of that. Anyone with any ideas about this, or should I just quit whining and go back to work...

Can you tell us which API is failing (error code) and what amount of memory you are requesting? I've seen 'not enough ram' when the entrypoint gets messed up and you actually have a Pipl problem.

Illustrator can't open my saved file because there is not enough RAM. Can someone help me?

I was working all last night on artwork using Illustrator and now I cannot get it to open. The message reads that there is not enough RAM. This is after a long pause of waiting for illustrator to read the file. The file is 37 MB large, so it doesn't seem that daunting for my MacBook Pro with 8 GB of RAM. Any thoughts? Other files open with no problem.
After I hit ok on the message (Not enough RAM), it seems to be trying to work on something in the Illustrator file and then repeats saying there is not enough RAM.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, there was a message on my file that suggested I save it with the PDF compatibility, but I am not able to do that till I get in. I am at the Apple store now to see if they can help me out. It would be sad to lose all that inspiration I put into my artwork.
Thanks for your help, I will need to be careful how much I load on one Illustrator file in the future.

Error: Not Enough RAM to Open Small Files

MacBook5,2
Macintosh OSX 10.6.3
4GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 9400M - 256MB
Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended (11.0.1)
I am rendering TIFF files out of Maya that are 11880 x 3400 pixels. The file size ranges between 100 - 160 MB. Whenever I attempt to open one of these images in Photoshop, I receive this error: "Could not complete the Open command because there is not enough RAM."
I just ran Adobe Update and I have all the latest updates.
I deleted my Photoshop preferences and restarted Photoshop.
I have my Scratch disk set to an internal solid state disk with 30 GB of free space.
I have Photoshop's RAM set to 3000MB.
Despite all of this, I still receive the "Could not complete the Open command because there is not enough RAM" error every time I attempt to open the images rendered out of Maya.
The images from Maya are completely normal 8bit TIFF files with neither an alpha channel nor a depth channel. I can successfully open them in After Effects, but this is useless to me. I need to edit them individually in Photoshop.
Photoshop's error is clearly not due to file size. I have HDR panoramas with dimensions greater than 11880 x 3400 that go up to 1GB in file size that I can open and work on in Photoshop without any problem.
Why is Photoshop not playing nicely with these TIFF images?

I still want to a solution to the above problem, but I have found a temporary work-around using After Effects.
Import the image into After Effects and then save the image as another file using Composition --> Save Frame as --> File.
As I said earlier, After Effects is capable of reading the files that are coming out of Maya even though Photoshop is not.
When I use After Effects to save the image as a TIFF, Photoshop is now able to open the new TIFF file.
This, however, is only a temporary work-around. It is not optimal to resave the image before I start working on it. I am probably loosing some precious data in the After Effects conversion. As a matter of fact, the images tend to be 40MB smaller in size when I export them through After Effects, even though I am using the same file type, no compression, and still 8 bits.
Now, back to the problem: What is wrong with Photoshop?

Not Enough Ram? Working on project in DVDSP3

When I am working on a project in DVDSP3, I get the beachball of death, and have to force quit the program. I find that this occurs more often I get deeper into the project working on themes, etc.
Is this related to not enough ram? I am using a Macbook Pro Intel DC 2.0, 120 HD, 256 X1600 Video card, 1GB single slot ram.
Thanks-
Kevin

While RAM is any easy target, I would not be too quick to blame it for your performance issue. I use Final Cut Pro HD, Adobe After Effects 6.5, etc. on my similarly configured MacBook Pro. Have you repaired permissions lately? How many other programs are you running? Check your activity log to make sure no apps are "hogging" system resources. I have an HP LaserJet All In One Machine that is notorious for bogging down the system when printing Adobe files. The point is while RAM does affect performance, there are many other factors as well and without more information it is difficult to tell you whether spending hard earned $$$ on more memory is the best course of action.

Not enough RAM - CS2

Hi!
To begin I will say that we have been using Photoshop CS 2 in our company for about two years without a problem. The problems started last friday. I have not changed any settings, installed any plugins etc. before these problems started. Neither has the computer hardware changed.
Photoshop starts nicely. You can use it without a problem for a while, until suddenly it says (depending on the action) "Not enough RAM". After that I can't save, but I can continue editing as if nothing had happened. Normally Photshop takes roughly 1gt of RAM when idle, but the allocated memory just keeps on growing the further I go with my photoshopping. After a while the Photoshop memory count rises to about 2gt. I have 3gt of RAM and there's always about 2gt not in use when Photoshop is inactive.
Sometimes when i launch Photoshop my whole computer crashes. No blue screens of death or anything, just a simple reset. This also occured while i was starting the uninstallation program.
The best way to see this problem is with the Text tool. Creating a text layer takes much more longer than it used to. Copy-pasting is just something I can't do because it takes forever.
I have read the FAQ, adjusted history and cache settings to small, scratch disks (1st startup, 2nd another partition), reseted my preferences and ultimately reinstalled Photoshop. My Photoshop is up-to-date. I have tried running Photoshop on Windows 98 compatibility setting. My computer temperatures are good. I have also defragmented and ran memtests.
Thank you for your help, it's really hard to get jobs done right now. I will gladly answer your questions.

Hi, same problem here -
I have been using CS2 for 4 years, and I keep getting the same message regarding not enough RAM over and over again during the years. It's not happenig all the time - it seems to pop up every two or three months. Usually I don't get the message, but sometimes, when I work on files with a lot of text - such as broshures or flyers, or menu pages - it's almost impossible to work.
It takes forever to initialise the text engine, sometimes I get the message "something prevented the text engine from being initialised".
I know I will get the message for not enough RAM when all the text disappears whie I am typing and when I click anything after that that annoying message pops up.
I don't know waht to do - I save every 2-3 minutes, because I don't know when it will surprise me. It's really frustrating- I broke two keyboard while "dealing" with the problem.
My PC specs are:
AMD Athlon 2800+
1,8 GHz, 2 Gb RAM
I tired allocating 70 % of my RAM to Photoshop, then I changed it to 50 %, then I read somewhere that it is good to be 30 % - did that, too.
I have only one partition on my hard drive,one physical drive; first scratch disk - startup, second - C:/
Any ideas?

Could not use the Brush tool because there is not enough RAM? Photoshop CS6?

That and I couldn't even save a project I was working because (There was not enough RAM)
My computer is running Windows 7 with 4 (3 usable) GB Ram, Pentium Dual Core; @ 2.00 Ghz
-I have allocated all possible RAM to CS6
-I set 6 scratch disks (the first two are 1TB external HDD)
-I fixed the file peeling so that there is quite a bit of it
- I have Photoshop CS5 still installed (it works fine) as well as Elements 9, I don't know if that could be a problem or not.
I like the new features of CS6 especially the new 5000 px brush, but half the time I can't even use it because of this problem! What can I do to fix it?
I mostly use it for digital art so the pictures get to be at most 5000-3300 pixels. I get the problem mostly when I use brushes at 5000 px. CS5 works just fine and it uses the scratch disks I emplace, it seems as though CS6 doesn't even use them.

Obviously, you are running Win7 32-bit OS. Is that correct?
What are the full specs. of your Windows Virtual Memory, the Page File? What is its size, location, and is it static, or dynamically managed?
With a 32-bit OS, I would set the Page File to a fast, internal, physical HDD, set it to be statically managed, and size it to about 2.5x the installed RAM (~ 10GB in your case, and with a 32-bit OS).
That should provide more resources, and by being statically managed, save you CPU cycles too.
I also agree that you do NOT want to allocate all RAM to PS, as the OS needs some too. That will be counter-productive.
Good luck,
Hunt

Getting "could not...because not enough (RAM) often

Hey guys, I think my Photoshop CC 64 bit has something wrong with it. Maybe it was one of the updates I've done. I have windows 8, intel i5 4th gen, 16 gb ram and a junk graphic card at work. I just turned on my computer for the day and opened my file which is big, I've been working with files this size for years, 1.5gb and smaller. This file says it's 1.14gb in photoshop. I opened this file did a few things and now it won't save becase "not enough (RAM).
In my task manager it tells me my photoshop is using 563.2mb of memory. In photoshop I have 10,917mb allocated for it to use. I have 535BG of free space on my hard drive and I have an external USB SSD drive plugged in that I'm using as another scratch disk. This has been happening a lot over the last month. I haven't installed anything new and this morning the only things I have open are outlook, Photoshop, Lync (internal messenger for work) and word with one doc open. Photoshop has the one file open. I have the new 4th gen processor with GPU on it, not sure if I'm set up right for that or if that would even be related to this problem...any suggestions?

OK. So you are stuck because you need to save your file, and can't close Photoshop or restart the computer until you have done so?
What do you see in Preferences > Performance? How much of your 16Gb is available, and how much are you using?
Is that external SSD still marked as scratch space? I believe that you have to reinstate external drives as Scratch space every time you restart the computer, unless those drives are mounted.
How much Scratch space is allocated? You are going to need a huge amount of Scratch with a file that size.
What do you see in Task Manager > Performance tab? How much RAM is used?
My best guess is that your problem is insufficient Scratch space, and that external drive is no longer allocated. Check the above and come back.
Good luck.

Not enough ram when there is

I'm trying to open a small .pdf file
Photoshop is telling me it wont open, that there is not enough ram.
It's not on all files, I tried re-saving the file it is messing up on but it still does it.
I'm running the newest macbook pro with 16g ram
300gig of space is available.
I tried rebooting the computer.

What exactly is the error message that comes up? Is it something like - "Not enough disk space to open"
The actual error message is really helpful in questions like this

Not enough RAM in Photoshop CC

Hi There,
I'm using the trial version as I am very keen to subscribe but I keep getting the error message not enough RAM :-(
Any solutions would be very much appreciated.
Haley

Are you using the 64 bit version? If your conputer has a 64 bit OS, then you should have both 32 and 64 bit versions of PS installed. The 32bit version can only acces 2.5 Gb RAM. 64 bit as much as you can fit to your main board

PS CC 2014 requires less than what my laptop is capable of, but still says "not enough ram". Help?

I have an Acer Aspire with Windows 7. I downloaded Photoshop CC 2014, which said it's requirements were less than what my laptop has, plus I upgraded the ram to 8 already. If I go to lighting, it opens, stalls, then says not enough ram, and another message about making sure things are enabled, etc etc, which I have already done. What do I do?

It says ram on one message, and talks about graphics card on another. The first message that pops up says the 3D feature require that "use graphics processor is enabled in the performance preferences. Your video card must meet the minimum requirement and you may need to check that your driver is working correctly. Once that message is closed the next message that pops up says unable to perform function you do not have enough RAM.

Not enough RAM error while running batch command

Bug in photoshop creative cloud. When using the "batch" editing feature after 5 images being edited the same way (batch processing) an error code pops up. "Error:not enough ram" and then i have to restart which does the same thing over and over again. Running a quad core i7 1tb hard drive 16gb of memory so there should be no error code. Help please and if anyone has a fix besides and update could you email me at <edit to remove email address> Thanks! Cant post this in the photoshop.com community because of another bug. I have done everything from creating new scratch disks off of other hdd's allotting more ram to go to psd (since i can only use 3255mb because of a useless limiter on photoshop) to rebooting computer and nothing helps at all.

This error is somewhat generic. Can mean not enough free disk space, insufficient page file, ram, or buffer error.

IM using windows xp, I have 2.5Gigs of ram, 100Gigs free space on C drive and 100gigs free space on my other drive (J:). I have checked the scratch disk prefernce and allocated 65% of ram to memory. I have also made my J: drive the number one scratch disk and C:drive as number 2. I have defragged my computer, and made sure no other programs ar running at the same time when im using photoshop. i have checked for viruses and spyware...and it still wont save....can someone please help i dont no what else to so?

What is a "scratch drive"?
How do I make sure there are not large temp files on it?
How do I make sure the RAM allocated to PS in PS Preferneces is not to high?
A "scratch drive" is one of your hard drives (C:\ if you only have one) that PS uses to write to as an extension of normal memory. It is needed even if you have lots of RAM.
In PS, if you go to Edit > Preferences > Performance, you will see not only the amount of RAM allocated to PS (which should be in the recommended "Ideal" range) but also which scratch disks are nominated. With more than one hard drive, it is best not to have the system disk as scratch.
With PS closed, you can then look in Windows Explorer to check if there are any large temp files left on that drive and delete them.

Pro 2.0 and CS4 not enough ram and fddshow.
