Warning: "not enough memory to create shadow map vertice"

Hi,
First of all I am not too technically minded and not a great expert at after effects so keep this in mind when answering
I will post as much info to give a comprehensive idea of my setup and issue.
What I am basically asking is if I have after effects setup correctly for the spec I am running to achieve maximum benefit and performance?
And Is this perhaps a project composition error?
I have an after effects project that fails about 2.5 hours into rendering with this warning:
Now just a bit of background. I had 4gb and have upgraded to 8gb. The reason I upgraded was due to this error however I still have same issue (to be honest I dont see any improvement with ram previews etc).
This is my current PC spec:
I have changed virtual memory to double the RAM which I believe is what is recommended?
Now this is what after effects looks like on start up: Should it not utalise the 8gb?
When rendering it also just says using 4gb also:
Here are my multi processing and memory settings:
I hope this is detailed enough for someone to troubleshoot and help me out.
Kind Regards,
jmcall10

CS4 is 32bit. It will never use more than 4GB. Basic computer math. Simply consider turning off MP rendering to free up more RAM for the primary render instance. Shadow map size defaults to "comp size", but of course you may be able to reduce it. Check the advanced comp settings. Beyond that simply render to an image sequence so you can resume from the point of the crash/ hang without losing all your rendered stuff, then assemble the iamges to a clip file in a second pass.

i was talking to someone at frankfurt about this (possibly logic had crashed on something we were looking at - i don't remember) and they said error messages like that were for the developers. the fact you saw the error message yourself was in itself a bug.
i don't know for sure, but i think you are seeing some kind of bug relating to memory management. try deleting history and reorganizing memory if you get this error a lot.

Not Enough Memory To Create U_memTrackedObject, after effects error

Im doing basic keying of 10 minute hdv 1080i footage, with keylight. The background image is a 1080x1920 png still image. My macbook handles this same project just fine everyweek. Now my new mac pro can't do it. 20% percent into the export I receive the following errors.
"Not Enough Memory To Create U_memTrackedObject, (3k requested, 0 available)" then "not enough memory to create sound buffer," and sometimes "unable to allocate space for a 712x 402 image buffer." And after the errors appear, they will not go away unless i force quit the program.
I've adjusted the secret setting and some other settings to trouble shoot but just can't figure it out.
Please Help! Thanks guys!

Thanks! the update worked and my render completed in record time! I'll do some more tests to verify. I dont know why the "adobe updater" didn't fetch this update tho on either of my machines. Or maybe i just clicked cancel everytime

"not enough memory to create CORp_PSLMalloc" error msg

Hello everybody,
I've been getting this error msg every time I try to render a 1920x1080 composition. It has particles and high-res photos, but that's about it, (no video).
I'm on a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2.5 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM... and error msg actually reads "not enough memory to create CORp_PSLMalloc" / (132 K requested, 51K available)
Can anybody please tell me if I'm not setting this render right? I'm using H.264 compression, with highest quality and frame frequency set to automatic. it's 1920x1080 16:9 with no sound...
Thank you very much for your help!

Mylenium,
Applied all masks in the photoshop files, but had the same problem, same error msg... it's strange indeed, i've been having problems with the user and the session (that i also don't quite figure out, this user has administrator rights but when I try to save files into a folder i get an error msg saying that the file is locked and i can't). Do you think it might have something to do with that? Like, AE trying to access the files but somehow having problems with that?
I'm on a Imac by the way...
Thanks a lot for your help!!

After Effects: not enough memory to create COR_BibAlloc

After Effects: not enough memory to create COR_BibAlloc
(64k requested, 388412K available)
My comp is a 1280x720 30 second spot. Not too complex
of an animation with not that many layers (I know that
sounds vague). I've purged the comp and even tried the
"Secret" option in preferences to purge every 3 frames.
Keep getting this error message when I render. I am

RAM with AE 7
Thanks

Mmh, yes, indeed that very likely would be to blame on Quicktime. You probably had better luck with CS3 which handles H.264 natively via MediaCore. My guess that it is simply some odd allocation of the compression which could be fixed, probably even a simple export from QT Pro to the same format. Do the files correctly play in QT player? As an alternative to QT Pro I recommend attempting to run it thru SUPER©, which is free. Perhaps this will repair the streams and prevent the errors. If not, you will have to shelve out some money or find otehr ways of converting your footage, I'm afraid.

Windows Photo Gallery Warning - Not enough memory

I am currently going through holiday pictures and deleting a fair few. I have folders that consist of around 1500 pictures, which includes both jpegs and NEFs. When I view these I have no problem for the first say 50 or even 100 at times. Eventually it gets to a state where pretty much every second picture reveals the following warning:
'This photo can't be displayed. You might not have enough memory available. Close some programs or if your hard disk is almost full, free some disk space and try again.'
The odd thing is that if I go back to a previous picture and then to the one that hadn't worked, it works most of the time. If not, I keep clicking left and right and eventually it works again. I only bought the laptop today, so the space isn't the issue. It's got 8GB of RAM too, so I should be fine.
My model is: HP 15-G092SA
I am thinking it could have to do with the limited 2MB cache that the graphics card has. Could that be the problem? If so, how do I solve it. Google doesn't seem to reveal many answers.
Thanks to anyone that tries to help in advance.

Hello Yasumy, welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you're having an issue with Windows photo gallery warning you of not enough memory to view your pictures. I will try to assist you with this.
"I am thinking it could have to do with the limited 2MB cache that the graphics card has" - This is very valid, as you mention loading 50 - 100 photo's a time, there could just be too much data on the page to be processed at that time.
A few suggestions that may help:
view a smaller number of files
Separate file types into their own folder
Create additional sub folders with catagories. (1 folder with 1500 images is a lot of data to load at once)
A few questions:
Are you loading these to view off the notebook directly or are you loading the from another source? (Flash drive, SD card, Sky drive etc.)
What's the operating system running on the notebook?
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

Not enough space to create shadow copy Windows 8.1

I receive "There is not enough disk space to create the volume shadow copy on storage location." error on Lenovo IdeaPad when trying to create System mage Backup. When I check "Disk mgmt." console all volumes shown to have 100% free space.
Does anyone have a remedy for this problem?

It's kind of impossible for all volumes to have 100% free space if you're running Windows from one of them, eh?
But to get more space on a volume to make shadow copies do this (excerpted from my book). Note that this assumes you're using a Start menu replacement tool, but the same concepts apply when using the Start just substitute "Press
the Win key" for "Click Start".
Here's how to increase the depth of your System Restore history:
Click Start, type protection into the search box, and click
SystemPropertiesProtection.exe when it comes up.
Click on your C: drive in the Protection Settings
box to highlight it.
Click the [ Configure ] button.
Choose the ( ) Turn on system protection setting if it is not on.
Assuming you have sufficient disk space, increase the Max Usage slider
until you have allocated at least 20 GB of storage for System Restore settings. This will give you a nice, deep multi-week System Restore history if ever you should need it.

What is the solution to "not enough memory to create sound buffer"?

My old computer system crashed and I replaced it with a much faster one with a lot more memory however when I open my older projects into AE CS3 on my new system I can no longer hear the audio when I render my projects via ram?
I don't recall what the settings were on the old system but I didn't have this problem before and the old system was very slow compared to the new one. My old system only had 2Gs of ram and again did not have this problem. New new system has 12Gs ram. Even if I select a 30 second piece of video on stage it doesn't play back with audio however I see the audio levels moving.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thank you.

I checked the audio preview duration and it is: 0:00 08:00. What would you suggest it be?
If you have sufficient RAM, you can ramp it up to 30 seconds without risk. It is in any case only relevant whzen multiple audio sources need to be "mixed", i.e. you have overlapping fades and such. With only a single source, AE will attempt audio passthrough, so disabling the sync might have freed up that part. Presumably your audio outputs are tied to another component (e.g. HDMI audio) or the audio hardware itself is set up so as to spit out surround sound or something like that, so the individual ports are synchronized by default. Turning it of simply should decouple the channels and give you a normal stereo behavior. Probably not the "clean" solution as intended by the audio hardware vendor (I'm sure you are supposed to flip some switch in their multimedia center software panel), but if it works, noone can argue success.

Not enough memory to create DVD

What do I do if I don't have 20 GB to create my iMovie in iDvd? iPhoto and iTunes take up 50 GB together and I don't see anything else to delete.

I suppose you could buy another hard drive? And, if you keep all your media on a 2nd drive and your OS and apps on another, you will see a performance increase!

Does the "Warning! Not Enough Memory" bug still exist in Logic 8?

Hello everyone,
I'm wondering if the dreaded "warning, not enough memory" bug still exists in Logic 8. Here is a detailed account of the bug from Logic 7: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=767597&#767597
If this is fixed, I'm seriously considering upgrading mid-project! The film score I'm working on has many doubling parts that I'd like to edit at the same time in the matrix editor. However, editing multiple parts in the matrix editor seems provoke the little bugger, and I've already been bitten a few times in this project already. The only solution I've found is to stay clear of editing multiple parts at once (i.e. edit each parts individually, which obviously takes more time) or save before editing and hope I dont get bit.
I would LOVE to hear a report that this bug has been exterminated, and perhaps may upgrade mid project if thats the case.
Thanks in advance for your reply!

Heya,
I'm not familiar with the bug you're talking about. But would, as a fellow film composer, strongly urge you against the mid project switch.
I loaded in LP8 and ofcourse had a look at what it was all about, and it's really really fantastic. It also seems very stable. I fortunately have a side project that I am working on so switched to LP8 for that. Whilst I'm thankful to get my head around a very new approach for logic, I'm also thankful that I have this side project as it has illuminated a multitude of problems that exist with LP8 that would make any scoring process a bit of a headache to say the least. The main one being that if you don't have a very very powerful mac (I'm prepping a really fully loaded 8 core) you are not going to get anywhere near the performance out of Logic as you do with 7. This is a bottom up overhaul and it needs hardware to match. Heck even my 30" cinema display seems cramped and insubstantial on this new version. I would be so bold to say hold off until you have a hearty new mac and at least 8.2 is released IMHO but maybe try and get on it onto a smaller project to familiarize yourself before hand.

Not enough memory to print this document

Hello all,
I am trying to print tax forms, something I have done for years with no problem. I used a popular tax program to create a PDF file, copied this file to my G3/266 running Mac OS 9.1, and opened it using Acrobat Reader 4.0. Several pages show X's in boxes where the characters should be. I assume this is a font problem with Acrobat Reader 4.0, so I opened the file using Acrobat Reader 5.0, and all pages are rendered properly.
Once I tried to print, I remembered why I have been using Acrobat Reader 4.0: I've never been able to print from version 5.0. When printing from version 5.0, it spools to disk for background printing, then gives a warning: "Not enough memory to print this document". I tried printing the first page of Acrobat Reader's help pages - same problem. Here's a list of what I've tried:
Background printing on & off
Acrobat Memory: 12,288 KB (Suggested), 24 MB, 128 MB
Print Monitor: 16,384 KB, 128 MB
Always the same error.
My G3/266 has 768 MB of RAM
The printer is a LaserWriter Select, which is why I use Mac OS 9.1 to print.
Any ideas how to fix the font problem so I can print form Acrobat Reader 4.0 or how to make Acrobat Reader 5.0 print properly?

Hello Robert,
Thanks for the reply.
In Mac OS 9, the minimum and preferred memory allocation limits may be set by the user. By selecting the application's icon and selecting "Get Info", a panel provides these fields. The application always shows a suggested memory size. Acrobat Reader 5.0 has a suggested memory size of 12,288 KB, I tried raising it to 24 MB, then again to 128 MB. My computer has 768 MB of RAM.
I used TurboTax 2012 running under Mac OS 10.6.8 to create the PDF file by selecting the "Print Returns to Mail" button. It pulls up a system print window with the PDF button, from which I select the "Save as PDF..." option. On my Mac OS 10.6.8 system, the only printer listed in this window is the "Photosmart C4700 series [B6D0EB]", but this has always been the case, and is what I have always used to print.
I have opened the PDF file, created as described, using Preview, and used "Save As..." to save a new copy, using the "Black & White" Quartz filter, since this version of TurboTax wants to use colored tax forms. This should give me a PDF that is entirely created by Mac OS 10.6.8. I have also opened that PDF file again, and done a "Save As...", using the "Create Generic PDFX-3 Document" Quartz filter. I get the same errors when I try to print either PDF file.

"Warning! Not Enough Memory!" A bug in Logic 7.1?

Hello,
I seem to have discovered a bug in my Logic 7.1, and would like to see if this is a system specific bug, or a bug in everyones Logic. It seems to occur in the Matrix editor which results in the error ""Warning! Not enough memory! This operation cannot be undone" and follows with the mysterious deletion of random parts, and totally corrupts the file, preventing me from doing any further MIDI edits or even undo the mysterious deleated parts!
Here is how I discovered it. I selected two separate audio instrument tracks (violin and viola) and opened them in the matrix editor. To see both parts at once, I double clicked on the background, resulting in viewing all possible MIDI parts. I then selected from the "show selected regions only" from the view menu to isolate the violin and viola parts. I then copied some notes from the violin part and then double clicked on the viola part and attempted to paste the violin information I copied to the viola part. However, the information would not paste for some reason, so I decided to simply draw in the new notes, and BAM, the error message "Warning! Not enough memory" occurs.
I have been able to replicate this error on my own system on a few occasions, but it doesn't always seem to happen which is strange. I may be able to get around it by making sure I double click and isolate the part I want to copy first, before isolating where I want to copy it to, however I need to test this idea out more often to make sure. In the mean time I have tried "reorganizing memory" in logic, repairing permissions and running all maintenance scripts, Re-installed the OS 10.3.9 update (just incase something didn't install correctly), ran apple "hardware test" in which everything passed, and trashed and rebuild my preferences, and I'm still able to create this error.
I do feel something is wrong here, I was wondering if anyone may be willing to try to duplicate this on their system, just so I can be sure there is a Logic bug, or maybe there is something wrong with my personal setup. (MANY weird things have been happening lately, such as corrupted key commands in my preference files).
Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks for your comments Rohan. The reason this post was relatively clear headed is because I already went through my "freak out" process earlier that week! But thanks for your comments. I did try to make this post as clear as possible, in the hopes that others could potentially get the same "buggy" results. I guess the problem seems to stem from something bigger then how I arrived at it, but from what I've found researching it, the matrix editor does seem to play a consistent part.
Maybe we should send a quick note to apple, asking them to keep an eye out for this bug?
In answer to your specific questions, the size of my file before the error was 468KB, and the file after I saved the error is 544KB. Not a big enough difference to raise flags, as the error file does contain a few more seconds of music, some different parts, etc. The song itself is only 32 bars long @ 103bpm, and the total bars is set to 266. At the current tempo, the song would end at around 7min, much shorter then an hour. For the record, I have done many longer, more memory and CPU intensive pieces and experienced no such problems (except for the need to freeze a few tracks). For example, I recently scored a film that was heavy in Atmosphere, VSL, and Stormdrum, and ran an uncompressed film file and no problem. Now that I think of it, perhaps it could be an EXS problem even? For those who have experienced this error, were you editing a EXS part?
As for the Key commands problem, I will have to do more research and testing once I upgrade my system. I dont mind loosing my current key commands and preferences and starting again. In fact, I think I can do a better job customizing Logic now that I have a better idea of what it can do. However, if this seems to be a consistent problem, then I may not do too much customizing yet
Thanks again for the post Rohan. I hope everything runs soother in Tiger after a clean install. Any quick tips for optimal Tiger setups?

Flash CS3 says"Error creating Flash movie...not enough memory available."have 100GB of virtual mem

With large .fla files I often can't get Flash to output .swf files. Usually I get the message "Error creating Flash movie. There was not enough memory available." Sometimes though Flash looks as if it has finished publishing (although slightly too quickly to have really done it), and then there has not been a .swf file created.
Sometimes it's simply a matter of restarting Flash and trying again a few times until Flash decides to cooperate. But now I have a file that just seems like it will never output. My computer has 3 GB of RAM and 100 GB of virtual memory. The .fla file is 152 MG and the .swf would probably be about 20-25 MB.
If there is a workaround in CS3, that would be great. If not, I would upgrade to CS5, if I knew that it would not have the same problem.
I was told by at least two people at Adobe support that the problem has gone away with CS5, but I downloaded the CS5 trial version, and it will not output a .swf of my project. In this case it doesn't give the error message, but just fails silently.

Has this memory limitation been fixed in CS4 or CS5? I have to say, I'm geting really fed up with having to
spend hours coaxing Flash to output .swfs. Is there a reason that it can't use the
3MB of Ram available to it?

Why do I get there is not enough memory warning

I have a 2009 model Mac mini with only 2 GB of RAM, with a 160 GB hard drive, of which 116 GB remains unused. My MacBook Pro was being cranky, so I offloaded a bunch of files, via DVD and my external hard drive backup. Now when I try to open a document which was created in a newer version of Microsoft Word (I have Office 2004), I get the message "There is not enough memory or disk space to convert this document."
What can I do other than putting in new RAM, which is nigh on to impossible for me, as the closest Apple store is at least three hours from home. Should I upgrade Microsoft Office?
Thanks, MAM

VirtualRuffy:
Thank you for the most thoughtful, perceptive, intuitive and accurate/correct response vs all the pretenders giving out wrong and lazy-brain answers. Simple: ASK FOR ERROR DETAIL, which i did, and I got the "did not find what was expected" report - but did not realize what I could do about it. With your response as a guide I simply copied the entire Open Converter Supporter folder from my backup drive volume and used it to replace the folder in my active drive. Oh, the sweat virtues of having a backup copy of my original Leopard drive for emergency boot-up. BACKUP RULES !!
Thanks,
