What settings do y'all use for Memory Usage?

Application default is 100% and Still Cache is 10%.
I have seen diffeent theories on this and put my Apllication down to 80%. Now it seems I am getting an Out Of Memory message when doing haevy duty renders.
Ideas?
Thanks folks!

Buy more memory, Mark. It's cheap.
FCP can use a total of 4GB, but it assigns about 1.5GB for related processes it figures it needs, so the core application can then use up to 2.5GB. When you have 4GB or less, that means if you allow FCP to use 100%, the OS will have little or nothing left and will use Virtual Memory when the need arises, This in turn will impact FCP and cause Page Outs. That means your timeline will be playing from the hard drive.
So, if you have 4GB or less, set the FCP memory allowance to less than 100%. In your case, you apparantly don't have enough memory for your project's needs.
So, buy more RAM. It's cheap.

  • What fields do you all use for tagging your music?

    As question please. I'm tagging all my music and wondering what everyone choses? I do artist, song name, album name, album artist (for compalations eg Now Music 71), year, genre. This seems enough for sorting on my Mac and my iPods. Anyone any others or any hints please?

    I always fill in the *Album Artist* and *Track Number* (which I assume you forgot to list in your initial post).
    Comments tend to get used to store information I don't want cluttering up the track or album titles as well as general comments.
    I sometimes use the various Sort... fields to adjust the order in which things get listed - more on that here.
    I generally use the Grouping field for Smart Playlists, e.g. iTSW for *iTunes Single Of The Week* and to help manage multiple iPods:
    "Alice's Tracks" is "Grouping contains Alice" + "Kind contains audio"
    "Bob's Videos" is "Grouping contains Bob" + "Kind does not contain audio"
    Tracks that both Alice & Bob want on their iPods have the grouping set to "Alice/Bob"
    etc.
    I currently manage our family's five iPods using this system, each getting a different selection to suit their tastes and the capacity of their iPod. An advantage of using the grouping field is that it is stored in file tags (for non-wav audio files anyway) so that it is relatively easy to recreate the playlists should the iTunes library get trashed. Also useful if you move files about manually as playlist membership is preserved when you delete & re-import the tracks.

  • What settings should I be using for importing?

    I currently have 3 sources of music - my own CDs, iTunes, and eMusic.
    I've left the settings in iTunes 7 at the default "AAC" but I just noticed there is an mp3 option in there. Which is better? What about Apple Lossless and the other options?
    Interestingly, even though AAC seems to be set at 128, I've noticed that only my iTunes purchases and my personal CDs stick to this rate; the mp3s that I bring in from eMusic seem to import automatically at a VBR anywhere from 160 to 200.
    Any help and advice is appreciated. I've already imported my entire personal CD collection, but I'd like to do the highest quality option for the future.

  • What photo gallery can I use for a Mac OS X version 10.6.8 with 1GB memory?

    what photo gallery can I use for a Mac OS X version 10.6.8 with 1GB memory?

    What do you mean by photo gallery?  Are you referring to what version of the iPhoto application?  What version came with your iMac? 
    iPhoto 8.1.2 would be a good choice for that system and limited amount of memory.  It comes on the iLife 09 disc which is available from 3rd party vendors like Amazon.com or eBay.com.
    If you can add memory to your iMac do so.  Increasing memory to 4 GB will do wonders for the speed of the system and applications.

  • What's ExpressCar/34 slot used for

    Hi all, I'm a Mac green hand. What's ExpressCar/34 slot used for?
    Since SD card is impossible to be inserted into it, and I've got to buy a reader, what's this slot for?
    Thanks~

    Lots of uses, besides just wireless broadband. You can get a media card reader (I have an 11-in-1 ExpressCard from SIIG). SSD memory. Additional ports (USB, FW, eSATA).

  • Having issues with PC gaming and my Linksys AC1900 router! (What settings should I be using?)

    Well I recently purchased a linksys AC1900 for a better/faster connection with my internet. Sadly, I have been having issues with online gaming. I am attempting to play a blizzard game (Diablo 3) but its not letting my connect. I did a direct wired connection and it worked just perfect. However, I dont want to play in my garage...lol. Does anyone have any ideas what settings I should be using? It lets me connect to battlenet but when my character loads into the world I get disconnected. I tried opening ports, shutting off uPnP, and various other things. Is the the router or is it me? Someone please help!

    I got confused with your response. If you are still having the same challenge, make sure you have enough speed to play any online game. You may also try to reboot your PC and the router. If the result is the same, check if the firmware is up to date. You may try to manually update it on the Linksys Smart WiFi page. Here's how. Once accomplished, reset, reboot, and reconfigure the router. I hope this helps!

  • What timeline format shall i use for footage in AVCHD format?

    I am shooting with the Sony HXR NX5, and i would like to ask what timeline format shall i use for footage in AVCHD format? I do not see any format in the Final Cut Pro and in Motion that matches my camera format.
    Thank you very much for your assistance.
    Best regards,
    Richard

    IF you are working with FCP 7.0.3 (the last version) then you use Log and Transfer to ingest your footage from that camera, and Log and Transfer will convert the AVCHD camera files to ProRes.
    Once the camera files are ingested, make a new (empty) timeline, and either drag a source clip or edit it to that timeline and you will be prompted to match the sequence settings to the source clip. Say yes and you should be good to go.
    AVCHD, H.264,etc. files are not directly usable in FCP without conversion.

  • What kind of glass is used for the iPhone 6?

    I want to get a case before we upgrade to the iPhone 6.  Some of the cases we are looking at (Speck Mightyshell) do not come with screen protectors.  I was wondering what kind of glass is used for the iPhone 6 and if a screen protector is even necessary?

    The iPhone 6 currently uses Corning’s Gorilla Glass. There was some speculation that they would start using Sapphire glass but I guess they’re not ready yet. I have had my iPad 2 for years now and the glass is still perfectly fine. My new iPhone 6 uses a more developed version of the same glass. Will the glass break? Yes. Will the glass scratch? Yes, if you carry your phone in the same pocket as your car keys, the screen will scratch. It’s not impervious, just highly resistant.
    I do have a real life controlled experiment going on in the family. My wife and one son have their iPhone 6s in a case WITH a screen protector. Myself and my other son carry our iPhone 6s around without ANY protection whatsoever, no case and no screen protector. So far they all still look perfectly fine. We’ll se how this experiment turns out.

  • What are the naming conventions used for aggregates created from Query?

    What are the naming conventions used for aggregates created from Query?

    Hi Reddy,
    As you know aggregates are baby cubes right.
    Aggregate names by default system has given as 6 digit number like 100831 but write the description by yourself.
    Here you have to remember fact table is created with the name
    like for ex: /BIC/F100831.
    while creating aggregates you can observe all options carefully till complete the creation process then after I am sure about
    your can get idea .
    If problem still persists with you let me know the same until
    get out of that.
    else assign points if this is sufficient.
    Thanks,

  • IPod HiFi - What dock connector do I use for a 80GB (5th Generation) ipod??

    Hi,
    Just got a new shinny ipod HiFi, however what dock connector can I use for an 80GB (5thG) as the connectors only go up to 60GB??? Or does the ipod come with a dock connector? Can anyone point me in the right direction, pretty please.
    Any suggestions would be great help.
    Cheers
    Sian

    You mean the dock adapter, right? The little plastic piece with a slot?
    Use the one for the 60GB.
    The only thing they do is make the iPods it correctly in the dock.
    The dock connector is the slot on the bottom of the iPod.

  • Whats a good mac to use for a home flight simulator with flight controls and foot pedals?

    whats a good mac to use for a home flight simulator with flight controls and foot pedals?
    My old 6100 AV worked great on A10 ATTACK, back in 1993.
    whats a good set up now a days?
    I havent seen any MAC set ups as a lot of the after market accessories are on  Windows platform.
    Is there a way or should I get a dedicated simulator on PC?

    The fact that USB flight input devices appear to Windows only is not a limitation; for Mac most are programmed through the sim itself. I know X-Plane does that.
    I've simmed a lot and know that good sims need a lot of processor and video hardware horsepower, and you'll also need a lot of RAM. They also run up the internal temps. A Mac Pro has better cooling than an iMac. You can get a program like SMCFanControl to manually set up the fans speeds before starting the sim.
    I know of no sims today that will still run on a PowerPC Mac (2005 and earlier) so you need to look to an Intel Mac with top specs. If looking at iMacs, start by looking for the quad-core i7 processor. Those models usually came with an up-rated video card. Thing 12 to 16GB RAM.
    My 2010 iMac has the 2.93gHz i7 processor, video hardware (ATI 5750) with 1TB VRAM, and 12 GB of RAM. It runs the x-Plane 10 demo fine but I've not bought the full version because v10 seems to make foot pedals darned near mandatory, and I don't want $100 worth of pedals under my regular work desk at the moment.
