Unable to allocate memory error is back
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open an AE project that has linked PPro comps
2. Open the corresponding PPro project
3. Work in PPro on the PPro project
4. Notice that PPro is suddenly very unresponsive
5. Think "Ah I know this old chestnut!" and pop over to AE to be greeted with that very familiar "After Effects (Beta): Unable to allocate 1.000 MB of memory..." message. Think to myself "1.000 MB"?? I have 128GB in this machine!
6. Dismiss the error - sometimes there are literally dozens of them, and holding Esc dismisses them quickly.
7. Check in AE that the one open comp is nothing outrageous - it's a short (~4 secs) 24fps 2160x2160 MP4 with a subtle position & scale move on it, and Cache Frames When Idle is OFF.
8. Sigh, and resign myself to the fact that, like many other users (judging by the number times this has been reported), I'll have to live with this. I've not seen this error for months (years maybe), but it occurs many times a day over the past couple of AE beta releases. It's a shame that linked comps continue to cause issues (I'm assuming it's a linked comp thing - that's usually the Root of All Problems) despite them having been around for many years now. Especially seeing that linked comps is the ONLY advantage that the AE/PPro workflow has over the many other (cheaper/free) options around for editing/compositing.
9. Back in PPro, the section of my timeline with the linked comp just shows black. So I quit PPro to refresh things, and that causes AE to quit.
10. Reload PPro and AE, and get the "AE crashed" message upon reload.
11. Continue working, with the knowledge that things will crash again soon.
