  Hi Adobe,
I haven't contacted you in a long time....first let me praise you, you can see that you are working hard and every iteration of Pp is better and better....until this v25.4...the problem is that the new version 25.4 'eats' memory....
T he system is Win 11 pro, freshly installed with all updates (24H2 - Os build 26100.4946),
graphics driver (580.97-desktop-win10-win11-64bit-international-nsd-dch-whql)...
deleted (Media Cache Database, Media Cache Files, deleted rendered files from Adobe Premiere Pro Video Previews) from previous renders
  Kreativ cloud installed.....mostly, when I render a video on the timeline the memory goes up and up until it reaches 64GB, as much as I have and everything stops, even the OS...must restart the system(hard,everything is frozen)...so I was forced to restore v.25.3 and the same I rendered the project,delet (Media Cache Database, Media Cache Files, deleted rendered files from Adobe Premiere Pro Video Previews) and...
memory does not exceed 32GB or 48% of memory usage....

 

my configuration;

RTX 3090TI 24GB
Ryzen 9 3950X
64GB memory
1NVMe M.2 for Os
1NVMe M.2 for video
1NVMe M.2 for cache....ect

 

thank you very much and all the best

    That's the real problem with the subscription model.  They think they have to keep releasing to justify it, but that means that nothing is ever finished and nothing ever really works. I wish they'd just understand we want stability, we don't want to pay to be beta testers.

      Your update cycle is too fast. Adobe should release every 2-3 years and spend the time in between releasing patches for the thousands of bugs it's accumulated

      Hello,

      this is the xml exported from the Premiere Pro project wich crush with a message:
      “Force Quit Applications
      Your system has run out of application memory.
      To avoid problems with your computer, quit any applications you are not using.”

      I tried:
      - Change the export configurations.
      - Change between hadware/software rendering.
      - Reduce effects.
      - Use another version or beta version.
      - Export by Media Encoder (last version and beta version)

      Thanks

      Hi @Jimmy Hep @mandicreally - What version of After Effects do you have installed?  Are you using mogrts or captions in your sequence?  Are there any other effects you are using?  What are your computer specs?

       

      Can you send a project to jamiec@adobe.com (no media)

      I'm also still getting memory issues on 25.5.

      Crashes my whole computer requiring a restart when I'm rendering, exporting, importing, or generating peak files.
