your system is out of memory

Hello!

Since this is coming frequently and starting to annoy I'm looking for help now: I have 10 Interviews à 1,5h. Every Interview has one project file where I'm working in step by step. After a while, after having been e. g. in 2-3 projects (always just one opened) I got the message that my system is out of program memory (Programmspeicher in German) and that I should close my programs. This is a bit confusing because I'm coming from a years old Windows Laptop (32GB) working now with the most expensive and actual Macbook Pro M4 Max, 48GB, 40GPU, 1TB laptop. 100GB free disc space internal and 1TB on my external project drive. With my Windows Laptop I've never had an issues with memory. Why this is plopping up and what can I do to canalise MacOS memory behavior focussed on Premiere. E. g. using the free memory on my external drive addionally to internal drive (when full).

Thanks!

    Hi @Kevin-Monahan 

    ok, I've followed your advise and imported all my old sequences into new projects. Unfortunately the issue persists.
    But I've collected some data: Premiere collects memory step by step. And when i close a project, the memory don't get cleared out. So in my case I have 10 Interviews, each 2-3h à two cams. And working with more and more projects/clipprocessing the container gets loaded. And the magic number seems to be around 90GB. When Premiere reached that number (after around 1-1,5h of working time) this message appears and blocks my working flow until I close Premiere. And the loading start anew. 

    Does that bring any new clue?

    Hi @Kevin-Monahan 
    Thanks for your quick reply!
    That sounds promising and plausible since I moved from PC to Mac with kind of a complex project. I'll check out soon and report.

    Cheers

      Hello @invisibleavatar,

      Thanks for the message. Out of memory usually indicates a corrupt project. Try creating a new project and import the sequences of the older project that has the out of memory problem into the new one. Let us know if that works.

       

      Thanks,
      Kevin
