Question

Okay I'm trying to render out a minute long comp. I have it set to render to a 1280x720 .mov using the Photo-Jpeg codec. However, everytime I try to render it'll get part way through then say "After Effects: Out Of Memory". I've tried purging the cache and stuff. I have 8gb of free space on my HDD and 2gb of ddr2 memory. I could really use some help here as this is probably my best work to date.

    This is a QuickTime issue. Just upgrade to the newest version of QuickTime.

    My solution was to render part of my timeline, then import it, then render the whole thing together. Part of my timeline had multiple layers of effects such as directional blur.

    2 GB of RAM is really, really the minimum.

    Do you have a multi-core machine? Do you have Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously turned on in preferences? If so, you'd have to disable it. 2 GB is not enough for multiprocessing, regardless of the number of cores.

      I know I need a new computer, however, I'm broke, I got no job (not for the lack of trying), I'm only 16. So for now I'll have to make do with what I got. I've been using AE on this computer for about a year and a half now, with little to no problems.

      I don't think you need a new computer. You may need a bit more RAM memory, that's all.

      Maybe there's something specific in your project that makes it use more memory than your typical project, that's all.
