How much Page File Virtual Memory is needed for After Effects?

Hello,

 

I have 32GB Ram, and have assigned the page file memory to one of my SSDrives.   (Win10)

 

When using After Effects, coloring and upscale, will it eat up all the Ram and rely on the page file system for more?

 

What is a good setting for the page file memory?   Should it double the ram amount?  In my case, 64GB of page file memory allocated?

 

Page File section reads:

Mininmum Allowed           16 MB

Recommended                4984 MB

Currently allocated:      64000 MB

I have a feeling 65gb of virual memory is a waste?  I read to double your ram's size, but 64gb might be pushing it?

 

Thanks for your thoughts,

Letty

    AE almost never uses the page file mechanisms, not internal ones, not at the system level. If it runs out and the cache folders are full, none of that won't matter and save your bacon, so for all intents and purposes it is pretty much irrelevant.
