Massive Renderproblem with AE 2017.2 on Win10x64

Hello Folks,

I have an HD Comp with 8-10 6k JPGs/PSDs, part of which are animated in precomps. These Images are 3D Layers and the camera is moving around showing different parts of the pictures. Every time I try to render to h264 or any other codec, AE fills up all the Ram (64 gb) and then my screen goes black. The computer is not rebooting or anything it just freezes and is unresponsive with a black monitor. My whole footage bin is around 10 gig so how can it even fill up the ram so much? It is doing that also while working on the comp but it doesnt freeze while working only when rendering.

I have another machine with 32 gigs of ram, which can handle the project just fine. Whats the problem with the stronger machine? What can I do?

Here are my system specs:

Win10x64

64Gb Ram(all checked, no errors)

Asus x99 MB

i7 6900k

Asus GTX 1080 with newest Drivers

Thank you!

    its rendering now, thanks, but isnt 32 gig a little tiny für 16 or more threads?

    Hello,

    To clear the old cache is another option to make After Effects stable.

    Hi Flowsnone

    I think this is a problem related with the amount of RAM assigned to AE. Try to reduce the amount of RAM in After Effects Preferences. Go to After Effects > Preferences > Memory if you are using Mac or Edit > Preferences > Memory if you are using Windows. Assign more RAM to other applications to reduce the amount assigned to After Effects. Also, you can check the Reduce cache size when system is low on memory.

      Unfortunately this doesnt help. It did in the first place but I'm doing another project and its still using way too much ram.

      61 out of 64 gigs although I told it in the settings to leave 12 gig for other applications.
