Question

rotobrush out of memory when played, but ok if forward frame by frame

When using rotobrush if I click play, it works for a second or two and then display an orange bar saying I need to free up some memory, and then just loop back a second or two making no more progress.

 

Quitting all other adobe apps allows this to procecss a little more frames, but eventually the orange bar still appear.

 

Going forward frame by frame (PgDn) works fine. It never runs out of memory. I just get tired pressing PgDn. Why would "play" run out of memory? It's just repeating frame by frame automatically.

Make sure you have enough RAM allocated to Adobe applications. You adjust this in the preferences, generally CC is allocated a third of your system's total RAM.

How much RAM is installed on your computer?

What is the dimensions of the comp ? 
Purge all memory from:  Edit -> purge -> purge all memory and disk cache

Purging memory helps but eventually (after a few more seconds) I still get the low memory warning.

I allocated 20 G RAM to cc and closed all other adobe apps while running this.

I have 32G ram.

This still doesn't explain why frame-by-frame can run forever but playing runs out of memory.
