Invalid image buffer size question.

I finished a project but once I start to render, an error always pop up at the exact frame stating:

"After Effects error: Invalid image buffer size (40003x40002)"

(37 :: 102)

I have tried purging every 5 frames, yet it still doesn't work.

I am using a mac with 2 gigabyte ram.

Hopefully someone can help me with this, really need to render because I need to submit it soon.

Thanks.

    Correct answer mr_epic_peter

    it sometimes happens to me when the camera is too close to an object like text (think it has to do with resolution changing)

    if you move the camera to go a bit further away from an object it should fix the problem

    40,000 pixels by 40,000 pixels is a giant frame, even for a computer with a lot of RAM---and your computer has a tiny amount of RAM for using Ater Effects.

    What are you doing that is generating such large image information? Describe your composition. What are your composition settings? What effects are you using at the problematic point? What kinds of source footage?

    Also, you really need to provide more general information when asking questions. What operating system? What version of After Effects?

      Thank you for replying, I was getting worried that no one would answer anyway, what I'm trying to do right now is optical flare text and then fade it out through stretching it. However since I dont have the optical flare effect on my computer, my friend rendered a large and small mov for me to use.

      Operating system: Mac

      Composition setting - 1280px width, 720px height

      Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square Pixels

      Frame Rate: 25

      Resolution: Full

      Duration: 55 sec

      I am also using some footages in the background that are all in mp4 format. Each of them are no longer then 1 minute.

      *I am also using After Effect CS5*

        How big (in terms of pixel dimensions) are the footage items that you're using? What effects?
