Your System Has Run Out of Application Memory

Report · May 24, 2022

Using the latest version of After Effects on a M1 Max with 64 GB of RAM (22.4.0).

I am constantly running up against the error "Your System Has Run Out of Application Memory" - it happens when I run RAM previews or run any kind of analysis like 3D camera tracker or warp stabilizer. It is repeatable.

The bug consistently pops up at around 170 GB.

This is a new problem that I suspect has to do with Apple Silicone. Seems to be a memory leak.

It happens with all Adobe Apps - After Effects, Photoshop, Premiere.

A lot of folks are experiencing this.

Adobe solution is probably "try the beta" but how many versions of CC am I running already? 3!? Guys get with it.

Here are some other threads discussing it:

Reminder that Adobe's official documentation says that it runs these programs natively on M1:

But, if it doesn't work, how is it supported?

Hi @defaultqrw2n5q33vyi,

We addressed a number of memory issues in After Effects 22.5, which just shipped. I suggest giving that a try. Also check how much memory you have allocated to After Effects in the preferences. Preferences > Memory & Performance.

Please let us know if you're still having trouble.

Thanks,

Jason

22.5 is definitely better but so many things still crash the system.
