Hello.
I am using Adobe After Effects CS6 on my Macbook Pro Retina 15", using Mac OSX Mavericks. My Macbook Pro has 16 GB RAM.
I am having some serious trouble with rather simple tasks, when it comes to the memory allocation.
I have a project file containing quite a bunch of highres TIFF-files. I add these to a composition and wand to sequence them - and After Effects cannot manage this, neither by the built in sequencing function, nor using a JavaScript for sequencing a specified number of frames.
And here's the... well... "interesting" part...
Adobe After Effects tells me that it cannot allocate 0,002 MB of memory (and the yadayada about that I can decrease the memory requirements or installing more RAM...) - see the enclosed image to see the actual message. Well, I still got a MacBook Pro with 16 GB RAM. I have tried to change the memory settings, cache settings etc etc etc... I have also tried resetting all the memory/cache settings etc. But nothing works (the alternative is probably for me to manually enter each and every single layer and sequence them on my own... did I mention that its about 5 000 images?).
According to my memory information, there are quite a big amount of memory being used, absolutely - but it still say that I have at least 2 GB memory free when I started the activity of sequencing these layers.
See the image below. Someone, please help... I dont want to spend a couple of days sorting 5 000 layers!
Thanks in advance!
