Setup guide

■ Your system fails due to memory panic.
The MemoryApplication keyword uses the following syntax
MemoryApplication <megabytes>
where <megabytes> is the amount of memory dedicated to the corresponding
token, in megabytes.
Example of use
MemoryApplication 400
Working with 4K 12-bit Film
Even with the recommended amount of RAM, working with 4K 12-bit film
puts great demands on memory management. Set the RAM allocated for
buffering frames to between 2000 and 4000.
The ability to mix different resolutions in a 4K 12-bit film project increases
memory requirements even further. Even with an override of the default
memory management configuration, working at this resolution may not
support some advanced features that require a large amount of memory such
as the Colour Warper
™
.
Cannot Allocate Memory Buffer Messages
“Cannot allocate memory buffer” messages indicate a shortage of memory
allocated to frame buffering, so uncommenting the MemoryApplication
keyword and defining an amount of memory for frame buffers can resolve
this problem. The amount to set in this case depends on how much RAM your
system has: start with 400 MB for Finishing applications or 700 MB for Visual
Effects applications. Allocate more memory to frame buffers in increments of
50 MB as required.
Memory Panic
A memory panic indicates the system is running out of heap memory. Heap
memory is memory allocated for use by applications and the operating system.
