thanks for the solution. that's exactly what i'm doing right now since the low memory msg problem has started. because can't afford the work being held up for these many days. but, here again the time taken to to export the so-aligned clips to a movie becomes fairly high(let's say for a 2.30 hours of footage it comes to 2.30 hrs of capture + 20-30 mins of aligning the clips + 2 hrs exporting the aligned clips to a single avi. so that comes to a total of something around 5 hrs. just the double time. also, that exporting the captured video to avi would cause compression and thus the quality would deteriorate. i don't, very exactly know by how much but, its something in the ratio of 4:1. can u explain how this(compression) works and how does it affect the footage quality(is it in terms of sharpness of the footage or ... how) ?
hope this wouldn't be bugging u'll. regards, malli ________________________________ From: Lee Menningen <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, 9 June, 2011 3:13:57 AM Subject: RE: [AP] low system memory Malli All information you’ve provided point to insufficient memory – PPro CS3&4 didn’t handle out-of-memory situations gracefully. Task Manager should be able to prove it. So let’s assume that to be the case. If you’re using Premiere Pro, are you sure you need “continuously captured video”, in light of the fact that Premiere is a frame-accurate editing tool? Suppose you captured a 20/30-minute segment into a file, then stop it and start a new capture that begins slightly before where clip 1 left off, making a second file. Can you do that? Repeat until the entire tape is captured in chunks. When done capturing, place clip 1 on a timeline track 1, and put clip 2 on track 2 with its beginning overlapping the end of clip 1. Clip 3 can go on track 1, overlapping the tail end of clip 2 similarly, followed by clip 4, etc. To adjust the clips you slide a clip forward or backward until the frames are aligned perfectly. If these clips have audio with them, using the audio can make it easier to align two overlapping tracks. When all clips are aligned perfectly they can be cut and shifted to the same track. Better yet, they can be left on separate tracks and then the entire timeline can be placed onto a new timeline where it will occupy just one track (this method allows easier corrections). The final result is exactly the same as if you captured multiple hours as one long file.

In Task Manager, on the Processes tab, watch the column Commit Size for Adobe Premiere Pro (and with CS4 there is an associated server task whose name I forgot that must also be considered.) and watch how much memory is used. I forgot the specific numbers for a 32-bit system but you can watch the memory usage creeping upward. That’s an indication it is acquiring more memory. When you get the message, the system is still working, right? I wish someone who knows capture would chime in, but since the message says “Save your work”, I wonder whether you could do a save; perhaps the full buffers might then be written to disk thus making them available for more capturing. Is that possible – that is, when the message pops up perform a save, then resume capturing? Just a question.

What changed between when you could capture and now? Running low on memory was/is a common problem for CS3 and more so for CS4, especially during rendering. I hadn’t previously heard that capturing was a problem (but I have never had to capture so I never personally ran that capability). I believe your warning message means the actual available physical memory, not disk space. It is starved for more memory. You can verify this by examining memory usage with Task Manager. By way of explanation, on a 32-bit system the application might be getting less than 1G from the OS (you have 4G installed but there is actually only about 3.4 usable total, the OS kernel and drivers use some of that, and then the OS allocates the remaining between all applications such as CS3 but none will be allowed to have all the remaining, only a part of it). Note that capturing might not be able to use virtual memory for performance reasons, it may require sufficient physical memory buffers. There are a few things you can do, but not much. Adobe’s advice for 32-bit users was to examine the Windows startup processes and to eliminate as many of them as possible. No anti-virus, no unnecessary drivers, no background monitoring processes, mail, etc. And when you do run Premiere, make sure no other application is running. Doing this frees up as much memory as possible. Unfortunately the actual quantity freed may still be inadequate, but if your system is border line, it may help. As an aside, I often received those low-memory warnings during rendering or encoding when I had CS3 and CS4, and the system would sometimes crash or hang-up. Eventually I learned that Adobe knew of the situation but that they were going to focus on 64-bit because they felt a 32-bit system couldn’t give enough memory to the Adobe application. I believe the current Premiere Pro is 64-bit only, probably for that reason.
