Hi all,
I need your help. I'm in the middle of working on an animatic for an upcoming project in Flash CS5 Professional (64-bit). I'm synching up the drawings to audio, sounds simple enough right? I get about 1/4 of the way into the project and Flash presents me with the error message, "Out of memory."
The file was sent to me by one of my coworkers (working in CS4) and each frame had been drawn using object drawing mode, I broke apart each image and it still doesn't help. I'm working on a piece that is a 10th of a second under 3 mins long and is 16.9mb in size. All I'm doing is shifting the still images to sync up with an audio track.
This is about the 3rd time I've experienced this issue while creating an animatic. I was able to get through the issue the past few times by going into C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS5\Common\First Run\ActionScript 3.0 and the jvm text file found there. I upped the alotted RAM from 256 to 500mb and that worked. Then it happened on another project and I upped it again to 1024mb. I would increase the amount again, but I read somewhere that if you go to high (even though you have plenty of available RAM) you could wreck the program even further. I had this problem with Photoshop years ago but was able to go into the programs properites and set the available memory to unlimited, I haven't been able to find something like that for Flash. I've worked on longer more complex programs in Flash without a hitch. I'm stumped!
I need to find some sort of permanent solution and fast!! Thanks in advance!
