Hi,
I got this message today, when working in both CH and AE.
Windows dialog box saying "close programs to prevent information loss.
Your computer is low on memory. Save your files and close these programs:
Character Animator CC Beta."
I waited a couple of minutes and the RAM usage went down to 8 (of 16), and then pressen cancel on the dialog box.
Unfortunately, minutes later I got a crash in AE.
Could it be an issue with memory leak?

Hmm not sure.

Yeah, that sounds like a lot going on! Basically it sounds like you have some intensive stuff happening in both CH & AE - I'd recommend only having one open at a time. I know having them both open makes dynamic link easier, but for something as big as this you might have better luck doing one at a time. Regardless, if this persists let us know!

I get this every....single....time I use Lightroom.
Even with every other program including background programs stopped, still happens.
Alienware 15 laptop. 16GB RAM, I7 proc.
I have it set to use my NVIDIA graphics card (8GB video card).
I am at a loss. I see so many people online with this problem as well.

These are the Character Animator forums so I can't speak to how Lightroom does it, but in general we've only seen this in our product if people are doing very complex stuff - trying to constantly calculate all the physics, head tracking, lipsync etc in realtime can be extremely processor-intensive. For us we recommend running one program at a time (which you seem to say you've already done) and turning off or limiting behaviors like dangle if you don't need them.

You can also see in Resource Monitor (clickable from that link at the bottom of the Performance tab of Task Manager), in the Overview > Memory section or Memory tab, sorted by Commit, Working Set, or Private, if there's some other processes in the background that are contributing to the low memory situation on your machine.
