1. Re: AME memory HOG
Todd_Kopriva Jul 31, 2013 2:04 PM (in response to kenjoec)Your screenshot shows that AME is only using about 5GB of memory, and the OS has set more than 55GB to inactive memory. This isn't AME using your memory; this is the OS failing to returm memory to the free state.

kenjoec Jul 31, 2013 2:14 PM (in response to Todd_Kopriva)Thanks for your reply
I realize that.... but this ONLY happens when i run AME. Dose not happen with Compressor, Media Composer, Cinema 4D, Mocha... and on and on. I am seeing this happen on another Macpro that is the same as mine and on an iMac.
This does not happen when i encode with AME Cs6 . So i really think it is somethig in the comminication between AME CC and OSX.

Todd_Kopriva Jul 31, 2013 2:15 PM (in response to kenjoec)Please give details of exactly when this happens. As soon as you start AME? When you're encoding? Only when encoding to a specific format? Only when transcoding from a specific format?

4. Re: AME memory HOG
kenjoec Jul 31, 2013 2:26 PM (in response to Todd_Kopriva)when it has been encoding for more than 10 min... i can sit and watch the inactive memory fill up. I does it alot faster if i am encoding a lot of small files. When it gets to only having 30 - 40 megs available i can run a purge and AME speeds back up and the memory goes back to free. But as AME continues the inactive fills back up.
Format does not seem to matter

EricSanders_ Jul 31, 2013 2:34 PM (in response to kenjoec)Hi,
What is the source (PPro sequence, AE comp, QT Prores mov file), and what is the destination format and codec type? Knowing this first will be most helpful.
Thanks,

6. Re: AME memory HOG
kenjoec Aug 1, 2013 7:04 AM (in response to EricSanders_)Any and all. MXFs edited in PP, Prores files from Arri, DNxHD from avid... it really does not matter. I just transcoded some DNxHD file to H264 and did a screen recording. I am compressing it and will upload it to vimeo and then post the video here so you can watch what happens.
i don't render AE comps in AME... it is alot faster to let AE render them.

kenjoec Aug 1, 2013 11:09 AM (in response to EricSanders_)Here you can see that the Inactive fills up as it encodes... so there is some relation to AME in this.

9. Re: AME memory HOG
EricSanders_ Aug 1, 2013 6:40 PM (in response to kenjoec)Yes, this is helpful, thanks for taking the time - we'll take a look. When you exit the AME process does the memory free up?

10. Re: AME memory HOG
kenjoec Aug 1, 2013 6:43 PM (in response to EricSanders_)no. I have to either reboot or run Purge from the terminal.

Thank you for all your help up to this point. I've had some luck in reproing this issue. I'm working on getting it narrowed down but may come back to you for more information.

14. Re: AME memory HOG
thnord Aug 26, 2013 12:29 AM (in response to kenjoec)Unfortunately, no. The main issue here is that the OS isn't releasting inactive memory back in to the pool of free memory. We can't control that so a fix for that would need to come from Apple.
