run a test:
1.use a composition with a heavy calculation like fractal noise+Grain for a few seconds untill it's all green
2.click edit -> empty- all memory.
is it blue?

4. Re: No Preview Render (blue bar)
Thanks. I've tried my current project (fx heavy) and your project.
After purging all memory… not blue. No 'render line' at all.

after purging it is supposed to go for green to blue or green to nothing if disk cache was not prompted. seems your disk cache is not activating.
lets try this:
1. reset your preferences
2. go to preferences -> media & disk cache and clear cache from both options. also select enable disk cache if it's not
3. try again.

That's because it's empty. I should have said this before, why don't you raise that 1GB? it's too low. give it a good amount. let's say 30GB at least. (leave of course enough for your system)

8. Re: No Preview Render (blue bar)
Ah, now, there's a very good reason for that.
I don't have 30GB available!
Currently running at 8.5GB free
Would this be the reason?

Abso-freakin-lutely
get an SSD just for cache and you will be fine or renounce the disk cache thing. you can live without it.

Aha!
MPB 15" with 1TB Hybrid drive. I'll look into an SSD. Reluctant to ditch the optical drive to claim a bay though.
I'm working on clearing drive space but as fast I do so this project consumes more! Typical.
As you say, I'll have to live without it.
Thanks a lot for your insight. I was frustratedly going mad.
