1. Re: Premiere is using all my memory, what can I do?
Harm Millaard Feb 17, 2011 9:29 AM (in response to nexgenVP)Start by turning the stupid sidebar and widgets off PERMANENTLY. Uninstall that crap from your system.

JSS1138 Feb 17, 2011 10:11 AM (in response to nexgenVP)I found that when I updated to 5.0.3, some memory issues I was having went away. Are you using the latest version?

Colin Brougham Feb 17, 2011 10:11 AM (in response to nexgenVP)What sort of footage/media are you working with? There is an issue with some forms of MPEG compressed material, such as that from the newer Canon XF camcorders, where a memory leak causes the system memory to fill up and then cause problems with stability and responsiveness. If you're using something like this, that could be the cause.
12GB of RAM is sufficient, barring a memory leak, and even then, increasing the amount of available RAM is not going to solve the issue. The widget (while not a great idea to be using) is not a likely cause of these issues.

nexgenVP Feb 17, 2011 2:05 PM (in response to Colin Brougham)The footage is 1920x1080i 8bit uncompressed Blackmagic avi.
Why is the widget a bad idea? It is directly from the windows install, I did not download it or anything like that.

Harm Millaard Feb 17, 2011 2:48 PM (in response to nexgenVP)Sidebar and widgets are memory and resource hogs, that can bring the best system to its knees. After installing Windows, your first step of action is to uninstall all the crap Microsoft installs automatically. MSN, Print & Fax services, Games, Sidebar, etc. You can disable nearly everything that Windows automaticallly installs and enables from Control Panel. Maybe leave IE 8 on, but all the rest (apart from .NET framework) can normally be disabled.
What happens when you leave the BM out of the picture?
BTW. You know of course what a taxidermist is? Someone who stuffs his animals with all kinds of crap, so it looks nice. That is what you do, if you don't clean up after Windows installation.

Hyperbole much?
The reality here is that the Windows 7 Sidebar takes up very little resources and will have virtually no impact on a system powerful enough for modern HD editing.. Go ahead and use them if you like.
