  • 1.  PNG are all in frame memos on Carbonite Solo

    Posted 07-16-2018 20:50
    Having a brain lapse. I load some png sequences into my frame mems but they are not staying in memory. And reload every time I recall (each sequence is 300frames @1080i)
    I forget how to set the live assist to keep them loaded.
    Any quick notes? Can find it in Ross u or YouTube tutorials.

    Your running out of space that is why. At 1080i your going to get about 380 frames or so of Video and Alpha in Media Store 1/3 and then another 380 frames in 2/4. This is because each pair has it's own 4GB of Ram Cache. When you have one 300 frame animation loaded and you go to load another one it has to free up the space to allow it to be loaded.

    Thanks Les. Looking at the files I see a very long play out after the effect. I will trim the files.

    Thanks again Les. That did it. Effect was actually only 120 frames, Editor said he put a bit of 'pad' at the end.
    I'll be sure to look at files first from now on.

    It would be great to have the option to lock certain sequences in the cache. At least a pop-up before the files are deleted from the cache "Cache full. Free up space?" (Yes/No).
