Hello,

I am having an issue where Fusion will cause my Mac to pause Fusion and give a pop-up window saying that the system has run out of application memory. Fusion is paused, and I cannot resume it, due to the lack of memory. The memory monitors confirm that the system is out.

I've tried limiting Fusion's memory use in its Preferences, however I cannot find where I would have enough system memory left without crashing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Fusion 9.0.1
macOS Sierra 10.12.6
MacBook Pro Retina 15" AMD R9 M370X GPU, 16GB RAM

I too have the same problem.

On Fusion 9.0.1 and Mac OSX 10.13.2. --- 32GB of Memory

I have 5 off 2.5K videos of screens being composited onto a background.

It takes a couple of hours, but the MacOSX goes to the beach ball of death in the end. The only route out is the power button.

The composition is 820 frames long. I swapped to the open GL rendered and it failed at 815 frames.

I solve the problem by shortening the comp, however I'll run into this issue again shortly.

Regards


Andy

For me it seems to be related to quicktime movies. Working on procedural stuff or image sequences seems a bit more reliable.

I tend to use image sequences for VFX anyway if it's anything complex.
Things can always go wrong or you didn't catch a small mistake over a few frames, so it becomes much faster to re-render just a part of it.
