If you have multiple running, they do whatever Adobe applications do to try to share So if I understand this, it may not really do what I need. Here's a typical render going right now, eating about 100GB of 128GB machine. https://photos.app.goo.gl/8J77BXrE1U9oio2m2 AE 2014 is configured 12 threads, 8 GB per thread. If I created 12 processes with Render Garden, the first will likely take a ton of memory, next will take what's left and then what happens? best, Stephen stephen van vuuren 336.202.4777  http://www.insaturnsrings.com/ http://www.sv2dcp.com/ http://www.sv2studios.com/  A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later. –Stanley Kubrick -----Original Message----- From: After Effects Mail List [mailto:AE-List@media-motion.tv] Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2017 3:32 PM To: After Effects Mail List <AE-List@media-motion.tv> Subject: Re: [AE] New AE script- Rendergarden On Nov 29, 2017, at 11:46 AM, Stephen van Vuuren wrote: > Which brings up memory management. Anyone of limiting RAM that is used per session? Otherwise my projects will eat it all 😊 Like the regular AE applications, aerender will share the Adobe pool of memory, set up in Preferences. If you have multiple running, they do whatever Adobe applications do to try to share it. There is the -mem_usage argument to aerender that you could experiment with, adding it to the aerender template. In our testing, -mem_usage had some effect on the memory used, but not much. Mainly, if aerender was holding onto frames in the image cache for no good reason, -mem_usage would persuade it to clear them. But if a render needs all that memory, nothing you do to -mem_usage will make it use less. Brendan +---End of message---+ To unsubscribe send any message to <ae-list-off@media-motion.tv> |
