So who has taken the plunge, especially MacBook Pro users? I primarily use FCPx and Adobe Suite plus MS Office on my MacBook Pro. I did have a lot of music apps but moved most of that except Logic and Garageband which I barely use to Windows 10 box for several reasons (very slow Catalina support, internal SSD space for samples etc.).

Best,

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.

Subject: Re: [AE] RAM load test

I imported a 40 GB MXF 4K file and dropped it into a new comp, and invoked RAM-Preview. It loaded up 2 min. and 45 sec. All three of my RAM gauges where showing different amounts of RAM being used, but the Ae Memory Preferences > Details shows that Ae is using 219 GB. That satisfies my curiosity. I had set Ae to reserve 12 GB for other apps.

Thanks for the tip about Memtest.

I’m trying to run out of RAM as fast as possible.

I got a new MacPro with 256GB of RAM, and I’m trying to load test my RAM. The reason is that if it’s going to fail, I want it to happen when I’m not facing a deadline.

I already returned my first 256GB kit to OWC because something failed on Day 2. BTW, great service from them. They overnighted a replacement kit.

What’s a best way to do this?

Something like an 8K comp with noise applied to a solid?

I’ve tried a few things, but so far unable to get past having 123 GB or so free. A few attemps, Ae just stopped RAM-previewing while I still had plenty of RAM to spare.

The GPU can be stressed by playing highly compressed H.264 codecs in Premiere. The CPU can be stressed by running Render Garden.

I found a freeware app called XRG that graphs CPU, GPU, RAM, and other functions. I also have iStat Menu installed.
