When you run After Effects, you could receive messages like, 'Unable to allocate 0.000 MB of memory' or, 'Unable to allocate 0.002 MB of memory.'

It can be a project-specific issue or a system configuration issue.

I highly recommend that you check out After Effects Help / Memory and Storage (CS5.5 and earlier) for more information on memory in After Effects. Global Performance Cache. The Global Performance Cache was introduced in CS6 to use all the resources of your workstation to work as fast as possible. Roofied Symptoms and After Effects Roofies also known as the date rape drug, is a dangerous substance that can leave you in a very bad position. There are symptoms and signs that you can look for to know if you have been “roofied.”. I went into Nvidia Control Panel (bc I have a Nvidia GPU) and set the PhysX settings for After Effects to all the default settings, or to let the application choose. I monitored my usage of RAM and made sure the maximum amount allocated to AE was enough to ensure my computer would not run into conflict of memory use between programs. If you are trying to view/ram preview the entire 6 minutes then yes you are going to run out of memory long before you get even close to the end, even at 1/4 screen resolution. You need more memory and /or look at only small sections of the video at a time.

You could try to use the steps listed below to resolve the issue.

  1. Try to reduce the amount of memory allocated to other applications:

    1. Select After Effects CC > Preferences > Memory.
    2. Change the RAM reserved for other applications and click OK.

  2. Purge Memory and Disk Cache:

    1. Select Edit > Purge > All Memory & Disk Cache.
    2. To delete all the files from your disk cache, click OK.

    Another way to clean Media and Disk cache is:

    1. Select After Effects CC > Preferences > Media & Disk Cache.
    2. In the Preferences dialog, click Empty Disk Cache to clean disk cache and Clean Database and Cache to clean media cache.

  3. If Mercury Transmit is enabled, disable it in Preferences > Video Preview.


  4. Switch Ray Tracing to CPU:

    1. If you have used Ray Traced 3D Renderer, select Preferences > Previews.
    2. In the Preferences dialog, click GPU Information and switch Ray Tracing to CPU.

  5. Remove any third-party plugins.

  6. Create a pre-comp of the existing composition. To create a pre-comp, select all the tracks in the timeline and right click. From the drop-down menu, select Pre-compose.

  7. Reset preferences for After Effects. Make sure that After Effects are closed in your machine (while following the steps).

    MacOS

    1. Go to your desktop and click GO on the Menu bar.
    2. Select Go to Folder from the drop-down and type the following path: /library/preferences/adobe
    3. From the list of applications, select After Effects and rename it as ’After Effects1’.
    4. Go to Documents folder in your computer and open the folder named Adobe.
    5. In the Adobe folder, rename the After Effects folder as ’After Effects1’.

    Windows

    1. In the Run command (Win key+R) dialog, type %appdata%.
    2. Open the folder named Adobe.
    3. Rename the After Effects folder as 'After Effects1'.
    4. Close the window and open Documents folder.
    5. In the Adobe folder After Effects folder and rename it to 'After Effects1'.

  8. Check the composition creating issue:

    1. Create a blank project.
    2. Turn on Caps Lock and try to import the faulty project.
    3. Open compositions one by one and toggle Caps Lock to check which composition is creating issue.

  9. Ensure that the Illustrator files are offline or try to convert the Illustrator files to Shape layers.

  10. If you have used multiple display cards, disable one of them.

  11. If you have applied any expressions, convert them to keyframes.

Some stressful experiences — such as chronic childhood abuse — are so overwhelming and traumatic, the memories hide like a shadow in the brain.

At first, hidden memories that can’t be consciously accessed may protect the individual from the emotional pain of recalling the event. But eventually those suppressed memories can cause debilitating psychological problems, such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder or dissociative disorders.

A process known as state-dependent learning is believed to contribute to the formation of memories that are inaccessible to normal consciousness. Thus, memories formed in a particular mood, arousal or drug-induced state can best be retrieved when the brain is back in that state.

In a new study with mice, Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered for the first time the mechanism by which state-dependent learning renders stressful fear-related memories consciously inaccessible.

“The findings show there are multiple pathways to storage of fear-inducing memories, and we identified an important one for fear-related memories,” said principal investigator Dr. Jelena Radulovic, the Dunbar Professor in Bipolar Disease at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. “This could eventually lead to new treatments for patients with psychiatric disorders for whom conscious access to their traumatic memories is needed if they are to recover.”

It’s difficult for therapists to help these patients, Radulovic said, because the patients themselves can’t remember their traumatic experiences that are the root cause of their symptoms.

The best way to access the memories in this system is to return the brain to the same state of consciousness as when the memory was encoded, the study showed.

Changing the brain’s radio frequencies

Two amino acids, glutamate and GABA, are the yin and yang of the brain, directing its emotional tides and controlling whether nerve cells are excited or inhibited (calm). Under normal conditions the system is balanced. But when we are hyper-aroused and vigilant, glutamate surges. Glutamate is also the primary chemical that helps store memories in our neuronal networks in a way that they are easy to remember.

GABA, on the other hand, calms us and helps us sleep, blocking the action of the excitable glutamate. The most commonly used tranquilizing drug, benzodiazepine, activates GABA receptors in our brains.

There are two kinds of GABA receptors. One kind, synaptic GABA receptors, works in tandem with glutamate receptors to balance the excitation of the brain in response to external events such as stress.

The other population, extra-synaptic GABA receptors, are independent agents. They ignore the peppy glutamate. Instead, their job is internally focused, adjusting brain waves and mental states according to the levels of internal chemicals, such as GABA, sex hormones and micro RNAs. Extra-synaptic GABA receptors change the brain’s state to make us aroused, sleepy, alert, sedated, inebriated or even psychotic. However, Northwestern scientists discovered another critical role; these receptors also help encode memories of a fear-inducing event and then store them away, hidden from consciousness.

“The brain functions in different states, much like a radio operates at AM and FM frequency bands,” Radulovic said. “It’s as if the brain is normally tuned to FM stations to access memories, but needs to be tuned to AM stations to access subconscious memories. If a traumatic event occurs when these extra-synaptic GABA receptors are activated, the memory of this event cannot be accessed unless these receptors are activated once again, essentially tuning the brain into the AM stations.”

Retrieving stressful memories

In the experiment, scientists infused the hippocampus of mice with gaboxadol, a drug that stimulates extra-synaptic GABA receptors. “It’s like we got them a little inebriated, just enough to change their brain state,” Radulovic said.

Then the mice were put in a box and given a brief, mild electric shock. When the mice were returned to the same box the next day, they moved about freely and weren’t afraid, indicating they didn’t recall the earlier shock in the space. However, when scientists put the mice back on the drug and returned them to the box, they froze, fearfully anticipating another shock.

“This establishes when the mice were returned to the same brain state created by the drug, they remembered the stressful experience of the shock,” Radulovic said.

The experiment showed when the extra-synaptic GABA receptors were activated with the drug, they changed the way the stressful event was encoded. In the drug-induced state, the brain used completely different molecular pathways and neuronal circuits to store the memory.

“It’s an entirely different system even at the genetic and molecular level than the one that encodes normal memories,” said lead study author Vladimir Jovasevic, who worked on the study when he was a postdoctoral fellow in Radulovic’s lab.

This different system is regulated by a small microRNA, miR-33, and may be the brain’s protective mechanism when an experience is overwhelmingly stressful.

The findings imply that in response to traumatic stress, some individuals, instead of activating the glutamate system to store memories, activate the extra-synaptic GABA system and form inaccessible traumatic memories.

Traumatic memories hidden away

Memories are usually stored in distributed brain networks including the cortex, and can thus be readily accessed to consciously remember an event. But when the mice were in a different brain state induced by gaboxadol, the stressful event primarily activated subcortical memory regions of the brain. The drug rerouted the processing of stress-related memories within the brain circuits so that they couldn’t be consciously accessed.
