'Out of memory' error message when rendering

Issue

When you tried to render, you received the following error message:

Out of memory

Solution

This error message indicates that Stitcher does not have enough memory to render.

To resolve this error, first verify that the resolution (in pixels) you have chosen is not too high and that you have defined a render area.

It is possible that all of the available RAM is being used for the input images and stitching. In order to render, you will have to free up some RAM.

To free up more RAM for rendering

1. Save your project.
2. Exit Stitcher.
3. Restart Stitcher.
4. Click Edit menu > Preferences > Memory, and decrease the Cache Size.

The Cache Size setting defines the size in RAM that the input images occupy. By decreasing this value, you make more RAM available to the renderer.

After performing this procedure, try to render again. If the rendering still does not work, decrease the Cache Size to 0% and then render again.

Note: If you are rendering to a TIFF file, select the Use Strip check box on the Image Options tab of the Render dialog box.
