I have been trying to export a comp that I have already exported in the past with no problems. Now when I try to export I keep on getting error messages and even my whole computer would crash.

I would get one of two error messages
1. Keylight out of memory (4)
2. Unable to allocate space for 1984 X 144 image buffer.

I tried increasing the ram distribution and enabled disk cache. This error still occurs. I got one good export today then it started to give me the error messages again then the whole Mac went gray and told me I had to manually shut off the computer.

I am using CS4 and just ran software updates over a week ago. The computer is Mac OSX 10.6.2

Any suggestions?
 
The going "gray" is called a kernel panic, which basically means the computer is locked up at the core of the OS, the "kernel". They happen, but if they happen frequently or repeatedly, then you have something wrong.

As for the 2 error messages, there are a myriad of fixes for those but I don't feel like typing them all up now. Just look on the Live Docs at Adobe's site, all the suggestions are there. In short, you probably need more RAM, change RAM usage, purge your caches, secret menu to purge every nth frame during the render, etc.
 
Thank you. I will look at Live Docs. The kernel panic is becoming fairly frequent. ug not good.
