I need some Help! I have a lot of photoshop picture files that I need to export as a movie file. But every time I try to export the sequence an Error Message saying that I'm 'Out of Memory' comes up....

... What can I do to fix it????
 
Hey,

What are your computer specs? What version are you running? See if you have the proper Quick Time installed. I think Adobe supports. 7.0 (not sure check Adobe Premiere Pro Website).

Sometimes a simple export setting can have buggy results and cause such a message. Try changing things like format, resolution, PAR etc. and see if you get diff results. It could also very likely be from trying to export to a codec that doesn't support a specific frame rate or resolution. Like tryin to export 15fps to a dv codec. Also make sure that your hard disk is not full

Rumble,
I'm just guessing here but you may have made the common mistake of scanning photos at high dpi (like 300) thinking it will insure high-res jpegs. This results in very fat jpg files that Premiere cannot handle. If you have done this, re-scan at lower dpi to at least half. But make sure the aspect ratio is large enough to allow rostrum moves (or forgive me, "Ken Burns effect").

NOTE: Even photos scanned in at 72 dpi will yield enough clarity for anything going to broadcast.

As soon as you have those jpgs imported and implemented your pans, tilts or zooms on them--then render the photo sequences as avi's and re-import them into your time-line. Premiere will handle them easily as avi clips.

A down&dirty trick that I have employed is if I am using existing hard copies of old photos---I simply shoot them with my digital still camera (5.1 images) and import those images--the shots are crisp and the jpg files are easily handled by Premiere.
 
Fyi- there are lots of programs, Photoshop included, that will do batch resizing to make this job easier. I use Breezebrowser for batch resizing, renaming, html [slideshows], etc.
 
OK, thanks for all the advice everybody! But I think I need to be more specific with what I have actually done:
-Firstly I edited together a sequence into about a three minute film
-I then exported the sequence as a picture file, so that each frame was a picture - all in all about 6000 photos
-Then I indivually edited the photos to create a specific effect (I know it sounds retarded, but this was the only choice I had at the time)
-Then I imported the photos back into Premier Pro - NOT all at once but in REASONABLE sections

By the way Im running Premier 2.0, have a lot of memory space left and my virtual memory is quite substantial, but Im just about to check it out to make sure its got the right settings!

Any more suggestion from what Ive now told you????
