1. I got a message "Adobe Premier Pro is running out of memory....". I asked Adobe CC for support via remote assistance.
2. The chat message from the Adobe CC is shown below. The gist was that "

To: Everyone
But the issue you are facing is because your PC
is not fulfilling the minimum system requirements, we can check
Preferences >memory and then allocate right memory."
4. Conclusion is to do the following:
EDIT - PREFERENCES - MEDIA CACHE FILES.
to DELETE "unused media cache files" - Press OK. Adobe CC had already done that and I can now use Premier Pro without running out of memory, but must "delete unused media cache files" regularly.

Thank you for staying connected, I have checked
everything, everything is looking fine, the only thing we observe is
that as per Premiere pro system requirements the recommended memory for
Premiere pro is RAM 16 GB and a dedicated GPU with 2 GB minimum RAM
Date: 2023-12-27 10:23:51 +08
From: Raksha (Adobe)
To: Everyone
but this laptop is having 8 Gb RAM and no dedictaed GPU and the integrated GPU is only having 128MB
Date: 2023-12-27 10:23:57 +08
From: Kong Sing
To: Everyone
How do I increase RAM
Date: 2023-12-27 10:24:01 +08
From: Raksha (Adobe)
To: Everyone
so there might be some performance issue.
Date: 2023-12-27 10:24:50 +08
From: Kong Sing
To: Everyone
Can I ask you one question?
Date: 2023-12-27 10:25:29 +08
From: Raksha (Adobe)
To: Everyone
Yes please
Date: 2023-12-27 10:27:15 +08
From: Kong Sing
To: Everyone
I read in the internet about the solution to
this problem from Adobe Community. One correct answer was .....go to
Preference > enable AUTOSAVE. As I don't know how to do it, can you
do it?
Date: 2023-12-27 10:27:39 +08
From: Raksha (Adobe)
To: Everyone
I apologize but the step you are suggesting is nowhere related to memory error and the performance.
Date: 2023-12-27 10:27:55 +08
From: Raksha (Adobe)
To: Everyone
the Autosave thing is to generate a backup file of your projct.
Date: 2023-12-27 10:28:37 +08
From: Kong Sing
To: Everyone
OK. What is the solution? Do I buy more RAM?
Date: 2023-12-27 10:28:39 +08
From: Raksha (Adobe)
To: Everyone
But the issue you are facing is because your PC
is not fulfilling the minimum system requirements, we can check
Preferences >memory and then allocate right memory
Date: 2023-12-27 10:28:58 +08
From: Raksha (Adobe)
To: Everyone
but as I alredy checekd the memory allocation to other application should be 1/4 fo total
Date: 2023-12-27 10:29:09 +08
From: Raksha (Adobe)
To: Everyone
and the total is 8 Gb we allocated 1/4 which is 2
Date: 2023-12-27 10:29:26 +08
From: Raksha (Adobe)
To: Everyone
so it is fine I have also erased media cache files
Date: 2023-12-27 10:30:28 +08
From: Raksha (Adobe)
To: Everyone
but it is will work smooth for some time but it
is not permanent solution as when you will work on heavy files or if
you do any heavy editing the application will need resources from RAM
and GPU which might not fulfill the requiremnets.
Date: 2023-12-27 10:30:46 +08
From: Raksha (Adobe)
To: Everyone
Yes, you need to upgrade the RAM of laptop.
Date: 2023-12-27 10:30:59 +08
From: Kong Sing

Am I correct to say I should buy more RAM. HOw do I do it?

I apologize but as per our policies we can only
share the software requirements, the requirements needed by the
Premiere pro application to work effectively, I will share you an
article with full information about it and then you may get one as per
the requirements and your preferred price range

please go through it.

I am not that computer savvy. I cannot figure out what is the solution in this article?
Date: 2023-12-27 10:37:24 +08
From: Raksha (Adobe)
To: Everyone
Okay, so as per this artcile
Date: 2023-12-27 10:37:49 +08
From: Raksha (Adobe)
To: Everyone
The minimum need of PR is 8 GB of RAM and 2 GB of GPU RAM
Date: 2023-12-27 10:38:06 +08
From: Raksha (Adobe)
To: Everyone
your system is having 8 Gb of RAM but not 2 GB of GPU RAM>
Date: 2023-12-27 10:39:56 +08
From: Kong Sing
To: Everyone
Do I buy a fast internal SSD?
Date: 2023-12-27 10:41:24 +08
From: Raksha (Adobe)
To: Everyone
Yes you can try that but Premiere pro is a GPU
based application , please try to understand for the good performance
with minimal errors we need a dedicated GPU driver as well. which
contains minimum 2 Gb of VRAM
Date: 2023-12-27 10:42:26 +08
From: Raksha (Adobe)
To: Everyone
if you work on 4k file or number of HD file like a big product the minimum RAM the application need is 16 GB
Date: 2023-12-27 10:42:33 +08
From: Raksha (Adobe)
To: Everyone
which is your internal RAM.
Date: 2023-12-27 10:43:29 +08
From: Kong Sing
To: Everyone
Do I buy a computer with 16 GB RAM and 4 Gb of VRAM. Will this resolve the problem?
Date: 2023-12-27 10:45:01 +08
From: Raksha (Adobe)
To: Everyone
Ofcourse
Date: 2023-12-27 10:45:06 +08
From: Raksha (Adobe)
To: Everyone
it will be suitable
Date: 2023-12-27 10:45:44 +08
From: Raksha (Adobe)
To: Everyone
The major isues you are facing is because of the RAM and GPU if you upgrade them , the application will run fine
Date: 2023-12-27 10:45:54 +08
From: Kong Sing
To: Everyone
May I ask another question?
Date: 2023-12-27 10:45:58 +08
From: Raksha (Adobe)
To: Everyone
Yes please.
Date: 2023-12-27 10:47:55 +08
From: Kong Sing
To: Everyone
Will I get the same problem over time unless I
know how to clear the media cache which you did for me? My point is that
I still need to clear the media cache as I continue creating more
videos. Is that correct?
Date: 2023-12-27 10:49:03 +08
From: Raksha (Adobe)
To: Everyone
Yes, cleaning the media cache is to enhance the
performance, when we keep working on a project in the back the cache
start generating and they keep accumulating, which take storage and
makes the application slow, so yes it would be nice if you frequently
clan the cache.

How do I do it? Via Adobe Premier Pro?

Does it mean all my previous videos will be erased in Premier Pro?
Date: 2023-12-27 10:51:54 +08

No, nothing will be removed
Date: 2023-12-27 10:52:11 +08
