Edius 9wg - out of memory

[Jerry]

Consider the reformat without deactivating, similar to crashing. You loose an activation.

Yes, I am reformatting. Are you saying I should or should not deactivate 9WG?

[Geoff_C]

Since you are reformatting all data on the disc will be wiped clean.
Therefore you must deactivate before reformatting or loose an activation.

you must deactivate before reformatting

OK. Thank you.

Hi Rick.

If you follow these steps you’ll be good.

1. Make a disk image of your present system drive.

2. Deactivate Edius 9 and 8 if it’s still on your system.

3. Disconnect your striped drives.

4. Install Win10 to your system drive, the installer will allow you to reformat and wipe your Win7 install.

5. Activate Win10.

6. Let Win10 go online and fully update itself.

7. Install any GPU specific drivers and any MB drivers that Win10 missed.

8. Optimise your Win10 environment, if that’s what you’d normally do.

9. Install the BM driver, I’m using the latest without any issues.

10. Reconnect your striped drive set. You may have to re-active the set.

11. Make a disk image at this point.

12. Install and activate Edius 9, and only Edius 9.

13. Make another disk image.

Once you’re satisfied that your system and Edius 9 is all good, no crashes and editing is as expected, start incrementally adding any another crucial production software. I’d strongly recommend not adding anything other than software that’s crucial to production work, no productivity stuff etc. Once you’re happy with the setup with only the crucial stuff on it, image the system drive and maybe start adding any less than crucial software.

If at any stage something doesn’t work as expected, just go back to the previous image and carry on from there.

I’d recommend Macrium Reflect for the image stuff, check my tutorials on how to use Reflect.

Cheers,
Dave.

Dave, thanks. Yes, I am following these steps as you mostly described on the phone.

OK, I am back to editing again - goodbye Win7, hello Win10. So far, so good. Thanks for all your help.

Has anyone done suggested Win10 Pro settings for use with EDIUS? Anton maybe?

I haven't added updated information for Win 10 1903, but most of the .pdf is still pertinent. Look in my signature.

There was a line in your original post that I came back to. However, the idea of running out of memory every 24hrs is not appealing. Any suggestions from you guys? I need to make a decision soon. My client is very nervous.

If you are leaving the system on 24/7 after using multiple programs at the same time, are you cleaning out your temp files while you are working?
Also, look at this article:

No, strangely, the computer goes to sleep for exactly the same hours as me. So it clears out its temp files then.

Thanks for the Win10 Tweak pdf.

Have you checked to see if the temp files in both temp folders are removed?
As long as the system is on, even in hibernate, there are many things that are not being cleared. As long as there is power going to that processor, items are retained.
