Image Memory Demands

Beginners

Hello
Is there any method to reduce image gpu memory demands? I’m using quite a few high-resolution (300dpi) images in my production. As these are user selected from daily images I’m not able to down-res prior to TD import.

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Hi @Lozgriff,

do you need to process them at the high resolution they are given to you or can you set the Output Resolution of the Movie File In TOP to your output resolution?

Also if they are all loaded - maybe you don’t actually need them all at the same time? In that case you can preload and unload them whenever needed. The Movie File In TOP has python methods available to deal with that:

cheers

300DPI is saying nothing about actual resolution, it is about density compared to a physical surface…

Regarding your question: The MovieFileInTOP also has a limitResolution feature where you can reduce the resolutin on load.

Many thanks Snaut and Alphamoonbase. I’ll look into both suggestions.
