hi i have adobe after effects version 7.0.1 (standard)

I have 300 gb hard drive
1gb ram
Vista home

When i start and play arnd in AAE everything is fine but when i try to import a video or picture it says Not enough memory or not enough memory Requested 1k avaliable
1123478K. So i was wondering what can be done to fix this

Any help would be grateful

Thank you

i dont know after effects - but this may help

How much free space do you have on the PC?
with photoshop - you can set how much memory you can use in preferences - can you do this with after effects
how much scratch space is assigned for after effects
How big is the file you are trying to open

Etaf is correct. You need to set up your scratch disks--

how do u set up scatch space? (newb at adobe)

Okay, a couple of things---First is you dont want AE sitting on the same drive that houses the video files you want to play with.

Edit/File Preferences/Cache/

Set it to 60% Set Maximum to 120%
