DXV codec eats up all memory in Adobe Premiere Windows 10

Post by psychodalien »

Recently I've tried to edit 3 minute long 4k DXV file in ADobe Premiere (I've tried different versions - 2020, 2024) and Adobe Premiere ate up 128 gigabytes of memory while I was scrubbing timeline. I re-encoded DXV file to Apple prores 422 with Shutter Encoder, edited it in Premiere and then tried to encode it in DXV in Adobe Media encoder and the same thing happened. Media Encoder ate up a bit less memory, but anyway it was crazy.

Could be just Premiere trying not to write to the disk, as RAM is faster.
If it's not causing other issues, could be very normal behavior, that's what RAM is for.

So why it's happening only with DXV codec? And it's an issue, because when Premiere eats all memory - it crashes. And I can tell you that 128 Gbytes of memory is more than enough for above mentioned tasks. Also, Premiere is not After Effects - it doesn't load every frame into memory at once.

What's the DXV format you're using?

What do you mean by "format"? I use DXV 3 codec, .mov container.

Which DXV type, normal or HQ, with or without alpha?

Sorry for the delay. I tried to reproduce the issue (because it happened quite a while ago), but can't get the pattern. I successively encoded files in DXV NQ No Alpha, DXV NQ with Alpha, DXV HQ No Alpha, DXV HQ with Alpha, DXV HQ with Alpha and Sound and a few times it happened that Adobe Premiere's memory consumption rapidly grew with DXV HQ with Alpha and Sound encoded file. But a little later the same file didn't produce any problems. Because it's inconsistent bug, I can't make any conclusions now. Hope I will have time to experiment on it later and in case I find something, I will report. For now let me say sorry for bugging you.

P.S. Moreover, I updated Resolume to 7.21.3 so maybe something was fixed
