If you try to use Final Cut Pro 4.1 on a computer that has less than 384 MB of memory installed, an "Out of Memory" message will appear.

Products Affected

Final Cut Pro

Final Cut Pro 4 requires 384 MB of RAM, and 512 of RAM for RT Extreme. Using the program on a computer that has less than 384 MB of memory installed will result in "Out of Memory" message when you open a sequence.

To resolve this issue, upgrade the computer's RAM to at least 384 MB. 512 MB of RAM is required to use RT Extreme effects and to use Soundtrack.

Complete system requirements for Final Cut Pro 4 can be found on the Final Cut Pro Technical Specifications page (http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/specs.html).
