What is the problem with exceeding 50MB of SWF Player RAM?
Video files are large and therefore take up large amounts of RAM. Flix tells you how much RAM your finished video will use on an end user’s computer, and it will warn you if it will exceed 50MB. The 50MB value is based on certain assumptions and is designed to work on the majority of users’ computers, but it may exceed the capabilities of some users’ computers. The key factor in RAM consumption is file size. If your output file size exceeds 50MB, you may want to reduce the size by reducing one or more of the following: image size, framerate, quality, audio bitrate, and maximum bitrate. You can also cut your movie into smaller files and load them separately. You can use the “Unload movie at end” check-box (SWF tab) to instruct the Flash player to unload the SWF video when it is finished playing. Unloading the video frees up any of the RAM it used.
Flash Player RAM consumption is determined primarily by the file size itself. If your output file size exceeds 50MB, you may want to reduce the size by breaking the movie up and loading it in sections with the “play with LoadMovie” play mode. This 50MB limit is based on certain assumptions and is designed to work on the vast majority of users’ computers, but it may exceed the capabilities of some users’ computers. Linx will warn you if you are going to exceed 50MB. You can use the “Remove when done playing” check-box (Play tab of the SWF Properties window) to instruct the Flash player to unload the SWF when it is finished playing. Unloading the SWFs frees up any of the RAM it used.
