FCP is saying I'm exceeding the memory limit of my device? But it seems I'm not?

Below my media player in FCP the following stated: 'Playing back this portion of the timeline exceeds the device's memory limits. Try reducing the number of clips or the media resolution.

When I check activity monitor it says only 18/32 GB is used and No swap. It's working just fine.

However I'm trying to decide how much memory I may want for my next Mac and would love to know if memory is indeed slowing me down.


MacBook Pro M2 Max, 32GB of memory

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 13.4
