Error: Out of Memory???????

I am having issues. First, I'm filming with two Canon 7D cameras. First I take the footage to Compressor and add the ProRes LT codec to it. I then take that footage into FCP 7 and create my sequences. I do use a green screen so there is chroma keying being done. This brings up another question altogether. The video quality then becomes kinda blurry. That's not what my main problem is though.

I go into the SEQUENCE SETTINGS and change the RENDER CONTROL to ProRes422. When I am done editing and go to render I get an error. "error: out of memory." I am TOTALLY confused. What memory am I out of and how do I correct it?

iMac 27" 2.8 GHz Quad Core i7, Mac OS X (10.6.6), 8 GB Ram

What are you keying the footage over? Still images? Are they CYMK?

Why aren't you using log and transfer to ingest the media and transcode to ProRes LT?

I have NO IDEA????? Don't even know what you're talking about. This is the only way I knew to do it. I would welcome any suggestions, as I am a new user and am just trying to figure it all out on my own.

The image is HUGE. It's 5152 × 5152. The crazy part is that I've done several with that same image and they have worked just fine. Now, all of a sudden I've been getting this error and can not render.

Reduce the size of these images to something like 2000 pixels across. Do this for all your images.

Read the section in the manual on log and transfer. You will need to get the Canon plugin, which you can download from the Canon web site. Google it.

If you are changing your sequences' Render settings to ProRes, then I am wondering what sequence settings you have anyway. The codec in the sequence settings should read ProRes in your case. And the Render setings could stick with "Same as Sequence" then.

Having said that, I think Tom is right. Your stills are too big scale them down as he suggests.
