I currently have 16gb of memory on my desktop I7 system. There have been times when scanning rapidly through a multi-clip sequence in Windows Premiere Pro CC 2015 that Windows will hard-crash with a memory error. I have determined that it's a buffering problem--apparently as I'm zipping through the sequence, Premiere Pro is attempting to buffer into RAM the sequence from X-minute to Y-minute. It only has about 10gb of my total 16gb to work with, hits that wall, and Windows crashes.
I guess I can live with moving only slowly and deliberately through a sequence to prevent that from happening--or bite the bullet and get 32gb of memory--but it's funny I haven't read of this before.
