File sizes

[David]

I trying to work on an animation which would have a targeted file size of 4096 x 4096 with 4500 frames.

My render node has 32 gigabytes of ram and 4 terabytes of external drive. 

I keep getting "out of memory reduce image size" which doesn't make sense.

What have I set up wrong.

What program are you working in? Might be a software limit?
If you're in MB3D, then there's a limit to the memory the program can actually use (2 to 3 GB) (more info in the Readme.html that comes with the program) Like you I have 32 Gb RAM, but I reach the limit at 8500x8500. If you are trying to render 4096px by 4096px, but use anti-aliassing (check your Animation Maker screen) of f.i. 3, MB3D will want to render 12288px by 12288px. Anti-alias of 2 should not be a problem.
