Managing Bins and Memory
System memory usage increases depending on how many bins you have open,
the number of sequences in a bin, the number of tools that are opened, and the
size of a sequence. Using more memory can slow system performance.
To view memory usage:
t Click the Bins tab of the Project window.
The memory usage monitor appears in the Bins tab of the Project window.
As you open multiple bins, the memory usage indicator increases and
updates.
Avid recommends that you keep memory usage below 80-85%. If you exceed
the recommended usage, a dialog box opens informing you that your memory
usage is high and that you should close some bins and save your project.
